5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best Future-based Multiplayer First Person Shooters, February 7, 2008

This review is from: Battlefield 2142 Deluxe Edition (Video Game)

This is simply a fantastic game. I've played BF2, but I love BF2142. An extremely active gaming community exists centered around this game. The graphics are not bleeding edge like those in Crysis, but that just means that you'll be able to play it on a reasonably current computer (even laptops). The true squad based team play is the best I've experienced to date. The game is played through four (3) different game types: Conquest Mode, Titan Mode, Assault Lines Mode. The Titan Mode is truly a new experience as not only is there a "capture the flag" (in this case missile silos) type model, but it also incorporates an alternate method for defeating the enemy faction by assaulting and boarding the enemy Titan and destroying from the inside by detonating the Reactor Core.

The gaming community that I've found to be the best is called "Texas...Teamplayers..." This is an extremely active community site that hosts several online games, of which BF2142 is one. The site also host multiple gaming clans. If you decide to purchase this game (and I strongly recommend that you do if online shooters are your thing) check out "Texas...Teamplayers..." at http://www.texasteamplayers.com. As I said, this is probably the best Gaming community site out there when it comes to Battlefield 2142, Battlefield 2, Team Fortress 2, Counter Strike: Source, Arm A, Call of Duty 4, Day of Defeat: Source, and the Battlefield 2: Project Reality modification. All game servers are ranked and many of the games also have practice servers available for trying out new strategies and tactics.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great game but NS activation code is missing!, February 22, 2008

This review is from: Battlefield 2142 Deluxe Edition (Video Game)

I'm playing this game since it came out it's just great, I bought it to play northern strike booster pack since I didn't bought it through EA Link software.

NOTICE: theres a major issue with this release, no one that has bought Battlefield 2142 Deluxe has been able to play northern strike booster pack because activation code is missing. I were in contact with EA Support and forums as well a week ago, it's seems no resolution yet for issue. It's EA fault as usual.

Please be aware that you can play Battlefield 2142 original maps except NS booster pack maps.

EDIT: EA told me that I can activate Northern Strike booster pack by using Battlefield 2142 CD Key which it available on the back of manual, and it's work for me.

Buyer Beware!!!

This deluxe edition claims to have the booster pack Northern Strike as well but either this is not the case or EA has some serious problems here. Just search the internet and you will find numerous threads on this issue with the game deluxe edition.

In short, the game installs fine claiming that you are getting both the orginal version as well as the booster pack. However, once you are done activating and registering your account you can ONLY play the orginal BF2142 maps with no issues. But once you try to access any of the Northern Strike booster pack maps the game acts like you dont have the booster pack installed and directs you to EA link to purchase it even though the deluxe edition should have installed the booster pack already. I have sent lots of emails to EA but all i am getting are useless automated or cut & paste responses. As of now there is no real resolution to this issue. If EA helps me out I will update my post otherwise think before buying.

Other than that an awesome game. The titan mode is the real winner here. I have been involved in some serious fights around and inside the Titan for supermacy. You have 14 maps of intense battles and the game rewards the players who played the most with more effective weapons as well as armor unlocks and a persistent talent system. I will however, seriously recommend all newbies(until you have unlocked some weps and armor too) to stick with armored vehicles and only try to engage one-on-one if you have the advantage or are in a group. Otherwise you will be relentlessly farmed by players who have uber weapons than you for a very long time.
