There's a
Battlefield 2 Q&A on the Battlefield SinglePlayer Website (thanks
Total Battlefield 2) talking with EA's
Ben Smith about the upcoming military shooter sequel, keeping to their chosen
focus of single-player action, though multiplayer is also touched upon: "This is
correct, we will not be shipping with coop support in Battlefield 2. Since
single-player in Battlefield 2 is focused on training players for full
multiplayer matches (a gateway to multiplayer) we chose to focus on each of the
modes separately and eliminate coop. There are no plans at this time to add coop
support in a patch."
The Quake 4 Teaser Website is online,

whet your appetite.

We have brunch plans in a bit with our step-aunt and step-grandma... with all
the obvious downsides to being from what was once quaintly called a "broken
home," when such breaks are repaired through remarriage, an upside is the
extended family (provided, of course, it turns out you all love each other like
we do). We'll pass the local icon that is
Stew Leonard's on the way back, and
since the weather is so much nicer today, we may stop in and pick up some
fixings for a cookout at the super-duper-market.
