Battlefield 2142



Battlefield 2142 is the new game in the Battlefield series by EA Games®. The game takes place about 150 years into the future. This game is based in the southern hemisphere because the northern hemisphere froze over due to global warming. Since only half of the world is habitable now, many people fled to the southern hemisphere which caused everywhere to be extremely populated and crowded. When places get to clustered, people begin to fight.
The two main factions in this game are the European Union and the Asian Collision (Russia). Both of these factions are fighting as they are trying to make their way out of Europe and into the northern part of Africa.
It feels similar to the other Battlefield games but with some slight changes to skins (the way everything looks) and weapons. There are new weapons, vehicles, and squads. The thing that remains the same is the 5 weapon classes you can choose from (assault, sniper, re-supplier, medic, and anti-tank). The main idea about this game is that it is placed in the future so you get to use your imagination to the extreme.


Pros:
1) Servers can hold up to 128 people in one game!
2) The game uses Creative's Sound Blaster X-Fi for audio (the best audio available for games)
3) Low system requirements for PC players (more people will be able to play)
4) Commander Mode (from battlefield 2®) - One person is the main leader for each team.
5) Titan Mode - (first game to finally put in this type of mode) Each team has to destroy their enemy's carrier aircraft before the other team.

Cons:
1) The game is made from old graphics generators which means no new graphics (The game still looks great, but it could be better with the new amount of technology in graphics)
2) It feels too much like Battlefield 2 (the game it is based off of). I felt like there needed to be more of a difference between the game so that Battlefield 2142 would be distinguished as its own game.
