The year is 2142 and the dawn of a new ice age has thrown the world into a panic. The soil not covered by ice can only feed a fraction of the Earth's population. The maths is simple and brutal: some will live, most will die. In Battlefield 2142, players choose to fight for one of two military superpowers - the European Union or the newly formed Pan Asian Coalition - in an epic battle for survival.
About First Strike with 4 comments by TALON_UK on Apr 28th, 2012
Greetings Troopers!
Hi there, I'm FSDev Twigs, and I’ve been asked to give you all a little bit of an update regarding things here at First Strike towers and what I’ve been involved with. Now as regular readers will know, I try to get involved with a bit of everything, but lately I’ve been getting stuck into continuing to improve our AI (yep, those evil bots are my fault, sorry), as well as adding it to new maps. Well, by new maps I mean existing maps of course, I know nothing about that new space map.
Now of course, when I say new space map, what I actually mean is that we have added AI to a space map! Of course, I can’t go any further without first thanking Dnamro. He’s been a hugely overlooked member of the team throughout the AI implementation, working hard to add AI coding to various vehicles, weapons and maps.
Space was a difficult area to get the bots working properly. They are very fussy little things and don’t much like piloting capital ships. The way many of our vehicles are coded simply isn’t compatible with the bots coding. Parmel and Convoy Raid were pretty easy to run since they are purely starfighter maps, but we wanted more. We wanted Battle of Taloraan, and that’s exactly what we have now.
We had to get creative with the coding here and it’s been a joint effort, with Dnamro creating special clones of some weapons just for this map while I did the same for some vehicles. We have auto piloting cap ships now, that move as a massive convoy towards the centre for an impressive fleet battle. To prevent bots getting in the pilot seat, we had to remove spawns during these initial stages and in place of the traditional guns, added automated turrets, both anti fighter and cap ship killers, just like in the MP version.
The result of all this work, is a mass fleet engagement that rivals those seen on the big screen. Fighters dash in and out of laser fire, torpedoes fly through space and explosions rock all around you. Of course, it’s still early days. There are refinements to be done to the AI, and some balance issues to look at, but so far, it’s shaping up to be a superb Co-Op and Singleplayer addition to First Strike.
I shall leave you with one last tantalising teaser. For some time now I’ve been working on my own little map which has involved creating new objects (or at least coupling things together to create new scenery!). Including this....
Next time, I’ll let you know how it works and where it will eventually appear!
Until then, this is Twigs signing off.

i think the game is better then battlefield 2 online. but i like single player, thats to bad + i have a macbook with windows. all battlefield have crasht more than 600 times. aaaaa
i find the game fun cuz I own everyone in it =)
What are you two talking about? Its a good game. I don't know what servers you've been on about finding all these hackers/glitchers, I have only come across 3 hackers and 6 glitchers throughout my entire experience of 2142 and I bought this game in 2006.
For punbuster. Go to www.evenbalance.com click on Bf2142 and go to pb setup. Update it and on your firewall go to execptions and allow battlefield2142 and pb A and B(if you can find it.) Also try running pb A and B before starting.
Vista users! (<---------REEEAADDDD) Make sure your running adminsator! ^_^
Battled2142, I would say is okay...(4/10) Infantry combat is very fun, and you get to the point your one man, When your Tungston AP rounds take like half clip(in full auto) to kill someone. Also for aiming. Aim were there going, Not on them with moving targets. I give it a 4 it is pretty fun to play every once in a while, But if you do play. Please bring freinds only way it's gonna be fun. Also make sure to update your pc's and video cards.
Thats my 2cents D2 out.
This game is not worth buying. Ive bought it in 2006 when it came out.
Also the so called booser pack. Its sad to see how the game degrated with every update. More and more bugs appeared instead of dissappearing.
Cheaters, Glitchers and Hackers additionally destroy the gameplay.
The punkbuster anti cheater software kicks random players who dont even cheat. Then there are these multiple game freezes, server crashes, game crashes to desktop and so on. The promised 64 Player servers are unstable as hell. Oh did I mention the stats tracking issues ? Recent example: end of march - february 1 week and a half the stats werent tracked properly. Without informing the community. Glad they still were recorded somehow and have now been reinserted, but there have already been couple of times where the stats have been lost.
It's not that the game was bad, it's just that it was poorly made.
Well my opinion is, That you're right Chex, But Also the makers should take the blaim of it. Of course, Without them.. There wouldn't be this. So basically, It's all EA's fault :P (Lol, Jokes)
when I try to join Multiplayer it says that I need a patch or something. if anyone knows what patch this is please tell me. I got this game mostly for the online play and it disappoints me that I cant play online. if you can also include the download page for it. other than that this game is very fun. Thanks :D
please tell me about this game T..T i cannot run this game because my VGA on my computer is not work T.T
