info on 2142 engine
 

[quote:1b608]Battlefield 2142 will be based on a tweaked Battlefield 2 engine. There are some new rendering features being added such as new lighting effects. No Floating Point HDR however. While there is currently support for Shader Model 3.0 they have not added any features that require 3.0 shaders. There is no hardware physics acceleration. [/quote:1b608]


So it supports sm 3.0 and a few other things but nothing in the game will make use of them. Nice to see theyre making the most of this engine and excelling themselves. rolleyes: oOo:

Isn't BF2 just a tweaked BF42 engine to begin with?

Can't expect much out of something with EA on the box, Gervy.

i thought BF2 was a whole new engine, so Battlefield 2142 is just a mod?

Bf2 is a whole new engine..apparently. The 42 engine was used for bf:nam as well as the original with the expansions.

weird. seems like so many of the little quirks are exactly the same. of course, i can't remember any of them since i haven't played in like 3 months rolleyes:
