  1. At it’s core, Northern Strike is essentially the same game battlefield fans have come to know and love, but gives players the opportunity for an enriched experience, by adding more of the near-future technology and awesome environments that made the original 2142 such a blast to play.
  2. You’ll get plenty of enjoyment out of it for just over $3 a map, a gaming bargain these days.
  3. It makes a lot of changes without alienating the core gameplay ideas, and adds a nice coat of polish and variety on top of the previous Battlefield 2142 content.
  4. If you liked the original, you’ll love the new features of Northern Strike. If not, the expansion won’t change your mind.

    A cheap and filling snack of carnage. [Apr 2007, p.80]
  6. The fast-paced and challenging gameplay is difficult to resist.
  7. Fast and furious. Once you have the commands down this is a blast to play.
  8. If you’re a dedicated enough player to have a nicely customised character with a reasonably full tech tree, or even just someone who enjoys a weekly dose of almost-massively multiplayer sci-fi FPS gaming without the monthly fees, the decision to get hold of Northern Strike will be an easy one to make.
  9. The first booster pack for Battlefield 2142 offers up three exciting new maps and a new gameplay mode, making it a must-have for fans of the multiplayer action game.

I played this game every day and every second of my life. The game was so good, i lved the Titan modus and the future. Hope they do a new Battlefield 2142 (Battlefield 2143). It would be really cool, because Battlefield 2142 was so amazing, its sad that they closed the servers. Full Review »
