Looks very interesting.

The year is 2142, and the dawn of a new Ice age has thrown the world into a panic. The math is simple and brutal: The soil not covered by ice can only feed a fraction of the Earth’s population. Some will live, most will die. In Battlefield 2142, players will choose to fight for one of two military superpowers in an epic battle for survival, the European Union or the newly formed Pan Asian Coalition. Armed with a devastating arsenal of hi-tech assault rifles, cloaking devices and sentry guns, players will also do battle using some of the most imposing vehicles known to man. Massive battle Mechs wage fierce combat on the ground, while futuristic aircraft rule the skies. When facing one of these new behemoths, players will need to use their wits and an arsenal of new countermeasures like EMP grenades to level the playing field.

Old. Looks shite and is clearly made to cash in on the ET:QW stuff. And it looks shite.

could be alright... but it seems like EA wants to squeeze every cent from the battlefield franchise.

Thats how it goes now days though, make hundreds of games/movies and wait for a good one then make 20 sequels. Produce a series about the making of the show then put the actors on a reality show and let the hilarity ensue!

Novel.

As long as I can play as China, or some new-fangled futuristic alliance of south-east asian countries then I'll be happy, assuming the game isn't shit.

It doesn't even look that good to be honest... the idea looks neat but the graphics looks like crap.

Are you sure you're just not on crack right now?
