Still has the same flaws as 2142. Updating graphics is good and all, but changing the whole format of the game still, as they did with BF2, to make it totally different from 1942, still is somewhat annoying. 1942 still incorporates the most fun, best game play, without the graphics we all crave. I wouldn't mind them coming out with a DX10 1942! :-) Anyways, The Booster Pack does add a new dimension to the game, most importantly in the new maps themselves. All of the original 2142 maps give so many entry points it's not even funny, where Northern Strike forces the Assaulting team to bring it hardcore through 1 to maybe 3 entry points, and not run around invisible like a wuss and steal a flag!! :-P Definitely get it if you can drop $10 and need or want some extra unlocks. None of the added unlocks really seem that great, but they have their place in the game. Hopefully the next expansion will be as large as Special Forces was for BF2.
