Battlefield 2142 (abbreviated BF2142) is a first-person shooter set in the 22nd century, during a new ice age. Battlefield 2142 is currently under development by Digital Illusions CE, and to be published by Electronic Arts. The exact expected release date is currently unknown, but it is expected to be released in October, 2006.[1] An open beta is scheduled for August 2006.[2]

Story

By early 2138, the world's six factions were heavily fortified, ready to battle over the world's remaining land and resources. Expecting an invasion by the Pan Asian Coalition (PAC) into the agriculture-rich plains of Northern Africa, the European Union concentrated its resources along the Mediterranean, ready to assist the Union of African States. A foray by two PAC battalions into Egypt seemed to confirm their suspicions, but the attacks were merely decoys, meant to distract the world from the PAC's primary objective, to destroy the military might of the EU's premiere units still located in Europe.

Following the defeat of the EU army in Europe, the stage was set for the PAC military to force its way into the EU-occupied African mainland. In February 2142, the EU formed 'The Mediterranean Wall', a line of defenses along the North African coast from Morocco to Egypt. Meanwhile, the PAC was drawing up a series of deception plans under the codenames Kupalo, Dazhbog and Perun. These exercises were designed to preoccupy and divide the EU forces in preparation for the PACs primary mission, Operation Motherland, a comprehensive, multi-pronged assault on the African continent.

Rumors

Battlefield 2142 had been rumored to be in development, ever since a February 2006 interview with Dan Blackstone of DICE, the senior producer of the project, in which he mentions:

We’re about to announce something very big, so stay tuned. One other interviewer asked this and I gave him a hint, so it’s only fair that I do the same for you: 3213/3X2. Or said another way: S.R. 4588164.(refactored from [[[2]|Blackstone]])

The S.R. (Square Root) of 4588164 is 2142 (3213÷3×2 equals 2142 as well), hence the rumors. The only proof of existence was the cover story of the PC Gamer magazine and the trailer, published on the very same magazine, until March 21, 2006, when EA/DICE announced that, the next game in the Battlefield series would be Battlefield 2142, in their March 21, 2006 Community Update. [1] To further show proof of the game's existence, at Multiplay i27, a LAN party which EA sponsors regularly, Battlefield 2142 merchandise was given out, along with further details on a release date.

2142 has been officially announced and was playable at E3. Several trailers and previews are available on major gaming websites.

Gameplay

Gameplay in Battlefield 2142 includes the classic conquest mode of play with up to 64 players, but it will additionally introduce a new 32-player game mode called "Titan" mode. The game involves players from opposite teams trying to destroy the other team's MK-1 Titan(refactored from [[[4]|MK-1 Titan]]), while trying to defend their own. Titans can be boarded by infantry via pods launched from vehicles, after the Titan's shields have been worn down. The Titan's shields can be worn down by capturing a missile silo and firing a Bloc-2 ATM missile at the opposite team's Titan, or with small arms and vehicles.(refactored from [[[5]|Bloc-2]]) The goal is for the opposing team to board the Titan, advance through its corridors, and destroy the security checkpoints, which will release the blast doors to the Titan's reactor. They must then destroy the reactor with explosives, which will bring down the Titan.

Battlefield 2142 will additionally see the return of the ranking/points system seen in Battlefield 2.

As an addition, in the August 2006 Newsletter, DICE announced that previous players of the Battlefield 2 will have a chance to reserve their name for Battlefield 2142 for an in-game rank-up. (refactored from [[[5]|rank-up]])

Infantry classes

Battlefield 2142 has four classes per team, down from both Battlefield 2's seven and Battlefield 1942's five. The classes can easily be described as a combination of two of Battlefield 2's classes:

  1. Recon: A combination of Special-Ops and Sniper
  2. Engineer: Anti-Tank and Engineer, can repair assets/vehicles
  3. Assault: Assault and Medic
  4. Support: Traditional support role and can deploy auto defense turrets

EA has confirmed that customization of weapons in classes will be present, boasting "more than 1500 combos"(refactored from [[[6]|customize]]).

Vehicles

Mutual

  • Assault pods: Players can eject from APC's, the MK-1 Titan, or gunship aircraft inside of a pod to board an MK-1 Titan or quickly cross long distances.

