Instead of capturing flags and depleting the enemy's resources, the sole objective is the destruction of each other's titans - massive floating fortresses protected by shields. We heartily applaud this - the experience of working in a unit that knows what it's doing in BF2 is among the very best gaming experiences we've ever had, whereas the chaos of being on a server where no-one communicates is intensely frustrating.Īnother big innovation is the Titan game mode. BF2142 has taken steps to make it even more desirable to join a squad and play as a team through squad-based bonuses and points for being helpful. The main problem we had with BF2 was the proliferation of uncooperative teammates. There are now four kits to play as (Assault, Engineer, Recon and Supply) instead of BF2's seven, but you can customise those kits with unlocked equipment before each battle. The roleplaying element of BF2, whereby you earn points from killing the enemy and helping your team, and those points unlock new weapons, has been massively expanded. Already the anti-EA brigade has called it a glorified mod.

Only a year after the massively successful BF2 was released, there are doubts over whether this is really a full-blown sequel. Crave has finally managed to have a good old bash on the sequel to our favourite PC game ever, Battlefield 2 - Battlefield 2142 is, as the title suggests, set in the future, and promises much more than just a change of graphics.
