I now have Battlefield 2142. Yay! It's not much different than Battlefield 2, but it does have some improvements. It pisses me off that you can't have grenades from the start, but hey, I'll adjust. I can't say for sure yet whether the game is better than Battlefield 2...it's similar, with just enough differences to make it a distinct game. I will now work to become the best player the Battlefield franchise has ever seen! Okay, maybe not, but I'll probably play it more than I ever played Battlefield 2.

I also might as well give my plans for future gaming. Eventually I will sit down on my PS2 and finish Red Faction, and then I may focus even more on Civilization IV and my recently obtained Warlords expansion. From there, I may decide to give Age of Empires III another shot (I never really gave it a chance and now it's just collecting dust on my shelf). And then, possibly, if I feel the need to play some more games, I'll go buy Company of Heroes, but with a busy schedule and all, that probably won't happen.

What will happen, however, is the eventual buying of an Xbox 360, after which I plan to buy Call of Duty 3 (if I can't get an Xbox 360, I'll just get it for the PS2), Gears of War, and later Mass Effect and Halo 3, as well as possibly Bioshock (I'll get it either for PC or Xbox 360). I'll study up on Xbox 360 games to explore my options.

For the PC next year I also plan to get Crysis, S.T.A.L.K.E.R., Supreme Commander, Spore, and possibly even Enemy Territory: Quake Wars. It's also rumored that Battlefield: Bad Company is gonna come out for the PC. A battlefield game with destructibe environments?!! Yes please!!
