Darker and Edgier: The storyline, when compared to other Battlefield games. While 1942, Vietnam, and 2 were just World War II, Vietnam War, and Modern Combat shooters respectively with little plot (aside from history with regards to 1942 and Vietnam.) 2142 tells a tale of an apocalyptic ice age forcing the two major factions into a battle for survival. | |

Crapsack World: The first game trailer, promotional, manual, and map descriptions describe that the ice age in 2142 is dwindling resources, thus pushing billions of people to the last remaining fertile land around the equator. One promotional states "Few will live, most will die." | |

Awesome, but Impractical | |
| Battlefield 2142 (Video Game) / int_2bdae2ae | comment |
Awesome, but Impractical: The Zeller-H, the sniper rifle unlock, when fired at the body, docked off 90% of a player health who had heavy body armor on (or a one hit kill if they had light armor if shot at the upper torso), opposed to 70% for the default rifles. The rifle is Anti-Material as well; capable of destroying enemy explosives and equipment. However, the rifle only had three shots, took longer to reload than the default rifles, had a red hue on the scope which make it hard to see on weaker computers, and had a loud report. Both the default rifles and the unlock rifle dealt an insta-kill at the head, but the default rifles had two more rounds, and reloaded faster, not to mention 70% damage, even when compared to 90% damage, is still pretty good, especially against enemies already wounded. If a player was decent enough to score head shots, the extra power wasn't necessary. The hovering attack drone was far less effective than its stationary cousin, the sentry gun. Unlike the sentry gun, which would kill anyone that would wander in its kill zone, the attack drone would only nail enemies that were spotted, or had a red indicator diamond on them. While it could be quite effective with a good squad, players in your typical squad in a typical game were just in it for an extra spawn point and a possible field upgrade. Although the clever support user could plop an IDS onto the thing to give the squad the equivalent of a perpetual mobile UAV, turning the equally impractical (to non-campers) infantry sonar into a Game-Breaker. | |

Glass Cannon | |
| Battlefield 2142 (Video Game) / int_2f253c94 | comment |
Glass Cannon: The gunships are the most heavily armed vehicles in the game, with the pilot-operated rocket pods and gunner-operated cannon and guided TV missiles. At the same time, they are the most brittle of all armored vehicles, with their armor only granting protection against infantry-grade bullets and nothing else. Additionally, the game contains a substantial amount of anti-aircraft weaponry, most of them being able to kill a gunship extremely quickly. Like other armored vehicles, the gunships do have the Active Defense shield, but it does NOT protect against AA missiles. | |

What Happened to the Mouse? | |
| Battlefield 2142 (Video Game) / int_863fa679 | comment |
What Happened to the Mouse?: There is no canonical outcome to the Cold War of the 22nd Century. It is generally assumed, however, that the European Union took the win, given that, at the last known point in the war they were very much on top, and, if one takes the parallels with World War II to their logical conclusion, the EU are the Allies (attacked by surprise, pushed out of Europe, then reclaim with great vengeance). However, no definitive ending has ever been given. Fridge Horror kicks in when you realize that the reason for the war was the inability of the PAC to feed its citizens without Europe's food supplies, which the EU needed to feed their citizens. So presumably the war ends with EU victory... and mass famine in the PAC. | |

Difficult, but Awesome | |
| Battlefield 2142 (Video Game) / int_9b9397bb | comment |
Difficult, but Awesome: The Baur in 2142 and by lesser extent, the SCAR 11. Unlike the infamous Voss rifle, the Baur rifle's heavy recoil makes automatic fire quickly off-target, but the high damage of the weapon still makes it a threat with careful aim in close-quarters and be a fearsome Marksman Gun on semi-automatic. | |

BoringYetPractical | |
| Battlefield 2142 (Video Game) / int_9c63834f | comment |
Boring Yet Practical: While the unlockable assault rifles are quite nice, the default assault rifles for both sides are still perfectly viable weapons, and downright dangerous in the right hands. The default sniper rifles vs the unlockable one as well. You had two more shots, and a faster reload time than the unlockable. The extra 20% damage wasn't worth it if you could land headshots frequently (and useless against heavy armor users since a shot to the body wouldn't kill them from full health either). Taking down the Titan through the missile silos instead of boarding and destroying it from the inside, while not as exciting, can usually be more effective, as most players would flock to an unshielded Titan, leaving the silos unguarded for capture. Not to mention that the firefights on the Titans usually dissolved into a cluster flop of grenade, APM and rocket spam, which could reduce the battles to stalemates pretty quickly. | |

The Aesthetics of Technology: Very minor for balance reasons, but still slightly present. European Union designs are boxy and bulky, but hit harder than their PAC counterparts. Pan-Asian Coalition systems are rounded and emphasize speed and accuracy at the expense of stopping power. | |
