One of the best Future-based Multiplayer First Person Shooters

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.

Great game but NS activation code is missing!

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.

Better than BF2 in most ways

I bought this game as something new to do versus BF2 and BF2: Special Forces. I've had the game for about two months now and it's pretty fun. The maps which are mainly infantry only are a bit interesting. They're harder than BF2 because you don't get quite as much nade spamming but at the same time, the landscape and terrain make for better fire fights. Takes some getting used to.

I personally prefer the Titan mode, myself. That's where this game really comes alive. Normal Assault mode (described above) is pretty much just BF2 but with futuristic weapons and Infantry Only (for the most part). But Titan mode provides the most action and ... creativity. You can move the Titan around the map to gain the most strategic point for the main guns that players can control to attack and defend missile silos (ie. Flags) and being able to launch in a pod from the Titan and land directly in the middle of the battle makes for some interesting tactics.

Only real con that I can think of is that in Titan mode, if you get a half decent squad inside the enemy Titan to play defense, it can be really boring. Just keep getting blown up and killed in many cheap ways. Usually much better to just be a ground pounder or a pilot and attack and capture silos.
