The Battlefield Website has word that the Northern Strike booster pack for Battlefield 2142 is now available for online purchase and download. Word is:

Emphasizing close-quarters combat, Battlefield 2142: Northern Strike features the new Conquest Assault game mode, and three new maps, including the infamous WWII battle scene at the Bridge at Remagen, an Alpine Titan docking harbour in Port Bavaria and a claustrophobic showdown in the Liberation of Leipzig. The booster pack also features new vehicles including the EU's heavily armed IFV Goliath and the PAC's hovering light IFV Hachimoto in addition to new persistence, new gameplay and more.

I approve of this. Worth $10? Hmm... maybe $5. But ah well.
I disapprove of several aspects of the new maps though. From what I can tell, nearly all the vehicles of the game have been removed EXCEPT the Walker and the jeep! No aircraft at all.

The Goliath is really cool. It has energy cells on it that can be specifically targetted so that the Goliath is easier to kill. The Hachimoto is sweet too, and has a very Battlezone 2-ish hovertank feel to it.

Some of the maps seem to run considerably worse than the standard maps. So if you have problems with framerate in 2142, you might want to stay clear of the booster. My computer sucks
