Game preview of Battlefield 2142

If you're a fan of the very popular BF series, you definitely will want to check out this preview of Battlefield 2142. Normally, game previews don't interest me that much because it's typically all hype. With games of this nature, crafted specifically for multiplayer, they tend to be a bit better. Reading the article does give a good idea of what we can expect. The idea of a ranking system determining your level of privileges in the game as with Battlefield 2 will make a return, including the concept of unlocking more of the game as you progress. The selection of “kits” is low, but the unlockable content is greater, making for a more customizable character.

Other features in 2142 will be enhancements upon BF2. It's moving away from the typical scenes we see in BF2 however, and looks like it will be focusing more on squad play. It's definitely worth reading if you are interested in the series. Let's all hope DICE doesn't disappoint!

  1. This is totally unbelieveable. Patch 1.3 crashes servers and people loose connection to the server all the time, and DICE keeps saying yet they are working on a new patch to stop this. Yet they seem the have the time to release a 2142 beta. Fix the game I paid 100 dollars for first! (BF2+SF+AF+EF) I have not be able to play a complete a game for about 3 months now!
  2. I am struggling to re-install BF2 right now, and I agree. Its way to picky.
  3. atk spade has the same problem I do
