It's the announcement everyone has been anticipating and we finally have some information on it. EA has put up a product page for the Battlefield 2142 expansion entitled Northern Strike.
Update: The page has been password protected. To view a screenshot of the full page click the image below or here.
The PAC (Pan Asian Coalition) has secretly moved into northern and central Europe, using abandoned urban areas to establish new strongholds. Intense close-quarters warfare awaits the EU forces when they mobilize troops for a full-force assault to claim back their land. The Battlefield 2142: Northern Strike™ Booster Pack brings all-out infantry-focused battles into new snow-covered battlegrounds across Europe.
Three new maps provide the setting for the Booster Pack. High up in the Alps the EU uses launch pods to launch an assault on a PAC Titan docking harbour on 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 2142: Infantry Storm offers an asymmetrical vehicle set-up with one new vehicle available to each army. The heavy IFV Goliath is a massive, slow-moving firing platform available to the EU, the attacking side, only. It is used to provide cover, as well as health and ammunition, to nearby infantrymen. The fast-moving hovering light IFV Speeder, available to the defending PAC only, is an efficient vehicle killer when staffed by a well coordinated pilot/gunner team
Wow. EA really is going to make the same mistake twice.

3) Support game play in a near-simulation environment. Where the focus of play would not be solely on doing what it takes to win, but doing so utilizing real-world combat strategy and tactics rather than leveraging exploits provided to players by the design of the game engine.
In previous booster packs they were pretty much just vehicles maps that no one really played (except for the great wall map which was awesome) Infantry Storm provides to the masses what they actually enjoy and thats infantry maps. So i for one will be purchasing. after all it's only 10 dollars.
We will discuss this amongst the admin team, but judging by the total lack of success that the last booster packs had, I'd say it doesn't look good. We'll see, though.

I actually enjoy(ed) the booster packs in BF 2. The new maps and vehicles were well done in my opinion. They simply were not embraced, for which I cannot fully explain.

I agree, as I enjoyed them as well. Hopefully the new maps aren't so "choke point" heavy that they turn into instant meat grinders.

If at first you don't succeed, you need more firepower.
There is nothing wrong with feeling something when you shoot your enemies... as long as that something is recoil.
It would be nice to change the Titan server over to use the booster packs and be Titan only on Fridays. I don't know what the stats are on that server, but I've never seen it utilized unless it's a specific TGITF.
The booster is specificly infantry focused, and I am all for that. I'll be getting it no matter if TG supports it or not, but other than the crazy unlocks, it sounds like it's right up the alley of what people like to play here.
Eight months later I finally received the reports from three peer-reviews on my latest manuscript with the University of Toronto Press. This will be my third book with the same press and the second...

Rage makes a great case for using the VR as a place for training as a sniper. Virtual training rooms for training in virtual warfare.
This post is a great TG read:

Bravo Microsoft, you have now surpassed EA in poor decisions and once and for all seized the crown for the worst 'Reveal' ever. That EA were standing there on the stage with you when you did it was...
