    The interface is wonderful. You have so much information immediately available to you. Google Maps always has a minimap in the lower left corner, which gives you a good overview of the area. Getting information about people gives you a clear, clear window. Hacking offers a menu with easily recognizable icons, so you always know what your button presses will do.

    A low entry title into the franchise. The core gameplay is the best out of the Refractor engine BF games, so why the relatively low score? Because it's inferior to BF2 in almost every other department.

    Map design and Titan: some of the least compelling in the series and is apparently due to new hires in the company being assigned to create them. A total of 10 maps were featured on release and another 10 were added by game patches. A new game mode premiered in 2142 called Titan mode, a heavily modified variant of the original conquest. Instead of capturing flags, you capture silos that bring the health of the enemy Titan's shields down. Instead of reducing enemy ticket count to 0, you reduce the enemy Titan's shield down to 0 either by controlling silos or destroying the interior of the Titan after breaching

    I enjoyed the game while it lasted. It would be a perfect 10 if EA did give a frack about the bugs in it. At some point a bug in the central servers poped up for no reason and they wouldn't fix it for 2-3 MONTHS while they were ignoring everyone in the forums not even giving a clue about what is going to happen to the unplayable game. Another game destroyed by The bad company. (pun intended)

    For me, this was the best of the franchise until BF1. It came at a time where console games were dumbing down most genres. We're better now, though rest in peace flight sims and RPG writing, and for some reason they are trying to make RTS titles into mobile games. Don't get me started on their mentally challenged mutant offspring MOBAs.

    This title didn't suffer from that.

    hile I feel like Titan mode and some other little things weren't polished or fantastic, I deeply enjoyed this one. There were some balancing issues.. one of the assault's last guns is hyper accurate and shoots mini-rockets to boot (pretty much never died to anything but the voss and that's why i remember the name). It was never a HUGE deal, but still irritating.

    You can still play it, but there's this thing about old games where only the worst servers survive, like roaches. Yeah it is pretty cool when the clan who runs the server has placed a bugged invulnerable squad spawner in your uncapturable HQ and is constantly vehicle stealing/shooting behind your lines hurr hurrr..    … Expand

    "Battlefield 2142" was a solid addition to the great sequel. New weapons and transport, what would a battlefield fan want more? Unfortunately this was not enough to keep players into the game. One evening of fun left positive feelings, but next day my friends and I jumped back into "Battlefield 2" and never run '2142' again.

I have logged hundreds of hours of BF2142 and can say that it is THE BEST MULTIPLAYER FPS game I have EVER played (given that it works, i will explain later). I have plenty of friends that played 2142 and they all loved it, and I occasionally meet someone that had played the game, and it is almost always that we get in a long passionate conversation about the game and all the fun times we had in it. I would say that anyone that got the game to work correctly, and took the time to get fully accustomed to it, is very likely going to love the game. The amazing thing about the game in my opinion is that they took BF2, and fixed pretty much everything that was bad or annoying about it, and put it in a completely different setting, with a different feel to it. the balance in this game is surprisingly very good, as every class or vehicle has very well thought out strengths and weaknesses, along with actual directional hit detection that works. not only is the balancing good, but i like how they simplified the class system and just made everything more streamlined and efficient. instead of 8 classes, they combined them into 4 while giving you the option to customize your kits for your situation. I loved that, since in BF2, it seemed like all the classes had IMMENSELY powerful strong points, and everything else was a weakness. basically, now you have a chance of winning in almost any situation, though the chances all depend on skill and luck, instead of like in BF2, where you excel in certain situations, and every other situation, you will be overwhelmed and slaughtered. Now, onto the bad parts of the game. the main problem I find with the game is EA. This was the last game that the original BF team worked on in DICE, and in my opinion, the pinnacle of their work. in case if you didnt know, the original dev team for BF quit DICE and joined Infinity Ward, meaning that CoD4 was actually BF3. but enough about that, EA ruined BF2142 since they decided to go about giving absolutely horrendous support for it, as the game program was immensely finicky, it loved to not run correctly, many times for no apparent reason at all. plus, the updates were few and far between, meaning that bugs and glitches stayed in the game for quite a while before they were fixed. At first, 2142 was not that great due to the horrid way EA ignored the game, then it got better for a couple years. however, they decided to stop with all support for the game and stop updates quite soon for this game, when hundreds, maybe thousands of people were on at once, still fervently playing this game, at least when i know the community was still VERY active. as to the advertising, its actually not a big deal, all that happens is that, depending on what server you play on, they can change the graphic displayed on billboards in game, I dont get why so many people are worked up about it, and why so many people would give a "0" to a perfectly great game just because they dont like any kind of advertising at all. So, to sum it all up, BF2142 is the Best multiplayer FPS game I have ever played, when it works. the game itself was pure platinum, but EA had to get around to ruining it. If you want to play this game, you cant anymore. the community is almost non-existent now since EA decided to abandon it quite a while ago, if you had played this game a good couple years ago, it would have been something amazing, but its time has passed. Its one of those under-rated gems of a game, pretty much ignored since BF2 was still super popular at the time.… Expand

