Missing manual

This is a good book for beginning players, literally the missing manual that should have been shipped with the game. BF2142 is multiple layers of gaming, strategy and scenarios that require an immediate understanding of a complex game. If you don't have a good understanding of: -Strength and weakness of roles and machines -How your play affects others -How you can prevent a disaster or cause one -Many Complexities programmed into this game This will cause you: -A bump into a million walls learning experience -Chastisement from other players -Slower ascent up in ranks/unlocks -A horrid Kill/Death ratio -A weak understanding of what comes next If you play this game, this book is like BF2142 for Dummies I and II. A good solid understanding of the game, the soldiers, weapons and machines. Now go forth and frag!! Krankee099

Battlefield 2142 (Prima Official Game Guide)

VERY Useful guide, if you want to know all the little secrets of my favorite game as of now. Give you the damage ratio and weakness's of each weapon. The in and outs of each kit equipment item. Strategies for each map, (if you can but get the people to squad up and follow you as a commander). Good Guide if you want to master the best FPS out as of yet, which replaced Battlefield 2, which in and of its self is a fantastic game. it is Not necessary, but a very useful guide. Now all I need is for the wife and kids to give me time to play ;-)

You have the game, now get the manual!

To increase playability, game designers are basically selling games without the manuals leaving gamers can figure it out these complex worlds by themselves. Considering that I play games to win (just like a chess player plays chess to win), not knowing how weapons work or the differences between one mine and another is a big disadvantage. So I purchased this book along with the game, and I was not disappointed. Not only will you get to know the advantages and disadvantages of the different vehicles and weapons, but you will also get insight as to the most effective strategies to each of the Battlefield 2142 maps. And even though I found some small ommisions, like the fact that you can only choose from the unlock tree vertically, you will probably have more information that you will ever need. So if you want to become a dangerous gamer in Battlefield 2142, then you need this book. Gus Maximus The Art of Gamefare, The Art of Winning Do you know digital Kung-Fu? [...]

OK

It lets you know a lot and really how good some guns are. It provides some good hints. Other then that it is just what you would expect from a strategy guide.

An outstanding guide to Battlefield 2142

This is an outstanding guide to Battlefield 2142, especially for new players. The main reason I bought this book is that I was looking for all of the fundamental game information that this book contains (which should have shipped with the game or been available on the game's website, but is not). In this sense, this game guide is very much the "missing manual" to Battlefield 2142. Contrary to the first reviewer's assertion, this book contains a great deal of very basic information that is either not on the web or is buried in a haystack of game forum posts (which one would otherwise have to learn in-game via trial-and-error). I've played all of the games in the Battlefield series, and I would highly recommend this book especially to any new players. In addition, this game guide includes very attractive and useful full color graphics throughout, so it's a pleasure to browse through in your downtime.
