Fun:
I first came across this game at a friends house and in a short amount of time came to appreciate that it was a very well made squad-based online shooter.
You have a choice of singleplayer (you're fighting with and against computer controlled 'bots') or multiplayer (you're going against human players) modes. The multiplayer being the main party piece of this game, though I would advise a decent connection first...a mere 56K modem will lead to some infuriating lag.
You start a game in multiplayer (choosing from the myriad of servers with more maps than you can shake a stick at) and are immediately faced with a choice between 4 classes (recon/assault/support/engineer) each with a fully customisable 'kit' that is upgradable as you gain points and progress through the ranks. The controls are straightforward and very easy to get to grips with, the weapons are well balanced (even the fully upgrade ones have their weaknesses, so any new players stand a fair chance) and there is alot to be said about the squad/commander system.
In most other online shooters (even the objective based ones) you tend to end up with two teams aimlessly shooting eachother without any real strategy or effect. Although you're free to "lone wolf" in this game, the real rewards come from being part of a squad and actually following a unified effort to win a map. You have an elected player who acts as a commander at the start of each new map, who is able to issue support to the squads he commands...and as a new player, you can choose to be part of one of these squads, following the orders that the commander or squad leader sets. This gives you extra bonuses should you succeed in these orders and it allows you to move on in the ranks far quicker than if you merely stick it out as a single player. This rather ruins the complaints that beginners are utter free game for seasoned veterans with numerous upgrade advantages, and I haven't found myself at any real loss as a new player.
Vehicles are beautifully done in this game. Controls are simple, you can have some epic duals between different types (each with their own strengths & weaknesses). And there are infantry accessable weaknesses to even the playing field a little.
The EA servers are very stable, any problems I've had have been due to my own connection or ISP (gotta love tiscali eh?). The graphics are superb, though it took me having actually to stop and look to notice this, and even on lower quality settings the game is very playable.
For >£20 in some places, you really can't afford not to give this game a try.

Fun:
I've played this game many times with friends or in scrims (clan matches) or on my own, its a pleasure to talk and make friends with people and add them with BF 2142 uber friend system.
It's a online game, only a basic simulator for singleplayer.
It's a team player game, not a run & gun like Cod 4, its not reliant on teamwork but you seem to win allot easier if you work as squads, one of a very few games left which overs mass ammounts of veriety, takes stratergy, huge maps, got a titan mode : google it it's amazing, many vehicles, many different guns and not really any dominant gun.
Very recomended, its amazing unique type of game except from BF 2 which is the younger brother of the game but very different. It's simply amazing.

Fun to play but disappointing as weapons and extras can only be unlocked during on line play.
