It had potential...
User Rating: 8.5 | Battlefield 2142 PC
This game had so much promise before its release. BF2 was such a great hit and turned out to be an excellent platform to build upon within the Battlefield franchise. Instead it appears to be a major flop. There was a patch release for 2142 before the discs even hit shelves and EA has already put in a final patch release with many people still playing the game that didn't fix any major problems. To me this shows EA's confidence in their games. Rather than improving upon games that are already great they attempt to rush a title within that genre that will get sales. They have no faith in their game as they have already given up on 2142.
The game is easily playable with very little skill needed. Ranking up was too easy with rewards systems dishing out ridiculous amounts of points to assist in granting unlocks. Even this system was flawed however, not giving unlocks when earned or not even registering until days maybe even weeks later. It will take a little more than a couple new maps to regain interest in this game and this genre.
If you want to play a 2142 type game, return to or purchase BF2. I hope the next one they come out with will actually deliver that "Battlefield Experience" that was easily obtainable in 1942, Vietnam, and BF2.
