Battlefield 2142 (DVD-ROM) Review

I have been playing the Battlefield series since BF1942 first came out. Infact Bf1942 introduced me to online multiplayer pvp. I was hesitant first that I will get mowed down by people half of my age (well I am not that old but not that young either hehe) but I have been able to hold my own ever since I have started playing this series and even some other online pvp games. Infact I think these onlines pvp games keep one reflxes as well hand/eye cordination sharp.

Anywho enough of the back story but just wanted to chime that this game is immensely fun and addictive infact I think it's the best entry in Battlefied series so far. I have stopped playing other Battlefield games and now I concenterate mostly on BF2142. They are about 14+ maps in BF2142 if you get the deluxe package which includes the expansion and is at a price you cant beat.

As people have stated the game is mainly online fps pvp game so you have to be online to play it and you must like to pvp in a fast pace gameplay with guns, tanks, aerial vehicles, turrets and other personal arnament. You can be a sniper, a engineer or basically anti-tank/air, support is as name implies supports you with extra ammo, deployable munitions and assualt which are the front-line soldiers with heavy weaponary. They are different modes to play in like conquest, assualt (take over bases more than the opposition) and my personal favourite titan mode in which everyone has to work together to take over silos all over the map to bring down Titan's (a massive airship) so it can be assualted or damaged slowly by the missiles. The maps are huge about 14+ maps rendered in great details, varied enough not to get boring and support upto 64 players for a massive war feel.

I work and go to college too so only have weekends to play. I spend most of my indoor free-time with playing Bf2142 or other BF series game online and time seem to just fly by with these games(testasment to the 'fun' factor). I even cancelled my world of warcraft account as I just couldnt keep up with the constant gear grind to remain competitive in pvp with that game. Speaking of which the best thing about BF series games that you pay for the game once and than jump in for your pvp dose whenever you feel like it. You dont have to do pve or spend endless time to gear yourself up to be viable in pvp. Bf2142 does have a similar gearing system or unlocks which rewards you with better gear as you play more and rank up or gain levels. But these upgrades unlike pvp mmo's dont break the game for you. These are enchancement which make you a better adversary but unless you use your skills wisely even a newbie who just got the game can kill you one-on-one too.

They are some cons to the game which I will list too but nothing game-breaking. First the much stated adware by EA. Its true that it does get installed by the game unfortunately and loads up at start-up to monitor your web usuage so the in-game ads show your preference. However, this adware is not designed to be in stealth mode and can easily be disabled in windows startup utility or if you have a good firewall it will auto-block this outgoing connection for you. Second yes the game have ads billboard but they are hardly noticeable and infact to me kind of makes the game world bit more alive seeing a real world ad. Last, this game does have issues with windows vista and 7 since it was designed for Win xp and lower. You need to first make sure to set the executable for this game on your harddrive to windows xp sp2 comptability mode, check the administrator option and hit apply. Than get the latest version of punk-buster and let it update BF2142 client and you are all set(punkbuster is good actually otherwise the game will be overrun and unplayable with hacker/cheaters).

Anyways I highly recommend the game for anyone wanting to play great online fps with a futuristic theme and with this price it can't be beat. They are lots of servers still out there and most of them are always full or near full.
