Video Game Reviews of Battlefield 2142 Deluxe Edition
Customer Review: This entry into the battlefield line is lacking.
Summary: 3 Stars
Let me start this out with saying I loved Battlefield 1942, I think of all the Battlefield games out, this was the best overall, and sequels were sorely lacking, Battlefield 2142 takes place in the future where armies fight over what is left of usable land after another ice age starts.
Let me break this down to pro and cons.
Pros:
Love the Titan levels, defending the titans from attack is great, I wish they would have made it where you had to destroy the reactor to destroy the titan only, not the missiles as doing it as well.
Not as many aircraft for people to camp over, only two models, so more people actually trying to fight.
The maps are well done, good graphics.
Giving points for people actually working as team, giving ammo and healing.
Not as many classes, more streamlined.
Cons:
One kill hits with a knife??? your wearing futuristic combat armor and someone can come up and one hit kill you with a "KNIFE" utter nonsense and stupid, never bring a knife to a gunfight,stick with that DICE.
Hackers, the ranking system makes it even worse than other Battlefield games, you can tell them, 75 plus kills and one or two deaths, it's all skill yeah right.
Weak armor, tanks and other vehicles are pretty much nothing more than taxis, they are easily destroyed, why even bother having armor if it can be wiped out in 1 minute when entering battle.
Unlocks make it harder for beginners, even though it's faster to get them, I like it better when it was all even no matter what class you chose.
Tanks and other armor are weak, but the aircraft can take hits out the wazoo, love their thinking, aircraft spammers were so great in the other games, lets make it even easier for them, while making armor easier to blow up.
Problems with the Northern Strike add on, had to go back and forth with EA before they got it fixed finally, what a pain that was.
All in all, not a bad game, I wish they would make another Battlefield 1942 game a sequel.
Customer Review: a lemon best to be avoided but good gameplay
Summary: 1 Stars
There is a reason consoles have gained more market share. You put the game in and it works. If you can get past that first step your game sucks and you lost.
Welcome to EA Games or you'll wish you hadn't wasted your money.
Now let me start by saying I love this game. I think it is a great mix of modern and futuristic in an FPS. I loved playing it when I was able to. After a while it just stops working. I've patched it, didnt worked uninstalled it, reinstalled it-left it unpatched then had problems with punkbuster not updating, uninstalled it reinstalled it patched it, did a securom workaround for their buggy antipiracy software, manually updated punkbuster finally got it working played for 3 days then it stops working again-did a system restore didnt work, uninstalled it and reinstalled still didn't work. Workaround in forums are for xp not vista. Gave up for now. Will try again later but this will be my last ea product. I never had so many problems and in trying to get the northern strike expansion to work don't even get me started.
Anyway....great game but crappy software all around(your piracy paranoia has doomed all those who actually PAID for it)...wish it was on a console that I could just put in and play online like right NOW! Thanks again EA!
Customer Review: A Great Game. A Great Value
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great value. You get both Battlefield 2142, a great game, bundled with it's booster pack, or miniature expansion pack, for a very reasonable price. The game has few bugs, and has a great community.
I highly recommend this game!
Customer Review: Great Game BUT.....................................
Summary: 3 Stars
Buyer Beware!!!
This deluxe edition claims to have the booster pack Northern Strike as well but either this is not the case or EA has some serious problems here. Just search the internet and you will find numerous threads on this issue with the game deluxe edition.
In short, the game installs fine claiming that you are getting both the orginal version as well as the booster pack. However, once you are done activating and registering your account you can ONLY play the orginal BF2142 maps with no issues. But once you try to access any of the Northern Strike booster pack maps the game acts like you dont have the booster pack installed and directs you to EA link to purchase it even though the deluxe edition should have installed the booster pack already. I have sent lots of emails to EA but all i am getting are useless automated or cut & paste responses. As of now there is no real resolution to this issue. If EA helps me out I will update my post otherwise think before buying.
Other than that an awesome game. The titan mode is the real winner here. I have been involved in some serious fights around and inside the Titan for supermacy. You have 14 maps of intense battles and the game rewards the players who played the most with more effective weapons as well as armor unlocks and a persistent talent system. I will however, seriously recommend all newbies(until you have unlocked some weps and armor too) to stick with armored vehicles and only try to engage one-on-one if you have the advantage or are in a group. Otherwise you will be relentlessly farmed by players who have uber weapons than you for a very long time.
Customer Review: Battlefield 2142
Summary: 5 Stars
I played BF1942 before I was in highschool, and now I'm playing BF2142 in college. That said, it should be clear that I have a strong connection with the battlefield series. I think BF2142 is a worthy addition to the series, even if it was designed using the BF2 engine. Bf2142 has a whole different feeling to it than BF2...better in my opinion. All the unlocks are fun to get and put into practice. All the maps seem to be well constructed and a blast to play on. As with all BF games, there is a bit of a steep learning curve, but once you pick a specialty and get past that (if you have some decent skill), you'll be on top of the pack in no time. A lot of people criticized the game because of the ads that were in the game. Just let me say that there is NO spyware or malware involved in this game....none... The ads consist of real-life ads being put on billboards within the game(which change fairly often), and thats it. They don't bother me, and I really don't even care that they are there. I highly recommend this game...if the player community stays strong like BF2 and bf1942...then 2142 will be tons of fun for several more years down the road.
