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.

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

"Battlefield 2142 delivers a sci-fi themed experience using the familiar Battlefield style. While the setting may have changed a bit, the overall gameplay hasn't." ... Read full review

"A great game. However, it isn’t as big of an improvement as "Battlefield 2" was over "Battlefield 1942." The new ranking system and unlocks will definitely keep fans of the series coming back for more." ... Read full review

"A solid multiplayer game just like its predecessors. The new Titan mode is a lot of fun but sometimes it suffers from severe lag issues. The large amount of unlocks is both a blessing and a curse. [Dec 2006, p.82]"

"This is definitely a case of evolution over revolution and, although the franchise makes a confident leap into the future, 2142's engine and gameplay are firmly rooted in the past. The action is still fast and frantic, the warfare is epic and exciting and the loading times remain as excruciating as ever." ... Read full review

"Ultimately, Battlefield 2142 is a game for the hardcore player. If you've logged endless hours into Battlefield 2, you're going to love the new class tweaks and you'll probably have half of the unlocks within the first week." ... Read full review

PC Format
"Such ordinariness only reinforces the nagging sense that this is the same game with bits bolted on. That's always the case with Battlefield games, but this time it's too little, too soon. [Dec 2006, p.110]"

games(TM)
"Fails to offer anything fresh. The new elements added to the franchise are shamelessly plundered from other games, and generally not as well executed. [Dec 2006, p.114]"

It was my second FPS game for the computer (my first was Halo), and I say. I played this game for hundreds of hours. It is simply amazing - It was my second FPS game for the computer (my first was Halo), and I say. I played this game for hundreds of hours. It is simply amazing - The graphics, the optimization, the balance. The squad-play is also amazing, being able to help other people out through separate squads. Bottom Line: It's an amazing game, earns a 10/10 for me. You will simply love the thrill of hiding from a Battle-Walker hunting you down! Or throwing EMP grenades at oncoming cars and then shooting them in the rear! Or using the Recon's cloak device to sneak past enemy lines and come up for a quick kill! It's certainly one of the best games I've ever played in my life. People that rate this game badly clearly haven't put any time or effort into exploring the game. Expand

This is a great game hampered by some silly account management issues and EA's pathetic support.
