Battlefield 2142: Northern Strike Announced (Officially)  by Craig D at 16:14

PC
EA and DICE have now officially announced the first BF2142 booster pack, Battlefield 2142: Northern Strike that will hopefully be deployed in March.

There's a few more screenshots and a trailer to be seen if Battlefield is your thing.

Battlefield 2142: Northern Strike drops gamers deep into a desperate conflict for control of Earth’s last scraps of inhabitable land following the onset of a cataclysmic new ice age. The Pan-Asian Coalition (PAC) has secretly moved into mainland Europe, using abandoned urban areas to establish new strongholds in a last-ditch push for superiority. The European Union must quickly mobilize north to dislodge PAC forces from a series of urban strongholds and regain the upper hand.

Battlefield 2142: Northern Strike features three new maps, including the infamous WWII battle scene at the Bridge at Remagen, an Alpine Titan docking harbour in Port Bavaria and a claustrophobic showdown in the Liberation of Leipzig. The booster pack also features new vehicles including the EU’s heavily armed IFV Goliath and the PAC’s hovering light IFV Hachimoto in addition to new unlocks, new badges and ribbons, new gameplay and more.
"Our number one goal with Battlefield 2142: Northern Strike was to give fans more of the close-quarters combat, increased persistence and new toys they’ve been asking for," said Kristoffer Bergqvist, the booster pack’s producer. "We’ve also added gameplay enhancements including two brand new vehicle types in an asymmetrical set-up. Furthermore, we’re introducing the Titan game mode available into an urban setting and will debut the intensified Conquest Assault Lines game mode."

as I said before, they didn't just nick vehicles from Ut 2004. ALL the vehicles in 2142 look exactly like the ones from Planetside which has been out years.. not just copies of ideas, like pretty much exact models.

projectreality is by far the best mod since Desert Combat. Well worth checking out and makes normal BF2 seem kinda plain and boring afterwards.