Pan Asian Coalition

  • Type 32 Nekomata: (Main Battle Tank): Utilizing state-of-the-art, air-assisted levitation technology, the Type 32 Nekomata hover tank is the very latest in armored combat, boasting unmatched mobility across almost any topography. Similar to the A-8 Tiger, the Nekomata incorporates NxRA technology into its composite armor base and uses an Active Defense System to ward off high impact, airborne weapon attacks. It also matches the A-8 attack capabilities with a driver-controlled cannon and second position repeater.
  • BTR-4 Romanov:(APC): Almost identical to the X-81 Groundhog, the BTR-4 Romanov provides a highly secure means for infantry to penetrate hotly-contested battle zones. Utilizing a ready-launch assault pod system in some variants, the Romanov is very effective as a Titan assault vehicle, propelling infantry directly into close-range strike positions. The driver's side is fitted with a gas-actuated, medium caliber automatic, as well as a vehicle-disabling EMP grenade launcher. The gunner mans a medium-range, auto mortar.
  • UAZ-8 Ocelot:(Fast Attack Vehicle): In 2032, the PAC developed the UAZ-8 Ocelot FAV based on a stolen Bandit prototype, creating an equally dexterous, high-speed, off-road-capable transport medium. Substituting a boron carbide-filled resin aggregate armor system for the Bandit's ceramic-based matrix, the UAZ-8 Ocelot trades a negligible decrease in protection in exchange for an increase of five miles-an-hour maximum speed. Similar to its FAV contemporary, the UAZ-8 Ocelot also provides short-duration speed boosts through a hypochlorite-based, fuel-oxidization injector.
  • T-39 Bogatyr:(Mech): When the widespread climatic changes severely altered the Earth's landscape, the PAC military developed an assault vehicle to handle these new diverse conditions by employing a more versatile anthropoid structure. Later duplicated by the EU forces in the form of the L5 Riesig, the PAC T1 Battlewalker changed the face of warfare forever. The T39 Bogatyr is the most recent adaptation, shielded with full-coated, high-impact armor and an embedded ADS and supplied with an assortment of attack options, counting radar-guided, high-damage impulse rockets and a pair of heavy-duty auto-cannons.
  • BTR-20 Yastreb:(Armored air transport): Similar to its EU counterpart, the UD-12 Shepherd, the BTR-20 Yastreb armored air transport is a slow-moving, easily visible target best limited to personnel pick-up and delivery. In contrast to the Shepherd, the PAC Type 20 substitutes Self-Limiting Explosive Reactive Armor (SLERA) for the UD-12's electrically charged scheme and complements the arrangement with an alternative Triplex synthetic material. Like the EU air transport aerodyne, the Yastreb is also vulnerable to attack with only two personnel-scaled assault weapons at the passengers disposal.
  • Type 4 Doragon:(Gunship): Appropriately named Doragon, meaning Dragon, the Type 4 Air Mobile Multipurpose Platform (AMP), like it's EU equivalent, provides unparalleled usability and firepower in any theater. With a range of armaments, an active protective system, and a high-tech, 'anticipatory' flight control system, the Doragon is a highly mobile, dynamically potent, multi-situational assault medium. The Type 4 arsenal includes a semi-dumbfire missile cluster, employed exclusively against close-range, heat-traceable targets.

