The PAC (Pan Asian Coalition) has secretly moved into northern and central Europe, using abandoned urban areas to establish new strongholds. Intense close-quarters warfare awaits the EU forces when they mobilize troops for a full-force assault to claim back their land. The Battlefield 2142: Northern Strike™ Booster Pack brings all-out infantry-focused battles into new snow-covered battlegrounds across Europe.

Three new maps provide the setting for the Booster Pack. High up in the Alps the EU uses launch pods to launch an assault on a PAC Titan docking harbour on the map Port Bavaria. Bridge at Remagen, the scene for one of WWII’s major battles, is once again the setting for intense battles as both sides fight to secure the bridge. Finally, night has fallen when the EU launches their assault on the city in the Liberation of Leipzig..

Battlefield 2142: Infantry Storm offers an asymmetrical vehicle set-up with one new vehicle available to each army. The heavy IFV Goliath is a massive, slow-moving firing platform available to the EU, the attacking side, only. It is used to provide cover, as well as health and ammunition, to nearby infantrymen. The fast-moving hovering light IFV Speeder, available to the defending PAC only, is an efficient vehicle killer when staffed by a well coordinated pilot/gunner team.

With ten new unlocks, also available in the core game, and ten new awards, Battlefield 2142: Infantry Storm offers unprecedented persistence for a Booster Pack and makes the Battlefield 2142 experience deeper than ever before.

The epic Titan mode introduced in Battlefield 2142 is available on two maps, and for the first time in an urban setting. All maps also feature Conquest mode with a tweaked Conquest Assault set-up, in which the attacking army (the EU) now has to conquer all control points before taking the enemy’s main base. Welcome to the future of war!
Key Features

* Fast–paced, infantry-focused gameplay boosts the intensity of the all-out war experience.
* Three new maps set in Europe, where snow-covered post-apocalyptic cities and a ridge in the Alps become the new battlegrounds.
* Two brand-new vehicles designed to support infantry combat available in an asymmetrical set-up, with the hovering light IFV Speeder available to the PAC and the massive heavy IFV Goliath available to the EU.

* Epic Titan mode available on two maps, and for the first time in a urban setting, for more intense Titan gameplay.

I doubt this addon will be any diff to the previous, in that you'l only be able to play this addon if the server has only these maps on the rotation. So you wont be able to have 'vanilla' BF2142 maps on the same rotation.

If theres serious intrest in running a night with this mod then we'l switch it over some evening(Mon-Thu), but you have to tell me you have the addon and you're available (Just like for a match).

Hi All

The weather online will get cold this spring when EA releases Northern Strike, a booster pack for its sci-fi first-person shooter, Battlefield 2142. Two new vehicles, the PAC's Hachimoto, a light hovercraft, and the EU's Goliath, a huge firing platform, are included in the download. Also part of the package are three new maps set in Europe: the Bridge at Remagen, the city of Leipzig, and a Titan docking harbor in Port Bavaria. Developer DICE wanted to put a bigger focus on close-quarters combat this time around and it should show in the map designs. Ten new rewards, one new pin, and ten new unlockable items are featured as well. The booster pack will be available this spring. No price has been announced so far, and a closed beta is set to begin in the near future.

This was on Gamespy.
