The math is simple and brutal: Some will live, most will die. In Battlefield 2142, players choose to fight for one of two military superpowers in an epic battle for survival. Armed with a devastating arsenal of hi-tech weaponry, including assault rifles, cloaking devices, EMP grenades and sentry guns, players can level the playing field against massive Battle Walkers that control the ground and futuristic aircraft the rule the skies.

Massive online battles for up to 64 players drop gamers on the front lines as part of a formal squad or behind the scenes in Commander Mode to direct the strategic assaults of their team-mates. Battlefield 2142 also introduces an all-new game type for the first time in franchise history: "Titan" mode, which challenges gamers to control the battlefield and destroy their opponent's Titan - a massive flying warship - while defending their own. Battlefield 2142 is developed by Digital Illusions/DICE Sweden and is slated to ship for PC in Fall 2006.

For more details, check out the press release (PDF). Thanks to BF2142.se for the news.

Previously unknown...

Battle for Coral Sea anyone?

Incidentally I see BFN bot has some spangly new shoes.

mrhahn is taking all of BFN Bots credit! That fat bastard.

Also this game mode is basically the same as coral sea. Oh, and a direct copy of the one in Galactic Conquest.

BFN Bot felt the wrath of my backhand. Bitch stepped out.

Geez, EA is going downhill fast... Like a 270* downhill.

Recycling BF1942 modes and calling it new? That just pisses me off.