European Union

  • A-8 Tiger:(Main Battle Tank): The A-8 Tiger is the latest version of the A-series heavy tank division, adding a Non-Explosive Reactive Armor (NxRA) package to its standard composite construction. An additional Active Defense System enables the Tiger to withstand heavy artillery and missile attacks. Increased engine torque and power-to-weight ratio enable the track-based Tiger additional mobility and improved speed across rugged terrain. The Tiger is equipped with a driver-controlled main cannon and a rapid-fire, high caliber repeater at the second position, providing robust firepower against ground-based infantry and armored vehicle targets.
  • AVM-2 Groundhog:(APC): The AMV-2 Groundhog is a specialty personnel carrier, used to deliver infantry into escalated conflict areas. This near impenetrable transport is fortified by a multifaceted armor arrangement, including an amalgamated polymer lattice under five layers of alternating steel and ceramic plates, coated with extreme temperature resilient Kevlar. The driver is armed with an EMP launcher to disable enemy vehicles long enough to escape. Some variants of the AMV-2 are outfitted with ejecting assault pods, which soldiers can use to mobilize against airborne targets.
  • MK-15 Bandit:(Fast Attack Vehicle): Quick and agile, the three-occupant, MK-15 Bandit is a high-performance, four-wheel-drive FAV used primarily as a multi-terrain, front line, battle transport. Armored only with lightweight ceramic elements and Triplex plates, the latest aramid fire-resistant synthetic fiber, the Bandit sacrifices protection for speed, boasting a pulsed plasma thruster (PPT), providing short bursts of unrivaled acceleration. The Bandit is armed with a single, medium-caliber, anti-infantry repeater.
  • L5 RIESIG:(Mech): What the L5 Riesig Battlewalker loses in forward velocity, it makes up for ten-fold in offensive potency and scope. The bipedal configuration of this next generation assault unit enables it to traverse almost all terrains while its elevated vantage point, providing long distance viewing and multi-directional targeting, gives it a significant advantage over low height, horizontally-based agents. Manned by two occupants, the Battlewalker is outfitted with an array of weaponry, including two rapid-fire cannons and a dual-arena, infrared homing missile system. The Battlewalker armor is multi-layered, combining steel and reinforced plastic laminates with kinetic energy and heat absorbing materials. An automatic Active Defense System assists in resisting off air and ground fired rocket attacks.
  • UD-12 Shepherd:(Armored air transport): The UD-12 Shepherd was developed with a single purpose, to convey military personnel into the combat arena, dropping soldiers via spherical, quick-drop escape pods. Slow moving, but direction flexible, the Shepherd draws on a marriage of multi-source jet propulsion and hover technology to travel long distances at a mid-level altitude. The UD-12 is shelled in composite, electrically charged armor lined with Nomex fiber and relies on two medium-caliber, bipod mounted automatics to repel assailants.
  • UD-6 Talon:(Gunship): Quite simply, the UD-6 Talon gunship was built to kill. Nimble and deadly, this ultramodern, two-person, VTOL aircraft combines a multipurpose arsenal with a uniquely flexible flight profile, allowing the Talon to strike both air and ground targets with unparalleled force and accuracy. The Talon’s munitions include a gunner-controlled pneumatically charged, high velocity autoblaster and vectored thrust, high-impulse thermobaric missile launcher and a pilot-controlled rocket fire system. The dual-layered composite buffer system, with a depleted uranium mesh insert, is durable enough to withstand heavy fire without hindering the gunship’s maneuverability through excessive weight or rigidity.

Weapons & Utilities

Mutual

  • BJ-2 Combat Knife: The weapon of choice for the cunning soldier looking to humiliate his prey. Kills using the knife will yield the fallen soldier's dog tags as a trophy. Carried by all soldiers.
  • SLS Beacon: The SLSB (Squad Leader Spawn Beacon) allows players to quickly deploy at the beacon's current location via drop-pod. The training for proper use of the device is only available for Squad Leaders.
  • A-12 Enforcer sentry gun: The automated A12 Enforcer utilizes a combination of infrared and optical tracking systems to spot and fire at enemies within a medium-range peripheral. Deployed by Support soldiers.
  • MHUB-21: Within its medical equipment and supply package, the MHUB-21 Medical Hub includes a nitrate cauteriser, naproxin dosages, providone iodine wipes, benzalkonium chloride, a bulb syringe, trauma shears, petroleum gauze, occlusive dressings and adhesive bandages. Carried by Assault soldiers
  • AHUB-31: The AHUB-31 Ammo Hub completely refills both soldier and vehicle ammunition stores. Carried by Support soldiers.
  • HOFF-3000: (Welder): The HOFF-3000 is a high-tech Repair Tool equipped with computer analysis and a nano-torch that allows the Engineer to quickly and easily repair all vehicles on the battlefield.

Drones

High-tech robots with hover capabilities, usable by squad leaders only.

