Oh, I could fill a page with all the advantages that would come from switching to the 2142 engine.
However, a main problem is we can't take any vBF2 assets into 2142, so everything that we currently use from vBF2 that we didn't make ourselves, we'd have to make ourselves for it to be used with 2142, to not violate the EULA.
Also, we're a BF2 mod. Moving to the 2142 engine this late into our mod's life just doesn't make sense form a longevity point of view. It would require a huge chunk of the current community to buy a new game which honestly doesn't offer that much improvement from the current engine and would probably be passed up for a newer engine in the future.

And however many features you add, take one away and you'll have a rebellion

yes, joint ops has a nice collision engine. but no, it's not perfect.
for example, in BF2, hypothetically, you're in your chinook need to make a sharp turn? bank left and pull up. in joint ops you turn on 1 axis.
so BF2 sacrifices collision for flight physics.
let me try again.
-JO you get 3 axis to work on
- forward/back
- left/right
- up/down
-BF2
you are free from those axi and can do whatever, whether it's a flip, a sharp bank or a roll.
Ah damn, i forgot the helos were completely crud
Who remembers GRENADE JEEPS ON CHOPPERS!!!! ???
