Ready your guns and fire up the Titan, we have some silos to capture!

User Rating: 7.5 | Battlefield 2142 PC
Battlefield 2142 is a part of the Battlefield series and lives up to it's predecessors in most ways it can. This game features no campaign and suffers greatly from a lack of Single Player material, but don't turn your back on it just yet. While Battlefield 2142 may be much weaker then it's forefathers in Single Player, it has improved greatly in Multi Player, Titan mode is the greatest improvement by far.

You will know little about what is happening in the story of this game no matter what you try to do, but the basic story is that, a new ice age has started and Europe and Asia have formed armies to fight each other valiantly over the little snow free land that is still on earth. Fairly exciting as it sounds, you choose to be either a European or an Asian before and in the battle and the basic thing is to kill the enemy and get silos or reinforcements points.

If you haven't played a Battlefield game before you are probably thinking about how terrible boring that sounds, but if you have played the other 2 (or at least 1 of them) you will understand where I am going with this. This is what Battlefield is about, running around shooting "bad guys" and taking over stuff. If you don't like the idea (many FPS game do something similar to this I believe) just forget I ever wrote anything and stop reading.

If you played Battlefield 2 which I guess most of the people that own this one did, you will remember that there could be slight fun in playing it alone, and the 1st Battlefield was even so brave to feature a Campaign. There is no such thing in this game, the difficulty that you can choose doesn't change much until it becomes really hard and enemies see through walls and have 100% accuracy.

Moving on to the Multi Player, now that is a work of art, running in a Titan with a few buddies to blow up a few computers so you can destroy the main power generator. No I'm lying, it's not anything like that, because either you enemies make sure you never get into the Titan alive or they make sure you are bone meal before you get to the computers, chances are you will never reach the terminals and you'll have to wait for the silos to finish off the Titan.

Conquest mode is also pretty fun, (most of) the maps are well made and well put out so no one really doesn't get unfair advantage. The Upgrade system is also one of the things that will make you drool and never stop playing this game until you have reached something you want.

But this game has some large bugs I have encountered and most noticeably is the jump into wall bug which seems to have happened to a few people. I'm not a big fan of people that use those things to their advantage, since I'm just a fairly good player in this game. Lag and graphics glitches are also frequent visitors and the game can just plainly freeze up, even if it's running at a low settings.

All in all it's a good game with a lot of wasted potential and opportunities for Noobism (new word). If you really want to play this one I think there are always 4 or 5 servers still open, but I'd rather recommend you the booster pack, it most likely has more servers and it has extra unlockable stuff.
