Map of the battlefield

One of the most important things on the battlefield is its map. We can turn it on by pressing the [M] button. It is very, very useful, because it doesn't show only the location of players fighting for our team, but also enemies' position, when for example the Commander uses the UAV or someone from our team points an opponent via the command rose.

Observation of the map allows orientating to the situation on the battlefield. It helps determining the place of the most embittered fights, where reinforcements are required and where the heavy machinery can be found. Moreover, it helps in choosing the proper kit.

3D map

Apart from a traditional map, we can use the 3D map system, which is based on icons appearing in the screen. These indicate the location of flags and other strategically important objects. Moreover, the 3D map shows the distance from these points. It can be turned on and off by pressing the [Alt] button.

Command rose - Orientation and communication - Additional notes - Battlefield 2142 - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Command rose

Pressing the [Q] button activates the command rose. It can be used not only to send commands, but also to communicate with other members of the team we play in. It allows sending a request for, among others, medical assistance, ammunition, reinforcements or a lift. It also possible to confirm or say 'negative' via the command rose, as a reply to all statements said during the game. Moreover, it allows (by using the Spotted option) to point an enemy. His position will be marked on the map of the battlefield for a few seconds, so every soldier from your team will be able to check it.

NetBat system - Orientation and communication - Additional notes - Battlefield 2142 - Game Guide and Walkthrough

NetBat system

NetBat is a special system, which provides various information about unfriendly forces. During the game, different symbols referring to them appear on the screen, for example, squares mark their position:

This system may be used by single soldiers, by only squads can make use of its full potential - Orientation and communication - Additional notes - Battlefield 2142 - Game Guide and Walkthrough

This system may be used by single soldiers, by only squads can make use of its full potential. If one Squad Member spots an enemy and the NetBat system marks him automatically with a square, other Squad Members will receive data about the location of spotted enemy, so the entire squad knows where he is.

In order to send information about enemies, a proper helmet should be unlocked first. I must add that each kit has different type of helmet:

  • Recon helmet allows to mark the enemies' location, even when they hide behind some covers;
  • Assault kit disposes of a helmet, which marks enemy infantry units and additionally identifies their kit;
  • Engineer's helmet provides information about enemy vehicles - their type and location;
  • Support units, thanks to their helmet, are able to see enemies using the IT-33 Active Camouflage device.

Information about enemy's location is lost when he gets out of range of the NetBat system's helmet.
