Assault Store Shelves with Battlefield 2 for the PC announces that DICE's
shooter sequel is beginning to deploy:
REDWOOD CITY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 21, 2005--Get to the chopper! Electronic Arts (NASDAQ: ERTS - News) and Digital Illusions today announced that Battlefield 2(TM) has begun to ship to retail outlets for the PC. Powered by an all new game engine, Battlefield 2 brings the intensity and excitement of its predecessors, the award-winning Battlefield 1942(TM) and Battlefield Vietnam(TM), into the modern era with the latest, most technologically advanced vehicles and weapons systems available to man.
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.
We played for a few hours the other night in a squad of 5 fully communicating and it was just friggin AWESOME!! Is that server 64 player?
The Tactical gamer demo server was set up for 64 players. Last nights community game had about 50 on from 9pm to midnight EDT. Server rules are brutally enforced at Tactical Gamer for all of the games that are played in the community so there isn't a lot of room for frag monkeys (I play CS:S there a lot). It's all about the team play and cooperation. They've been pretty forgiving to me while I learn the ropes. And the server rules for BF2 are still being worked out.
If you want to take your game to a cooperative/competitive level I recommend the TG community or something like it for BF2. The game is just absolutely brilliant when it's played the way it should be.
Beamer, try gaming with a community of like minded players. You really wont go back. The TG CS:S servers are what got me hooked on the community. There's nothing like popping into a new server and hearing, "OKay guys, here's the plan." and then seeing people follow through with it. As for BF2, like I said, public play and community play make TWO different games.
