bsu legato Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 From the official site: Battlefield 2 Goes GOLD!This just in from the front lines…Battlefield 2 has officially gone GOLD! The game will begin shipping under the EA GAMES brand starting Tuesday, June 21, 2005. In Battlefield 2, players will choose to fight for one of three military superpowers: the United States, China, or the newly formed Middle East Coalition. Armed with the latest modern weaponry, players can take control of any of the game’s 30+ vehicles. Players can also hone their skills against improved enemy intelligence in the new single-player campaign before competing online with up to 64 players in some of the most intense battles on the PC. Enhanced team play features allow players to enter the action on the front lines as part of a formal squad, or work behind the scenes in Commander Mode to direct the strategic assaults of their teammates. With the new online character ranking and persistence, players increase their rank and unlock awards, including new weapons, medals, and more. Developed by Sweden-based developer, Digital Illusions, the creators of the original Battlefield 1942, Battlefield 2 is rated “T” (Teen) by the ESRB and has an MSRP of $49.99. For more information about Battlefield 2, please visit http://battlefield2.ea.com or our press Web site at http://info.ea.com Barring any last minute suckage that might seep into the game, this is looking awesome. When its out and we all get copies, anybody interested in some informal skirmishes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mechafan Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 I was looking at it this and it was pretty good. I would not mind giving it a try. I have not played the first one yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shmitty Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 I would jump at the chance, this is looking so great. The physics and the gameplay all seem to be going together so well. Can't wait for the 21st. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyboy Posted June 3, 2005 Share Posted June 3, 2005 (edited) I played Battlefield2 at E3 a few weeks back. Graphics-wise, it's a very, very impressive game! The play-balancing for the sniper is so much better than any other FPS currently on the market. Every time you squeeze a shot off, the game automatically zooms out of the scope view to "reload." You have to re-aqcuire your target each time, so snipers won't be quite as annoying as they are in other games. I didn't play it enough to get an idea of how the Commander mode works, but overally, this game is much more refined than any of the previous Battlefield games. If there's one game I buy this year (and at this rate, there may only be one!) this is it! Felix Edited June 3, 2005 by flyboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
promethuem5 Posted June 3, 2005 Share Posted June 3, 2005 Omg, I misread it as BF2 goes COLD and panicked! Glad to see it;s doing good as Im totally psyched! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpacePirateNeko Posted June 3, 2005 Share Posted June 3, 2005 Joint Op has been my game of choice until this game arrives. I wasnt as big a fan of the older battlefield as i am of JO but ive been looking forward to this game for months. One thing that bothers me was at E3 all the enemy players had tags like the old BF which was really weak and made camo and carefully advancing infiltry rather pointless to just going out and playing rambo. Now i understand this will most likely be an option that can be turned off however if its set to default most of the heavy servers are going to have it on which will diminish gameplay ( for me at least ) Besides that everything looks good and ill be picking this one up. Im suprised no beta has been released this close to actual release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpacePirateNeko Posted June 3, 2005 Share Posted June 3, 2005 Oh yea and another cool thing about this game is that they are giving this game heavy mod tool kits. There is at least 15 great mods already long underway inluding some very cool ww2 mods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is definitely something I would have liked to see Dice leave behind when they were working on BF2. IIRC, they claim its to promote "community" or some such nonsense. Leaving it in was their sort of trademark "Battlefield-ism." But from what I've read, there will indeed be some option to disable it either when the game ships, or in a patch shortly thereafter. Nice to hear about the taming of the 'snipahs' as well. More games need to do that. Just as long as there's no scope-walking, I'll be happy.

twich Posted June 3, 2005 Share Posted June 3, 2005 Yeah, my online gaming clan Festival of Frags are gearing up for the release, we are taking DC(our primary game) off of our primary box and installing BF2, the day it comes out I suppose.....I dont know what they are going to do about server managers and the like for admins, but I guess Black Bag Ops is working on it. I am looking forward to this, and so is the rest of the =FoF= clan! Here is hoping it doesnt suck! Twich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bsu legato Posted June 3, 2005 Author Share Posted June 3, 2005 IGN has some new VIDEOS online. So if we're all intent on getting the game, are we interested in throwing together some informal MW brawls? We could post here to set up the time and server IP, or we could all hook up on X-Fire.

If you enjoyed playing Battlefield 1942 and Battlefield Vietnam, you'll love Battlefield 2. Click here to get the demo as soon as it comes out on Xfire's FPS Demos Channel.

myk Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 Yeah, I finally gave in to the Dark Side and got a cable line, so BF2 and other multi-play sounds like alot of fun, especially if I get to the chance to riddle some of you with bullets, albeit virtual. I must say that even though I've just started playing online, repeatedly getting taken out by some sniper, usually named "DeathSnipeFX3000vb" or something is starting to get really old. I haven't played many games, only Black Hawk Down, AvP2, Doom and 'Vietnam... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
