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.
Finally, they've made it way more exclusive then it needs to be by not taking the time to include Geforce 4 support, one of the most used cards by casual gamers, and a card that can play the likes of Half-Life 2 of Doom decently.
I think you are very confused. The game requires a minimum of a Geforce 3. It DOES support a Geforce 4.
As for SP... Dice have ALWAYS made it known that SP in the battlefield series is an afterthought. It is an MP game by default. Going to broadband only is a step in the right direction. Anyone expecting to play online games with a dial-up connection is just plain foolish these days.
Edit: Well isn't that interesting... Future Shop lists the minimum as an FX5700, while Best Buy lists it as a Geforce 3. According to EA's support site, you are correct, a 5700 minimum which makes little sense considering the ATI minimum for the game is an 8500.
