You'll get plenty of enjoyment out of it for just over $3 a map, a gaming bargain these days.
-
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.
-
86It 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.
-
85If you liked the original, you'll love the new features of Northern Strike. If not, the expansion won't change your mind.
-
81A cheap and filling snack of carnage. [Apr 2007, p.80]
-
80The fast-paced and challenging gameplay is difficult to resist.
-
80Fast and furious. Once you have the commands down this is a blast to play.
-
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.
-
77The 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.
-
73A booster pack that adds just enough to satiate hunger before a proper expansion is released. All BF2142 owners should own this. Cheap price, too.
-
70Northern Strike is a polished offering, a lot more than the token handful of stuff draped around the glinting trophy of new unlocks it could have been.
-
70Even if you never touch the new maps or vehicles or game modes (which you will), the skill advancements and extra items for each specialization alone are a tremendous reward that is available for the standard game modes and maps. What this doesn't do is address any core technical issues with the game.
-
70Everything in Northern Strike is fine. None of it, however, is vital. [Apr 2007, p.65]
-
65The quality of the content on offer is above cynical expectation - in fact, I'll come right out and say it: Northern Strike is a good expansion pack. [Apr 2007, p.79]
-
60This is decent but minimal new content that you'll want mainly because you're sick of the few maps you were given in the original game.
