Video Game Reviews of Battlefield 2142 Deluxe EditionCustomer Review: Great game but..... Summary: 4 StarsBattlefield is one of the great fps franchises, and bf2142 continues the tradition with a futuristic spin on the series. It takes place in 2142 where Earth has entered another ice age and the humans left on earth are struggling to survive. Two factions, the EU and PAC, fight for territory using the most advanced firearms and vehicles.
The gameplay is the same as bf2 but is a little different. Sort of like skill trees, each class has a tiers for unlocks. For example as recon, you can go towards being a sniper and unlock APM mines, 4x scope, kinetic stabilizer, and Zeller H advanced sniper rifle , or be more of a stealthy assualt with RDX, invisibility camo, and Lambert Carbine. Plus you get the usual badges, pins, medals, and dogtags (think of the predator and his "trophies"). The gameplay is satisfying and will keep you entertained for quite a while.
The graphics are more beefed up this time around with enhanced lighting effects and more detailed foliage and architecture. The sound is fantastic, as always, DICE never disappoints in that area.
HOWEVER, if you want to buy this game buy the regular edition. The deluxe edition is buggy and is supposed to come with northern strike, but guess what, EA managed to mess it up for the fans once again. The registration of northern strike just does not work, and if anyone says otherwise they got lucky because more than half of the people who bought the deluxe edition couldn't get it to work or flat out couldn't play bf2142 at all.
Basically, if you want his game, buy the regular version, it's much safer and the game itself is worth every penny you'll spend.
EDIT: I got Northern Strike to work, you have to contact ea customer support on your ea account. If you have trouble with the game, you must do this, otherwise you're safe. Overall, though the trouble with installation and all is annoying, this is still a great game. If you have a pc, buy it. And yes it does work with vista, install the patch 1.50 and run as adminastrator and you shouldn't have any problems.
Description of Battlefield 2142 Deluxe EditionAl Gore won a Nobel Peace Award for his work on global warming and the possible ills the world could suffer. Award winning Battlefield 2142 Deluxe Edition also includes another action-packed EA game - Northern Strike. Battlefield 2142 - In 2006 a climatic catastrophe triggered a new ice age on earth. A hundred years later, everyone gave up on finding a solution to the problem and two superpowers were formed: Europe and on the other side the Pan Asian Coalition - causing an arms race. Now it's 2142 and the war for the few resources left has already been going on for a few years, with no end in sight. Armed with a devastating arsenal of hi-tech weaponry, including assault rifles, cloaking devices and sentry guns, players will also take control of the most lethal vehicles known to man. Massive battle Walkers wage fierce combat on the ground, while futuristic aircraft rule the skies. When taking on this futuristic armor players will need to use their wits and an arsenal of new hi-tech countermeasures like EMP grenades and smart mines to level the playing field. Epic online gameplay for up to 64 players drops gamers on the front lines as part of a formal squad, or behind the scenes in Commander Mode to direct the strategic assaults of their team-mates. In Northern Strike, it's a few years into the most desperate struggle in the history of mankind, and with the conflict focused around the Mediterranean, the Pan Asian Coalition (PAC) seizes the chance to claim the undefended natural resources beneath the ice of mainland Europe. By the time the EU is aware of their presence, the enemy is firmly entrenched in the continent's harsh ice fields, among abandoned city ruins and soaring mountain peaks. Only fierce close-quarters infantry battles along claustrophobic city streets and narrow rocky passes will eject the PAC forces from their well-defended positions and push them back towards the sea.