  • RD-4 DTUS: The RD-4 DTUS is a long-range reconnaissance drone used to identify the location and movement of enemy forces. Has an effect similar to reconnaissance UAVs, but with a much smaller range.
  • SD-8 ACCIPITER: The SD-8 Accipiter is a flying Sentry Drone with assault capabilities, armed with an optical tracker and multi-barrel rotating cannons. Targets are acquired by the squad's NetBat (Network Battlefield) System, allowing all members of the squad to utilize the drone. The training for proper use of the device is only available for Squad Leaders.

Pan Asian Coalition

  • Krylov FA-37 (Assault Rifle): Employed by frontline infantry in a similar capacity as the EU SCAR 11, the Krylov FA-37 fires a comparable caseless armor-piercing round with considerably more recoil due to its lighter weight, hollow graphite stock. The PAC assault rifle is equally effective in winter environments, utilizing a built-in thermal dispenser. Appreciably damaging, but less accurate when fired fully automatic, the Krylov FA-37 is often operated in single-shot mode, precision enhanced via a fixed-position optical sight.
  • Shuko K-80 LMG (Light Machine Gun): Like its EU counterpart, the Bianchi FA-6, the PAC Shuko K-80 Light Machine Gun provides invaluable support to assault operations through unrelenting suppressive fire. Shooting smaller, nitrocellulose-molded, caseless ammunition, the Shuko K-80 boasts higher clip capacity, resulting in less frequent reloading, albeit at the expensive of per round stopping power. Like the Bianchi FA-6, the Shuko K-80 is more precise when stabilized on its protracted bipod.
  • Park 52 (Sniper Rifle): Firing a custom-designed, 14mm flechette round, the Park 52 Sniper Rifle provides an equivalent level of force and precision as the EU Morretti SR4 without the cumbersome design factors. Fabricated using the latest metallurgic technologies, the lightweight Park 52 counters accuracy-hampering movement through shock-resistant, plastic steel barrel bedding. A high-magnification scope allows the sniper a long-range visual field, which can be upgraded through the DysTek Hi-Scope X4.
  • Sudnik VP (Anti-tank rifle): The Sudnik VP Anti-Vehicle weapon fires a single optically guided missile with a shaped charge capable of penetrating over two feet of steel plate. The multiple stages of the shaped charge allow the Sudnik to by pass traditional reactive armors without sacrificing the overall effectiveness of the weapon system.
  • Malkov RK-11 SMG (Submachine Gun): Slightly lighter than the EU Turcotte Rapidand due to its reinforced polymer stock the Malkov RK-11 SMG (Sub Machine Gun) is equally effective in confined environments, using a high firing rate to ensure multiple impact points. Like its EU counterpart, the Malkov RK-11 suffers a great loss of stopping power at long range.
  • Takao T20 Pistol: The PAC's primary sidearm, while accurate over short range, it should only be considered a last resort in today's confrontation.

