Most reviews for this game are completely assinine
::This game is nothing more then a 50 dollar mod::
Ok first of all, i do not consider this a mod, If you don't want to consider this a new game, then consider an expansion pack, not a mod. A mod just makes a game look difrent, an expansion pack adds something to the game, which this dose.
::The game lags, and load times are longer then battlefield 2::
Well obviously, its a newer game, if you lag, upgrade your PC, if you don't want to do that, shut up.
::The game installs spyware on your machine::
The definition of spyware is that of which follows
Spyware: Any software that covertly gathers user information through the user's Internet connection without his or her knowledge, usually for advertising purposes. Spyware applications are typically bundled as a hidden component of freeware or shareware programs that can be downloaded from the Internet. Once installed, the spyware monitors user activity on the Internet and transmits that information in the background to someone else.
If you had the common sense to read the user agreement (which yes i do read, always) you would relise that what EA installs dose not clasify as spyware. What you install is not harmful to you in anyway, all it dose survey the players of the game, in order to see what kinds of people play, and what kind of marketing strategy should be employed.
::The camera shakes and ruins the game::
Turn it off
::Infantry are usless against Mechs/Vehicles::
EMP Grenades, EMP mines, call for arty strike, an EMP strike, or RUN THE **** AWAY

Ok onto my review. As a player of Battlefield 1942, since the day it was released, I find 2142 an great addition to the Battlefield series. The whole idea of a second ice age is a distant future, is a relief from other games based on the future centered around world war, alien invasion, major corporations controlling the world, ect ect ect . The tech tree unlock system is a good concept, stop complaining about not starting with nade or a defliberator, you can get thorugh the first 3-4 ranks in one game and unlock them. I never play as medic, so i enjoy the fact that i can use my unlocks for items i will actualy use, other then the defliberator. Finally, after multiple attempts, a new game mode has been made, that is playable: Titan mode is probably some of the most fun I have ever had in any battlefield game, ever. My only 2 problems with the game so far, are: The fact that the stats system is messed up (Happened in BF2 as well, so im not to worried)
and I donut think that Spec Ops and Sniper should of been combined into one class. I understand they were both stealth oriented classes, but a snipers roll is to take out enemy from long ranges to thin out concentrations, while the spec-ops main purpose. Oh well, not to big of a deal.
