Battlefield 2142

Battlefield 2142 is a first-person shooter computer game designed by Digital Illusions CE and is the fourth game in the Battlefield series. It is set in the 22nd century, during a new ice age. Currently, there have been over one million rounds played since its release.[1]

The game was built primarily for multiplayer use allowing a maximum 64 players on a server and allows a single player mode with AI bots on Conquest mode with a maximum up 16 players. It has its own ranking system to keep track of the user's stats similar to the one used in its predecessor, Battlefield 2. It additionally opens up a new field of vehicles not seen in Battlefield 2 as well as new futuristic weapons the player is able to use. Battlefield 2142 has an unlock system allowing the player to choose a new unlock every time they achieve a new rank rather than making them purchase the item. EA has also released an expansion pack called Battlefield 2142: Northern Strike which contains 3 new maps, 10 new unlocks, and 2 new vehicles.

Alot of people seem to not like this game. I, on the other hand, love it. I go through spits of time where that's all I want to do. It's just a really cool game with new features and a nice, shiny look. Besides, battlewalkers are cool.

I have been a Battlefield fan for a long time. I started out on Battlefield 1942, loved the mods for it like Desert Combat and Forgotten Hope. The news of Battlefield 2 coming out made me happy. Once I got it though, it wasnt long before I became turned off to it's bugs, the balance issues, and mainly because a lot of us heard Trauma Studios helping to work on BF2 and were hoping for a modern version of Desert Combat. When we didnt get it, a lot of us were disappointed. Not to mention patches coming out about once every two months and still not fixing major issues made the game quite unenjoyable. So when BF2142 was announced a lot of us thought it'd be the same old lack of support and polish yet again. The demo did not do much to dissuade the fact. Yet, surprisingly enough, Battlefield 2142 is quite balance, and has shown uncommon support from EA-Dice. I'm happy to say that 2142 is probably the most fun out of all the Battlefield games and I'm enjoying it quite well.

BF2142 delivered on most of what was promised and despite the anti-EA haters and DICE-suxxors dudes, this game is very enjoyable. I've never understood the angst behind the fast release of BF2142 so soon after BF2's release. I love getting games more quickly and for the most part, I didn't think it was terribly buggy either, despite following on the heels of BF2 like it did. Loads of fun!

"I personally have never seen the gun jam bug that people speak of but if it is there I say leave it in as guns jam in real life."

quote from one of the reviews.

its not a gun jam as in RL. the gun jam glitch is when someone near you isnt firing a weapon, but you hear the constant audio of gun fire coming from their direction.

but the player who has the problem doesnt notice it since they dont hear the sound themselves, so continue to run around annoying the hell out of everyone.

the sound goes away eventually when they switch weapon. the problem is, there isn't really a way of telling them without joining their squad and speaking down the mic hoping they understand english, considering no one pays attention to text messages.

Honestly, I love it. yes it still has alot of the issues of BF2. I will say though the performance it greatly improved. I have it on 3 systems and all 3 perform better than BF2 at equal graphics settings. Plus I'm just a scifi kinda guy. I love it! I have tried playing BF2 since I got BF2142 and I found myself miserable and quitting to go play BF2142 everytime.
