The game was built primarily for multiplayer use allowing a maximum 64 players on a server and allows a single player mode with AI bots on Conquest mode with a maximum up 16 players. It has its own ranking system to keep track of the user's stats similar to the one used in its predecessor, Battlefield 2. It additionally opens up a new field of vehicles not seen in Battlefield 2 as well as new futuristic weapons the player is able to use. Battlefield 2142 has an unlock system allowing the player to choose a new unlock every time they achieve a new rank rather than making them purchase the item. EA Games has also released a booster pack called Northern Strike, which contains 3 new maps, 10 new unlocks and 2 new vehicles. At the 2007 WWDC, it was announced that Battlefield 2142 would be released for Macintosh computers in July 2007.[1] It was released on August 28, 2007 for Macintosh. Since the game uses Cedega it will only work with Intel based Macintosh systems and not PowerPC.

that got me really interested... I have been playing it for about a day now, and I JUST LOVE IT!

It is a good game.

Though I much prefer Battlefield 2. I like the setting better, the music better, the graphics better, and the fact that I can have grenades in it. See, I have bad internet for gaming, which means I was never able to unlock anything in BF2142, and therefore never got grenades... Walkers aren't so easy to kill without grenades. I have to specifically respawn as a missile launcher guy.

Anyways, I'm glad you like it. How's it performing on your Mac?

What kind of Mac are you running it on? Is is smooth?

It didn't run great on my rev A. Macbook Pro, but it runs just awesome on my Mac Pro. I have it on full settings.

I can't wait to get my new MBP here in a month. My new employer is getting me one and I'm just dying to switch jobs so I can have it.

WIsh this game worked on my Nov. 2007 MacBook, but it doesn't. I knew that before buying, just wishing it could work!

I have a PC in the basement that I keep as an internet gateway & gaming machine. I play BF1942, BFVietnam, BF2, BF2142 & COD4 when I have time (which isn't very often...but still). The thing I really like about BF2142 is the fact that flying is super, super easy compared to the other games where joysticks are practically required. I use the keyboard & mouse to play (which I totally suck at, I'm a console gamer...can't get used to the keyboard/mouse combo), and flying in 2142 is actually a joy.
