About Battlefield 2142

The year is 2142 and the dawn of a new ice age has thrown the world into a panic. The soil not covered by ice can only feed a fraction of the Earth’s population. The math is simple and brutal: some will live, most will die. In Battlefield 2142™, players choose to fight for one of two military superpowers—the European Union or the newly formed Pan Asian Coalition—in an epic battle for survival.

Battlefield 2142 Features

  • New Titan Gameplay – Massive airborne warships dominate the skies, bristling with firepower. As the first all-new game mode to the Battlefield franchise, teams must work together to bring the enemy Titan crashing down to earth.
  • 22nd Century Warfare – Battle Walkers roam the land while Gunships own the air. On the networked battlefield, every soldier is an army.
  • MySoldier – With over 1000 combinations of equipment, every soldier is unique – customize your soldier to match your play style and the situation at hand
