Topic: Battlefield 2142: Deluxe Edition

Taken from Bestbuy.com, this is what they say about Battlefield 2142: Deluxe Edition

Synopsis
Continue the struggle for survival in the Battlefield 2142: Deluxe Edition, which includes an updated version of the original saga plus the Battlefield 2142: Northern Strike booster pack. Welcome to 22nd-century Earth, where expanding ice caps threaten to engulf the entire planet in a modern ice age. With resources drastically depleted, the survivors wage all-out war in two multinational coalitions, each pushing toward the equator and the last remaining livable areas. Futuristic weapons on the ground and massive aircraft in the skies blanket every territory in conflict. Customizable infantry, new maps, brand-new vehicles and devastating weapons make this an immersive first-person shooter you won't want to miss. Who will claim what's left of Earth's habitable territories?

New to this version are Titans, massive airborne warships that serve as home bases. For the first time in the series, you must work as a team to destroy these enormous aerial threats. You'll also see three new maps of Europe as well as two fearsome vehicles, the IFV Hachimoto and the IFV Goliath. Soldiers with customizable attributes lay waste on the frontlines — equip your men with more than 1,500 combinations via the new skill tree system. More than 40 ranks and unlocks, including special squad and commander upgrades, add an excitement and richness to gameplay you'll have to feel to believe. Use every tool at your disposal to fight for the most precious thing of all: the existence of man.

Features

    * Wield fierce weapons such as EMP grenades, sentry guns, Battle Walkers, NK-1000 Type 2 sniper rifles and SD-8 Accipiter drones
    * Cover tough terrain in the hovering IFV Hachimoto, the massive IFV Goliath and the L-5 Riesig Battle Walker
    * Use the new skill tree system to customize your soldiers with more than 1,500 combinations of attributes; transform your men into medic snipers, recon engineers and other specialties
    * More than 40 ranks and unlocks, including special squad and commander upgrades, enrich the Battlefield 2142 experience
    * For the first time, work as a team to battle massive aerial warships known as Titans
    * For 2 to 64 players via Internet or LAN
    * Includes an updated version of the original Battlefield 2142 plus the Battlefield 2142: Northern Strike booster pack
    * Battle for the last livable areas on the planet, ravaged by an ice age in the 22nd century

... New skill tree system? Medic Sniper, Recon Engineer? Commander Upgrades? NK-1000 Type 2 sniper rifles? Either they have grossly exaggerated this, or it's true. If so, then where does that leave all of us who bought the original games? I want a new skill unlock tree! I want to be a Medic Sniper or Recon Engineer. I want commander upgrades (I don't remember any of these even with Battlefield 2142 + NS + 1.40 patch).

So, in conclusion, either this is really exaggerated, or it's true. Also, it has been noted, that this Deluxe Edition has problems, like players not being able to play.
New skill tree system, Medic Sniper, Recon Engineer, Commander upgrades, and NK-1000 Type 2 sniper rifle (I don't think there is this in my 2142 game, I have NS and the latest patch). Perhaps someone can shed some light on this also.

What do you guys think about this?

Edit: After looking at all of this, it might appear that they missed putting commas after each other. Still, some of this makes no sense to me, and I know the names of the sniper rifles, and I have most of the unlocks, and I don't remember any commander upgrade in the mix.

Re: Battlefield 2142: Deluxe Edition

I think what we have here is a failure to communicate. There's no way they would creat hybrid classes, it would break the game. MAYBE the new rifle, sort of a like the extras in the WoW packs. But even if it is there, it will probably be just for show.

Re: Battlefield 2142: Deluxe Edition

There is nothing new here. Just advertising it to make it sound better. All it is is 2142 patched up with northern strike.
