For years now shooters have come and gone but there have always been the few that stuck around to become classics. Battlefield 1942 being one of them brought to the table large scale battles, vehicle use, and balanced weaponry. Not much changed after a several expansion packs and another game based in Vietnam. Then a new champion came out, Battlefield 2. It was praised for it's balanced game-play, graphics, and squad systems. There was only one major problem with it and that was that It lacked the large scale battles that it's predecessors but brought in more urban fighting. This alienated some of it's fans that wanted to see a dozen tanks attacking each other at once or just a bloodbath over the entire battlefield.

But that has all changed. Battlefield 2142 brings back the large scale battles with it's new Titan mode which creates a hectic battlefield for both sides. This new mode gives a direct objective for both teams and gives more of a feel of war than just a scaled down urban battle. With the addition of some great sound effects, futuristic looking weapons (They do look and feel like real guns), and cosmetically different vehicles it brings a Sci-Fi feel to an already great series.

Only issues that have occured with this game include problems with online play, a dated graphics engine but still looks good, and the fact that the ticket price for the game is a little steep for some players who feel it is only a mod. Any which way, I would recommend downloading the demo and give it a try before buying the game as it will only appeal to some of the battlefield series fans.
