The Future of War
So what are you waiting for? Gather your gear! Before
stepping out onto the battle eld, take a few minutes to
read over the next few sections. Even if you’re a grizzled
Battle eld veteran, the following information is a good
refresher course. Who knows? It might even save your life.
In 2106, the world froze. After a hundred years of debate
and dissension, the world’s governments were forced to
face the reality of global warming—the next Ice Age had
arrived.
As snow and storms swept down from the north, living
space and resources were swallowed by the encroaching
ice and a frantic battle for survival began across the globe.
Small-scale con icts bloomed into major confrontations, as
desperate nations united to form new superpowers—the
European-led EU forces and Russo-Asian PAC army. With
the formation of these coalitions came the consolidation
of brains and resources needed to develop deadly new
battlefront technologies: the Titans, vast dreadnoughts
with the colossal destructive power to dominate the skies,
and lethal, armored battle walkers, designed to outpace
and outgun infantry.
Now, in the year 2142, these advances have forever
changed the face of war—but its purpose remains the
same: absolute destruction of the enemy.
What’s New?
Welcome to Battle eld 2142 . With glaciers encroaching
on much of Asia and Europe, the EU and PAC face off in
epic battles, attempting to gain a foothold on the earth’s
remaining inhabitable land. But don’t let the futuristic
setting and new technologies intimidate you. The game
plays much like its predecessors, allowing veterans from
Wake Island, Khe Sahn, or Karkand to feel at home.
While the addictive Battle eld gameplay has remained
untouched, there are many new features that affect tactics
and strategy. Here are a few of the new additions you
should familiarize yourself with before lacing up your boots:
Titan Mode: Destroy the enemy’s Titan before it destroys yours! Titan mode is a new, fast-
paced game mode that takes teamwork to a whole new level.
Battle Walkers: These massive mechanized walkers chew up infantry and armor at close
range, but they’re far from invincible. Exploit their weaknesses to blast them off the
battle eld.
EMP Weapons: Some infantry and vehicles are now equipped with EMP munitions that
temporarily disable vehicles and scramble soldiers‘ HUDs. Use these weapons to even the
odds when facing superior armor and repower.
Unlocks & Kit Customization: There are now a total of 40 unlocks! These are earned through
promotions and allow players to customize their kits with new weapons and equipment,
like the A12 Enforcer sentry gun or IT-33 optical camou age.
Buddy List: Find which servers your friends are playing on and join them or send them
messages.
BFHQ
When you rst start the
game, you’re prompted
to create or retrieve an
EA account. If you already
have an EA account,
simply enter the account
name and password in
the appropriate elds on
the rst screen to login.
Otherwise, click “Create
New Account.” Once you
have logged into your EA account, you can create a soldier name
by clicking “Create New Solider” on the Your Soldiers menu.
All solider names must be unique, so you can’t choose a name
already in use by another player. However, you can have multiple
soldiers per EA account, requiring only one login to select from
your list of soldiers. New to Battle eld 2142 is the “Clan Tag”
option at the top of the soldier menu. If you’re in a clan, simply
type your clan tag (a maximum of eight characters) into this eld
and the tag will appear in front of your solider name in the game.
This eld can be changed whenever selecting a soldier, making
it easy to edit or update clan af liations for your various soldier
pro les. Each soldier pro le tracks of all of your game play stats.
These stats determine your rank as well as your eligibility for any
rewards or kit unlocks when playing on ranked servers.
To take a look at your stats, click the BFHQ button in the
main menu. The rst section is Your Stats . Here you can
get the basics, such as your career points, score, and time
played, all shown in line graph. For more detailed information,
click on the Details tab. The Details screen lists practically
everything you’ve ever done in every online game you’ve played
on ranked servers. Included are statistics on your most-played
kits, vehicles, weapons, maps, and nationalities—it even logs,
down to the second, how long you’ve played each! All your
teamwork and combat stats are listed here, too.
The Unlocks screen is where you can browse player
abilities, unlockable equipment for each kit, and squad leader
unlocks. You can also select unlocks here by clicking a piece
of equipment and pressing the Choose Unlock button in the
bottom-left corner of the screen. But make your selection
carefully. Unlocks are awarded with promotions, and they’re
not easily achieved after the rst few ranks.
Next is the Awards screen, showing medals, badges,
ribbons, and pins. In addition to seeing which awards you’ve
earned, you can browse items you haven’t earned yet. Click
