The

gold, adding a ship date of June 21, 2005 for the modern warfare shooter (thanks
Frans). Here's the deal:
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.

Since I have been away from Bluesnews,people have really gotten in a tizzy over nothing!
1. BF1942 was great out of the box. We still play it at LAN parties to date.
2. Demo is going to be a tiny version of game. It isn't even going to be complete.
3. Before you start bitching about how much it sux, play it.
4. Trolls go away.

Oh give me a break. Terrible gameplay mechanics? Where'd you find that phrase? One of your favorite gaming sites? I guess the tons of other people that made it the GOTY agree with you huh. And I guess that's why other companies are cloning their style of game?Gasp! The horror! God forbid he have an independant thought! Call the waaaaaambulance!
There is coop:
Just start a server w/ a password. Tell your friends the password. Fill with Bots & friends. Presto.
Yeah, that's how my son and I played coop in BF '42. But the press release specifically mentioned NO coop. I'm confused. But hopefully the marketeers were just being ignorant and it will work just like in '42.

And it's a sequel? Huh? No, Star Wars 1-6 are sequels.. this is not a "sequel".
Note the 2 in the title? To most civilizations, that means a sequel. 2 coming after 1.

BF 1942. Followed by Battlefield 2. See?
Btw, can you taste the irony in your frequent use of the word n00b, and your chosen nickname?

It's awesome how this has 3 seperate headline news posts too btw.
Holy shit I think BF2 is coming out soon, but I'm not sure, maybe we need a few more headliners.

No Coop, no BF2 for me.

And that mean BF:V will be dropping in price any day now. Might pick it up, but don't think so... GTA:SA is coming out in 5 days!
i hate sequels and i thought BF1942 was an awful, overrated game with terrible gameplay mechanics, but the videos for this are really impressive. I hope there's a demo soon, otherwise I might impulse buy this and get dissapointed. D'oh!
they went with the same 3 sides of C&C Generals though, which i wasn't really too into.

I bought Trespasser to run on my 350mhz AMD K6-2 CPU. I remember the guy at EB telling me, do you have a 500mhz Pentium 3? Otherwise don't bother. I lied and said I did because I just wanted the damn thing and was ignorant to how it would run. Surprisely aside from my way weak ram amount, 32mb at the time, it had no other problems, go AMD! It was a great game if you had the patience because I could spend hours on one mission on that game and just messa round with the physics and loved the creature AI at the time. You could lure raptors to a stegasaurus and watch them duke it out while you hide. It felt really alive. Good stuff!

"Steel, Trespasser was great!
Granted, it had some...kinks. But it was way ahead of it's time with regards to other areas (physics).
It helps to think of it as an expensive tech demo. That heals the wounds."
I like the way you think, Mike. You are the only person -- after my *thousands* of posts referencing that game -- that has made me actually feel *good* about buying "Trespasser" upon its release. My hat comes off and I bow, good sir! Thank you!
As a side note: I'm an Xbox fan, and I was amazed to find out, recently, that one of the guys behind "Trespasser" was a driving force behind the Xbox. Go figure? : )

Should've played it at the Games for Windows booth with me. No line, big 22+ inch monitor, with full sound
I did on Day 3. I spent half the time showing off the game for Joshuah over at that booth since his voice was going (which was great fun). Day 2 I won a 6600GT in the BF2 tourney, which is why I was at NVidia booth :).

And I predict you will eat your hat. I had the marvelous opportunity to get in a few rounds of 32-player action at E3 2005 over at the Nvidia booth, and even that build which was a month old even at that time looked definitely good enough to ship. I was able to examine all my fears (command mode pointless, squads don't encourage teamwork, etc.) and was able to allay all of them. Placed my pre-order as soon as I got home from L.A.

So who's dusting off their flight sticks?
Although they didn't have a joystick at E3 and I had to resort to the akimbo keyboard method (wasd and arrows for cyclic/strafe and rudder/yaw, respectively), the helis and planes "feel" more realistic. There's more drift in the controls, but it actually feels more responsive altogether. It'll be interesting to see if this holds up under more laggy conditions.

I skipped BF:VN so it's been a while.

Now Trespasser, THAT is a game that deserves a sequel... done on the Unreal 3 engine no less. ;p
As for BF 2? I HOPE it does it for me. I think sp-wise it will. But stuff like having to see dudes jumping 6 feet in the air doesn`t excite me too much. Nor will I like it if I see 2 apposing tanks within spitting distances quaking each other.
Tanks and Helis are NOT CQB weaps.
If the game feels as unrestrictive as most of the games I have enjoyed, then that would be nice. But if I at all feel like some dude I don`t even care to know is trying to push my buttons.... this won`t be cool for me.
I am not one of these nOOb whiner types that if they see a dude all by himself, immediately whines that that dude is not a team player. I like to play in a group one moment, and the next just go it alone if the moment arises. Guess we will see soon at any rate.
Since the devs of BF nam didn`t have a single problem with the M60/LAW Class, I am sure we will find some problems as well with BF 2.
