[edit] Overview
The year is 2142, and the dawn of a new Ice age has thrown the world into a panic. The math is simple and brutal: The soil not covered by ice can only feed a fraction of the Earth's population. Some will live, most will die. In Battlefield 2142, players will choose to fight for one of two military superpowers in an epic battle for survival, the American-European Alliance, or the newly formed Pan Asian Coalition1. [1]
[edit] New features
- Active Camoflage ground personel
- Electromagnetic pulse grenades
- Aircraft, presumably VTOL craft, visually not unlike Command & Conquer's Orca or Halo series' Pelican. Includes weapon-fitted aircraft and transport aircraft. (at this time, seen in the Offical Trailer)
- Levitating weapons platform, it is currently unknown if this object is player-controlled or automated. The equipped weapons appear to be both missile-based and kenetic projectile-based (at this time, seen in the Offical Trailer and development sceenshots)
[edit] Maps

[edit] Weapons
Battlefield 2142 uses a number of different real-world weapons, however, most are 'futuristic' and their technical aspects differ greatly to their present-day counterparts
Pan Asian Coalition Weapons:
- NK-96 (Assault Rifle): The NK-96 is hailed as an accurate frontline infantry weapon, especially in single-shot mode. When fired fully automatic, the weapon suffers from a significant level of recoil due to its light weight. A built-in optical sight and a high rate of fire have made this rifle a favorite for PAC troops.
- NK-42 (Light Machine Gun): Using the same polymers and weight-saving devices as the NK-96 allows the NK-42 to carry more bullets per clip than its EU counterpart, at the cost of lower stopping power. While capable of sustained suppressive fire, the NK-42 incorporates safety measures to prevent high heat from igniting its ammo box.
- NK 1000 Type 2 (Sniper Rifle): The combination of new crystal alloys and smart AI-IFF systems makes for the highly effective sniping platform. Using a laser ignition, the crystal dart fired from the Type 2 provides the same level of accuracy as the NK-980, without the jarring recoil. The tradeoff is that it packs less punch.
European Union Weapons:
- FL-PSG (Sniper Rifle): The FL-PSG fires a jouronium dart in a semi-automatic configuration. While highly accurate and very powerful, the FL-PSG suffers from high recoil, which favors experienced snipers. An advanced stabilization system incorporated into the system allows for snipers to overcome muzzle drift.
- Gage 2100 (Light Machine Gun): The Gage 2100 greatly increases the efficiency of any strikers on the battlefield. Micro-jouronium alloy in the primary components of the Gage 2100 eliminates the need to change barrels as with the 21st-century machineguns. However, its computer system will interrupt firing if heat becomes an issue.
- M-714-38.PK (Assault Rifle): Not much is known about this rifle, it has only been seen in screen shots appearing in PC gamer. However, it appears to be weilded by EU troops in frontline scenerios.
[edit] Vehicles
{This will probably require a seperate article to cover all of the detail on each vehcile, but for now, this will do}
EU:
- Ground Units
- AirUnits
-
- VTOL Attack Aircraft
- VTOL Transport
- Levitating weapons platform
-
PAC:
- Ground Units
- AirUnits
-
- VTOL Attack Aircraft
- VTOL Transport
- Levitating weapons platform
-
[edit] System requirements
Presumably almost the same as for BF:2 based on the fact that they are built on the same engine.

{I assume mod's will start popping up pretty soon for this, its only a matter of time...}
