Pretty good game. Doesn't quite live up to BF2 though. An EA, TRY AND GET IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME!

User Rating: 8 | Battlefield 2142 PC
So, after playing BF2 for more than 300 hours, I was totally psyched about the sequel to it. Needless to say, i got this game the day it came out. But guess what? I couldn't play it that day, because EA had already released a patch that had to be downloaded to fix problems that SHOULD have been fixed before the release. Major turn off.

Gameplay: This game had most of the same controls and feel that BF2 had. They did however change up all of the vehicles to suit the "futuristic" tense of the game, and boy did they screw up. The helicopters,,,, became these impossible to manuever little hovercraft things that were just a sad excuse for an air vehicle. And the oh-so-loved J-10 and F-16 fighter jets that everyone craved to fly in BF2, gone. And nothing to replace them. As for the tanks, the hovertank addition was pretty nice and so was the 2 person mech. Have to give it to them there. Probably the best part about this BF was the cloaking device. Totally cool for those who love to sneak and kill with knives possibly. The length of this game was also dramatically decreased to about 100 hours. I pretty much got all the ribbons and awards and ranks, and went back to playing BF2 :-D

Overall, pretty good game. Not quite Battlefield 2. So maybe EA will see what people loved from BF2, and what they hated from BF2142, and make the perfect game next.