European Union

  • Morreti SR4 (Sniper Rifle): The Morretti SR4 (Sniper Rifle 4) is a next generation sniping medium utilizing a semiautomatic configuration, high calibre round and telescopic sight to effectively assail medium and long-range targets. The rifle is fitted with a carbonized metal barrel to decrease thermal distortion, ensuring maximum accuracy, although the high caliber generates significant recoil, requiring a non-repetitive, one shot/one kill approach.
  • Binachi FA-6 LMG (Light Machine Gun): The Bianchi FA-6 Light Machine Gun is remarkably effective as a provider of suppressive fire given its all-condition resilience and lengthy firing duration. Unlike its 21st century precursors, with its heat-resistant metal alloy components and computer-driven thermal transfer system, the Bianchi FA-6 requires neither mid-battle barrel changes nor maintenance, allowing for rapid, uninterrupted fire. With a retractable bipod, the Bianchi FA-6 is most accurate when fired from the prone position.
  • SCAR 11 AR (Assault Rifle): The combined effort of multiple US and European arms manufacturers, the SCAR 11 has become the standard issue Assault Rifle due to its robust firepower and ability to perform in cold weather conditions. The SCAR 11 maintains a high rate of fire even in arctic climates, using an integrated heat distributor to prevent apparatus freezing. Electronically-fired, each tungsten-core round boasts an impact velocity of over 800 m/s, penetrating even the latest body armor technologies.
  • Mitchell AV-18 (Anti-tank rifle): The Mitchell AV-18 Anti-Vehicle weapon is able to perforate even the most resilient cladding and cause extensive damage. This modern-day Anti-Vehicle weapon was developed in direct response to mid-century advances in vehicle armor design. Made from polyminium, a new titanium-based amalgam, the Mitchell AV-18 body is ultralight, allowing a greater portion of its travel weight to be dedicated to ammunition. Replacing standard HEAT (high explosive anti-tank) rockets with heavier, more formidable, superplastic, multi-warhead explosives, the Mitchell AV-18 is able to perforate even the most resilient cladding and cause extensive damage.
  • Turcotte Rapid SMG: (Submachine Gun): Originally used in law enforcement and adopted by military forces as a personal defense weapon the high-tech Turcotte Rapid SMG (Sub Machine Gun) combines the muzzle velocity of a standard assault rifle, the automatic capability of a machine gun and the portability of a pistol. Loaded with small caliber, armor-piercing rounds, the Turcotte Rapid, lacks accuracy, and stopping power at long range, but its high rate of fire makes it an effective close combat weapon.
  • P33 Periera Pistol: The EU's primary sidearm, while accurate over short range, it should only be considered a last resort in today's confrontation.


