Aside from general gameplay/mechanics which are reasonably similar in both games, the main thing for me was atmosphere.
BF2 is set in a world we can relate to, it is our world, it has an atmosphere that we can believe in and embrace. 2142 is set in a make believe future which relies heavily on out imaginations to make it believable, and therefore enhance game play. This is where 2142 falls down.
It's too similar to most other 'sci-fi' shooters and lacks, IMHO, any real atmosphere. Now this is personal preference, but prefer my sci-fi gritty and dark, think the original Alien and Event Horizon. I am a big fan of W40k universe and I would love to play a FPS based on that, but 2142 just seemed to me to be guys just wearing different clothes with lazer guns and the occasional 'future' tank type doodad.

51% BF2 vs 49% BF2142 
Both are great fun.
The thing that'll make BF2142 as good as BF2 will be when they finally manage to sort out all the bugs/glitches/exploits.

BF2 is my personal favourite.
I don't like BF2: SF that much and I don't like BF2142 even less.

Definitely BF2 ...
I dunno ... something about 2142 just put me off ... It's like it seemed bogged down or something ... even when it was running perfectly ... I don't really know how to put it.
I just couldn't get into it ...

2142 was kewl when it first came out ... then they nerfed it right up.
Thing is ... i'm not sure exactly how they nerfed it .. but the letters l a and g seem to play a massive role.

BF2.
I'm not into futuristic weapons. the last games i enjoyed with those in was Shadow Warrior & Halflife1.
The only joy bf2142 brought me was to watch bf2142 vets jump off buildings in bf2 and get splattered on the pavement while, i presume, frantically smacking their spacebar button to open their chutes. ^_^
like schitz said, its all about realism... same goes for ww2 games ... i rate them by the *ching* sound the M1 garand makes.
