You can't really expect any constructive comments from a website called Destructive Incorporated, even more so when they are picking on EA's not-so-promising-after-all Battlefield 2 add-on sequel. And yet, their "Top 10 Worst Things About Battlefield 2142" contains a surprisingly high amount of sane ideas - the kind of ideas that the devs somehow failed to think about. A few days of playing the game's disappointing demo version were more than enough for the author to not only point out the bad things, but also come up with solutions for fixing (or at least improving) each issue.

In short, here are the top ten things that Destructive Inc. felt the need to complain about:

"Also weapons that get too hot just like those world war 2 weapons, you know 50 years back, or from 2142 it would be 200 years ago. Good to see you can only fire a limited number of rounds before your weapon gets too hot and you have to let it cool down, it's an awesome feature that the soldier of the 22nd century has come to rely on to save his life.

(...)

It's a good thing that the exterior of the [Titans] look completely different, or I'd get confused which one is the enemy and which one is friendly. But thank God they have the exact same interior design, because then I would get so confused, wait huh? The titans have the same exact interior layout? Wow that's convenient.

(...)

Yes, there is still friendly fire. Apparently 130 years of technological advancement hasn't figured out how to prevent army personal from shooting their own people."

If anyone can come up with a list of ten good things about Battlefield 2142, to combat all the negative press the game / demo has been getting these last few days, by all means, I'd love to see it!
