Summary: The year is 2142, and the dawn of a new Ice age has thrown the world into a panic. The math is simple and brutal: The soil not covered by ice can only feed a fraction of the Earth's population. Some will live, most will die. In Battlefield 2142, players choose to fight for one of two military superpowers in an epic battle for survival, the European Union or the newly formed Pan Asian Coalition. Armed with a devastating arsenal of hi-tech assault rifles, cloaking devices and sentry guns, players also do battle using some of the most imposing vehicles known to man. Massive battle Mechs wage fierce combat on the ground, while futuristic aircraft rule the skies. When facing one of these new behemoths, players need to use their wits and an arsenal of new countermeasures like EMP grenades to level the playing field. [Electronic Arts]… Expand

Rampaging counter-measures aside; Battlefield 2142 is the latest and greatest release in the series and is well worth every pound/dollar/euro.

To be truthful, Titan mode is really the only significant addition to the game. This could just as easily have been an expansion pack for Battlefield 2, featuring Titan.

Bf2142 is like an elusive club, or like marmite, love it or hate it kind of thing. now i'm not saying it's perfect, hence the 9, but christ on a bike, it's got lots of original features, titan mode, rank system that is genuinley rewarding, and who denies the grim satisfaction of 'podding' on an unspecting victim, genius. but there is a catch... punkbuster can be a mare, but with a bit of fiddling and researching is overcomeable, ea's support for this franchise is undying and has a massive following, regardless of others opinion, also the adrenalin you can be burning off when things start heating up is addictive. the locations are very well thought out too, if a little bland and unpopulated(where is everyone?) team up's is well put together also and in some m/player servers manditory, but that isnt a bad thing as it brings you all together, filling each other up with med and ammo is also a great feeling, commeradery an all, altogether a great game that can be bought for peanuts now.

It's a step down from BF2 and it costs more as well. It's just as bug ridden, has a different setting (which you may or may not like better), and generally worse gamplay. If you really love futuristic games and don't already own BF2 then it's worth a look but otherwise buy/keep playing BF2.… Expand

I played this game on MAX detail level, played just fine fast and smooth. But the graphics seem to be alittle outdated. Did they use the engine from an older game? I think so. and it show like it. The gameplay is ok. But nothing special. Overall I am disappointed with this game. It feels like it was rushed into being released.… Expand
