No because there will be servers that support the old BF2142

But if you have trouble finding a server then its a yes.

 No because in 17days 2hours 56mins 20secs everybody will start playing the original bf2142 again. I played both bf2 and bf2142. Boosterpacks dont last long. Expansions last alot longer if they let you use unlocks against people without expansion. Eventually, though, everybody plays the original again.

As for finding servers that support the old BF2142....only a few still exclusively run it.  EA released a patch so BF2142'ers and NS'ers can play on the same server (assuming its an original BF2142 map).  Most every server uses it.  You can even try out the NS unlocks through the squad unlock system and through taking kits from fallen NS'ers.

It's only $10 and worth buying. How long people keep playing remains to be seen but I think assault lines and the goliath make for some interesting gameplay and the new maps are pretty good.
