Reception
Battlefield 2142 generally received positive reviews from game-rating communities but lower than those of its predecessors IGN rated Battlefield 2142 an 8.4 and GameSpot rated Battlefield 2142 an 8.1. Game Rankings's average rating for the game is at 80%. However, consumers of the game (particularly Mac users) were quite disgruntled due to the game's very buggy initial release. Many of these consumer reviews are found on Amazon.com, and on the online Apple Store. Months after the buggy initial release, EA released a patch which resolved most of the game's bugs; official widescreen support didn't come until the 1.5 patch was released for the PC version of the game on May 30, 2008. The Mac version of the patch was released two months later, on August 1, 2008. Hyper's Kosta Andreadis commends the game for its "Titan Mode, refined reward and promotion system well designed maps". However, he criticized it for "lag issues when boarding Titans".