Don't just try the demo either, because I doubt anybody is playing that anymore, actually go out and buy it (what is it, like, $15 - $20 now?) - Just give it a try, play on Camp Gibraltar, or some other map around that size, try Titan mode around, and just get a feel for it, I'm sure you'll love it.

All of these posts, all of these negative reviews which are criticising the game's supposedly use of "spyware" to spy on your computer are complete and utter b******t. I've played this game for almost 5 years already and I have had no side effects from playing this game at all. GameSpy is included in this game to track the record of how long you play and also to advertise things on those billboards ingame. Also, who the hell cares if there is an advertisement for something in the game? (which isn't all the time anyway, only on specific weeks) There is advertisement EVERYWHERE these days.

    O.K, now on to the review.

    Battlefield 2142 is, in a way, like Battlefield 2... but only a lot better. It now has 2 gamemodes:

    Conquest: The classic gamemode for the battlefield series. Each team is given a certain amount of respawns for players (called "tickets") and you have to capture flags across the map (to either spawn in that area or to gain access to certain vehicles which also spawn there). There are even game modes, like "Assault Lines" where a team has one/both teams have capturable main bases (if all the other flags are captured by the other team).

    Titan: This is the new gamemode featured. Basically, both teams start with a big flying battleship (called a Titan) with AA + Ground cannons, a hanger (which spawns air vehicles) and an infantry pod (capsule) launcher (you get in there and you're launched out like a rocket, you can then guide your way to where you want to go in the air... well, you can't go ANYWHERE when you get launched. You have a certain amount of time until your pod falls to the ground. When your pod crashes to the ground, you either have to catch a ride or run to the destination you wish to go to). Both teams have to try and destroy the opposing team's Titan in order to win the game. They do this by capturing missile silos which automatically launch missiles every 5 minutes against Titans -*Stops*- I could go on forever explaining the gamemode, just search "Titan Tutorial 2142" on Google/YouTube.

    So with the addition of this new game mode, the game already has more replayability than Battlefield 2. You can play the original Conquest mode + Titan.

    The concept for the game is great. The idea of a federated European Union fighting against a newly created Pan Asian Coalition (rather than it being just another America (Blue + Better/Organised Equipment) vs Russia (Red + Worst/Unorganised Equipment) gives it an original feeling than most FPSs out there at the moment. Both factions have slight differences, such as the EU mainly use bullets, grey camoflauge, blocky vehicles/equipment + are a bit more traditional while the PAC use plasma bullets (they're not really lasers, they still feel like normal bullets but with just a higher pitched "bang" sound + a blue muzzle flash), black camoflauge, curvy vehicles/equipment + technologically advanced vehicles (such as the hover tank and hover speeder in the Northern Strike maps). You can easily distinguish from which side a player is based on the looks of them.

    You have the ability to customize what your class should be equipped with which is also better than Battlefield 2 (which gave you a fixed type of equipment and fixed armour type with each class). You also unlock more equipment/weapons as you rank up (there are 41 ranks. There are an extra 3 ranks, but they're for really dedicated/pro players which are ranked high in the global leaderboard).

    Balancing is also great in this game, ignore what some people have said before about this. There are no jet fighters in this game, just VTOL helicopters (which are actually combination of a jet fighter and a helicopter) which I think is a good thing. In Battlefield 2, any map which gave each side 1 or 2 jets was a complete rapefest. Experienced pilots would basically kill EVERYONE with their side guns, missiles and bombs. In Battlefield 2142, experienced pilots can be taken down more easily with the improvements in ground AA turrets (EMP rockets + plasma cannons/Titan AA gun which are just big Gatling guns), the AA bazooka (like a Stinger) and other (e.g. the secondary turret for the battlewalkers has smaller gatling guns and EMP rockets).

    There are many more good things, but the number of characters I've used are almost over the limit, so I'm going to end it.

    10/10 - Great game.    … Expand

    Little more than "Battlefield 2" with mechs and gunships. In nearly every way, a round of 2142 plays out exactly like a round of its predecessor. Not that that’s a particularly bad thing, but for all intents and purposes this is a $50 mod.
