All-New Conquest Assault Game Mode, Maps, Vehicles, Unlocks and Close-Quarters Combat for Battlefield 2142 Available Via EA Link
REDWOOD CITY, Calif., Mar 08, 2007 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- The battle for survival wages on! Electronic Arts (NASDAQ: ERTS)
today announced that Battlefield 2142™: Northern Strike(1) is now
available for the PC and ready for download via EA Link™ at
http://www.ea.com/ealink for $9.99. Battlefield 2142: Northern Strike
has been rated T for Teen by the ESRB and was developed at the EA
Digital Illusions (DICE) studio in Stockholm, Sweden.
Emphasizing close-quarters combat, Battlefield 2142: Northern
Strike drops gamers deep into a desperate conflict for control of
Earth's last scraps of inhabitable land following the onset of a
cataclysmic new ice age. The Pan-Asian Coalition (PAC) has secretly
moved into mainland Europe, using abandoned urban areas to establish
new strongholds in a last-ditch push for superiority. The European
Union must quickly mobilize north to dislodge PAC forces from a series
of urban strongholds and regain the upper hand.
Battlefield 2142: Northern Strike features the new Conquest
Assault game mode, and three new maps, including the infamous WWII
battle scene at the Bridge at Remagen, an Alpine Titan docking harbour
in Port Bavaria and a claustrophobic showdown in the Liberation of
Leipzig. The booster pack also features new vehicles including the
EU's heavily armed IFV Goliath and the PAC's hovering light IFV
Hachimoto in addition to new persistence, new gameplay and more.
"This is the additional content that Battlefield 2142 fans have
been asking for," said Kristoffer Bergqvist, the booster pack's
producer. "We've added deep new maps, weapons and vehicles to keep the
action fresh and exciting on the Battlefield for months to come."
