its obviously win win for them by allowing this to be played on any server as those that are running it and on popular servers are going to get thoe that wouldnt normally commit to say.. ahhh fek it, im going to buy it only to stop getting booted off my favorite server every time the map rotates
Well I brought Euro Forces expansion pack and thought it was pretty good (new army, weapons and vehicles). I enjoyed playing ‘Great Wall’ and had some good games on the XDC server when we ran it.
I even tried to sort out a kind of rota so that we could play EF and SF once a week. But it was too much hassle. We found that people switched sides to play the EF meaning that us poor XDC suckers had to balance the teams and ended up just playing the Chinese.
That World of Warcraft expansion pack sold like hot cakes, probably because it was specially designed so that everyone could use it, rather than having to find a server which was hosting it (I know WoW has a different principle to the BF series).
I probably won’t be buying the addon, unless there’s some pretty cool stuff that I can use no matter which server I’m playing on. SF did something similar with the unlock guns, (but there were only 4 of them FFS!)

I think thats the intention isnt it?
Three new maps provide the setting for the Booster Pack. High up in the Alps the EU uses launch pods to assault a PAC Titan docking harbour in the map Port Bavaria. Bridge at Remagen, the scene for one of WWII’s major battles, is once again the setting for intense battles as both sides fight to secure the bridge. Finally, night has fallen when the EU launches their assault on the city in the Liberation of Leipzig.
Battlefield 2142â„¢: Northern Strike introduces two new vehicle types. The heavy IFV Goliath is a massive, slow-moving firing platform available to the EU. It is used to provide cover, as well as health and ammunition, to nearby infantry. The fast-moving hovering light IFV Hachimoto, available to the defending PAC only, is an efficient vehicle killer when staffed by a well coordinated pilot/gunner team.
With ten new unlocks and ten new awards, Battlefield 2142™: Northern Strike offers unprecedented persistence for a Booster Pack. The epic Titan mode introduced in Battlefield 2142™ is available on two maps, and for the first time in an urban setting. All maps also feature Conquest mode with the Conquest Assault Lines set-up, in which the attacking army now has to conquer all control points before taking the enemy’s main base.
Key Features
Fast–paced, infantry-focused gameplay boosts the intensity of the all-out war experience.
Three new maps set in Europe, where snow-covered post-apocalyptic cities and a ridge in the Alps become the new battlegrounds.
Two brand-new vehicles designed to support infantry combat available in an asymmetrical set-up, with the hovering light IFV Hachimoto available to the PAC and the massive heavy IFV Goliath available to the EU.
Increased persistence. Ten new rewards, one new pin and ten new unlock items at the top of the unlocks trees, available also on core game maps, take persistence to new levels. Unlock credits earned in the booster pack can also be used in the core game.
Epic Titan mode available on two maps, and for the first time in a urban setting, for more intense Titan gameplay.
Tweaked Conquest-assault gameplay (Assault Lines game mode) on all three maps creates more choke points and more heated battles.
Horizontal podding gives infantry additional ways of moving across the maps quickly“horizontal podding” – is that something our dutch friend does in his spare time? 🙂

No point in getting it. Result will be same as all the BF extras. New map comes on, server empties
Exactly why I’ve not touched a booster pack since RTR, and that one I only bought so I’d not miss out on a Big Scrum co.uk ran shortly after it’s release.
We really should all start pulling in the same direction over this. Either we all buy these expansions regardless of quality and give EA what they want, or all refuse to buy them and eventually force a change of thinking in expansion pack development, hopefully getting what we want.
Good point, but try telling GheyMax that.. its like talking to a brick wall… thats been spray painted with the EA logo I might add!
He thinks its all about us not the paying £6 for it :/
I thought I read that the booster will fit in with normal server play, hang on thinking about it, how would that work with maps?
hmm .. fuck it.. until they implement the boosters into normal serverage without every fooker buying em, I aint paying for one.. its not worth it
Charging doesnt make customers!
TWATS!
gotta love tripwire…free maps & fixes and encourage mapping community to make quality addons and maps. 😀
Oh dear max. You like ea wayyyy to much
I can see it now. Poor maxs kid is going to be dressed in clothes with the ea logo all over it 😆
Can you imagine the poor sods name if max did not have a misses that does not like comps.

I think we need to get neon to photoshop some baby grows so they have the ea logo on 😆 Just for research purposes of course 😛

I can’t just imagine it at dinner times:
“Sharqi Brown! Get down here at once! Karki and Maashtuur are both at the table already and you won’t be getting any pudding!”