Unlockable Weapons and Utilities

Assault Unlocks
  • AED-6 Defibrillator: The portable AED-6 (Automated External Defibrillator) resuscitates casualties using an embedded, rhythm-tracking microprocessor to determine ventricular fibrillation or tachycardia and emit, via wet-gel secretion paddles, appropriately leveled, biphasic charges.
  • SMK-1 Grenade: Impact detonated, the SG-34 Smoke Grenade can be used as a screening, diversionary, signaling, or offensive device, dispersing a cloud of dense potassium chlorate-based smoke.
  • Baur H-AR: (Assault Rifle): The Baur H-AR (Heavy Assault Rifle) is a bulked-up edition of the SCAR 11, firing high-caliber, tungsten-core ammunition for maximum damage potential. Manufactured with HM-3 composite metals, the weighty, but powerful Baur H-AR is found most often in front line conflict.
  • Voss L-AR: (Assault Rifle): Ergonomically designed with a fiber-reinforced polymer shell, the Voss L-AR (Light Assault Rifle) is a close cousin of the Krylov FA-37, sacrificing incapacitation capabilities for increased portability and firing longevity. Used primarily in supportive, high movement scenarios, the Voss L-AR uses lower calibre ammunition allowing for higher volume cartridges, enabling prolonged suppressive assault.
  • PK-74 AR-Rocket: The PK-74 AR-Rocket is fabricated from a fiberglass-zinc amalgam and filled with a highly explosive synthetic fuel compound. When attached to the soldier's standard Assault Rifle it results in a compact and lightweight rifle rocket, ideal for a portable launcher. The Universal Ammunition, shared with the Herzog Shotgun, features variable fusing allowing for both impact and airburst detonations.
  • Herzog AR-Shotgun: Mounted in an under barrel configuration, the 20-gauge Herzog Shotgun adds substantial short range stopping power to any assault rifle's standard repertoire. The Herzog utilizes the same Universal Ammo as the PK-74 AR-Rocket, allowing for intercompatibility between the two weapons.
  • Advanced Med Kit: An upgraded version of the standard issue Medical Hub, the Advanced Med Hub includes an additional supply of antibiotics, health revivers and muscle stimulants including soloxil, dyphatine and quivinol, expediting a medic's health provision capabilities.
Recon Unlocks
  • RDX Demopak: Similar to its predecessor, C4, RDX DemoPak is a remotely detonated, plastic-bonded, chemical explosive. The RDX is infused with the highly stable high explosive chemical compound, PNC (polyethyl nitrate cyclobutane), increasing its optimum effective explosive output.
  • Lambert Carbine: Originally designed for early century Special Operations Forces, the modernized Lambert Carbine remains the weapon of choice for urban warfare, given its maneuverability-enhancing compact design and rapid rate of fire. What the Lambert Carbine lacks in stopping power, it makes up for tenfold in usability. Made from SB-7, the latest polyimide matrix material, the rugged yet lightweight Lambert Carbine produces minimal recoil ensuring accurate burst suppression. The double magazine feeding system and compressed, low calibre ammunition enables unmatched fire volume.
  • APM: (Anti-Personal Mine): The APM (Anti Personal Mine) is a directional fragmentation mine generating a fan-shaped explosion pattern. The mine is highly lethal to infantry who approach its front at speed, though it can be defused or circumvented by careful soldiers.
  • IT-33 Optical Active Camoflage: Mimicking ambient light and background texture patterns through a microprocessor-controlled, fiber-optic, DLD (dynamic liquid display) fabric, the IT-33 Active Camouflage System enables a soldier to reduce his visibility by up to 90%.
  • Scope Stabilizer: The scope stabilizer will help eliminate muzzle drift on the sniper rifles.
Engineer Unlocks
  • Koenig H-AVR: (Heavy Anti-Vehicle Rifle): Unlike its siblings, the Mitchell AV-18 and Sudnik VP, the Koenig H-AVR (Heavy Anti Vehicle Rifle) lacks any guidance package, instead relying on the high speed of its projectile to eliminate targets. With an embedded, microprocessor-driven, anti-recoil system and steel alloy-composite structure, the Koenig H-AVR launches armor-piercing fin stabilized projectiles that have proven far more effective armored targets than traditional warheads, especially against the weaker rear armor of tanks.
  • PDS-1: The microprocessor-based PDS-1 detects vehicles within the vicinity using a Sonar tracking system that distinguishes sub-elevation and atmospheric reverberations. Both type and position of the vehicles in range of the device are determined and displayed through the NetBat for all squad members.
  • II-29 Motion Mine: The II-29 Motion Mine uses an advanced TDD (Target Detection Device) to actively track and seek enemy vehicles by detecting their electronic and infrared signatures. The II-29's explosive yield is lower than traditional mines, as a significant portion of the mine's housing is dedicated to the TDD.
  • II-14 EMP Mine: The larger, more powerful, stationary cousin of the EMP grenade, the II-14 EMP Mine utilizes the same electromagnetic pulse methodology to fully immobilize nearby machinery in almost all situations.
  • Mitchell SAAW 86: The Mitchell AV-18 Anti-Vehicle weapon is able to perforate even the most resilient cladding and cause extensive damage. This modern-day Anti-Vehicle weapon was developed in direct response to mid-century advances in vehicle armor design. Made from polyminium, a new titanium-based amalgam, the Mitchell AV-18 body is ultralight, allowing a greater portion of its travel weight to be dedicated to ammunition. Replacing standard HEAT (high explosive anti-tank) rockets with heavier, more formidable, superplastic, multi-warhead explosives, the Mitchell AV-18 is able to perforate even the most resilient cladding and cause extensive damage.
Support Unlocks
  • V5 EMP Grenade: Unlike a standard grenade, which generates physically damaging fragmentation, the V5 EMP Grenade releases an electromagnetic wave that creates a short-circuit effect, temporarily slowing or disabling nearby vehicles and electronic devices.
  • Clark 15B Shotgun: Built with kylonite, an advanced thermoplastic shell material, and a polymer drum magazine, the gas-operated Clark 15B Combat Shotgun fires the latest fin-stabilized flechette Frag-15 rounds, which produce a circular damage pattern, most effective against close-range, light armored infantry.
  • Ganz HMG: (Heavy Machine Gun): Even more dependable than the Bianchi LMG and more relentless than the Shuko LMG, the Ganz HMG (Heavy Machinegun) is the crowning achievement in light machine gun design. Engineered from super light polymer matter, upgraded with an ultramodern onboard stabilization and heat reduction system, and fitted with an electronic double-magazine feeder, the Ganz HMG is unmatched in power, quality, and consistency of fire.
  • IPS Shield: Able to withstand short durations of direct, small and medium caliber fire, the IPS (Infantry Protection Shield) is a personnel-scaled, ion-charged shield employed by infantry for temporary individual protection. The system is not designed to withstand vehicle-mounted munitions.
