Battlefield 2142

Last night, at about 10 p.m, my download for the Battlefield 2142 beta finished. I kissed goodbye to Lewis, and installed it. From there, I played it solidly until 1:30. I've never, NEVER felt so engrossed in an online game.

The Titan mode is an example of creative perfection, it adds a much needed alternative to the standard conquest mode on BF2 but it's also the best team-based game I've ever played.

The feelings involved when you capture a series of silos (rocket launch pads, essentially) that will fire rockets at your enemy's Titan's shield. The fear that overwhelms you as you launch yourself up in a pod onto the roof of the Titan, praying you won't be shot down. Then the tense, stealthy moments as you sneak in and destroy the penultimate series of defense mechanisms. After they're down, there's a dramatic, adrenaline-fuelled last-ditch attempt at destroying the Titan's core. When it starts to explode, you have approximately 30-40 seconds to run like hell and jump off the sides of the Titan, pulling your parachute and watching it explode into smithereens above you.

I can ignore the obvious beta flaws in this game, and it is - technically - far from perfect. However, as much as I know I shouldn't say it, I would - without a doubt - give the game a big, fat 10/10 (it's been a good day for me, this and Saints Row - also a 10/10)

For once, I agree with Bradley. The beta was fun to be a part of, and the demo is truly amazing. I love this game

Thinking of getting this. Downloading the demo now to see whether it's any good.
