Battlefield 2142

Pros: The walking MechWarrior things are cool
Cons: Nothing has improved since BF2, PunkBuster updates have major problems

I am a huge fan of the Battlefield series of games from Electronic Arts and up until recently, Battlefield 2142 was the only part of the series that I had not yet played. As much as I loved Battlefield 1942 and Battlefield 2 on PC, ...

Pros: Some cool new game features. The Titan game, well designed weapons and vehicles
Cons: Aging engine, slow load-times, feeling more and more divorced from what made this series great.

Pros: Fun and addicting, multiple game modes, vehicles, and classes

Pros: The combat is somewhat fun, albeit clumsy. Some of the technology is cool.
Cons: No real improvement, could have been an expansion, looks more like 2042, clumsy mech, etc.

Pros: When it's running it's fun...
Cons: EA customer service is the worst.

Let me start by saying I loved the Battlefield series from EA and I was impressed enough that I pre-ordered Battlefield 2142 through EA's fancy new download service. It was buggy and I needed to adjust some stuff to get it to work but I got it working ...
