Battlefield 2 Delayed

HomeLAN Fed has posted some highlights of an EA investor's conference call today that included news that Battlefield 2 is delayed, and that DICE's military shooter sequel will be available fiscal Q2 2006 (April-June 2005), rather than March as was planned. They also fessed up to a delay to the next console Medal of Honor game and hinted at plans to try to develop a new baseball franchise in spite of losing the Major League Baseball Players Association license.

My source from EA tells me that they're delaying the release of some of their upcoming 2005 titles to port them to next-generation consoles like the XBox 2, which was confirmed a few days ago for a Q4 05 release. He didn't mention BF2 specifically, but any amount of deductive reasoning is enough for verification.

I knew this was coming. Great, now we will have some crappy textured POS built for the PS2.

Going to get my on hold money back from EB Games.

*Oops got ahead of myself there. Should have read all of the comments before going into freak out mode.

well, EA publishes just about every goddam game now, so it's no surprise that there are numerous delays associated with EA games.

i am certainly saddened by this news. even though pushing it back only a couple of months doesn't seem so bad... on the other hand they could just be stringing us and investors along. not a new concept in this industry

Yeah. I mean, EA had nothing to do with the BF series BEFORE BF2, either. :0 Come on now.

<shrug> Better it's delayed than rushed out the door.

Guys, second quarter fiscal year 2006 starts in April 2005 (how screwed up is business anyway). The delay is only a couple of months at worst.

Did anyone really expect a development house to make a release date...please

Of course it's delayed. EA needs at least a year to dumb it down and fuck it up completely so that they can sell it to the console crowd.

The fiscal year starts in April I believe, so it would be first fiscal year 2006.

Its a sad day for BF2. DICE bought out, then this!
