- Battlefield 2142 Impressions -
FiringSquad has posted an early impressions of Battlefield 2142: ' We have
to admit having playing mostly with the assault class with its standard
assault rifle, but we did play a bit as the engineer class and loved firing
off its anti-vehicle rocket launcher. We found that the air gunships in the
game were a lot easier to control that previous aircraft in the Battlefield
series and of course the mech like battlewalkers are a lot of fun to drive,
though the walker's legs are vulnerable, even if you drop a few feet down into
an incline. The support class can be a lot of fun to play as well; setting up
defensive turrets and being able to sniff enemies behind cover can be plenty
useful in an attack.'
