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.
I did the chair thing after the second attempt. It works, I wait until the big fat guy is outside the second door, open the first, wail on him with the chaingun, and watch him fall, but when I eventually step outside I kept dying instantly by guys I couldn't see. Two or three thwaps would kill me before I could even locate a target with the binoculars.
And, jaded as I may be, FEAR multiplayer is complete garbage, at least in the beta form. Garbage, among the worst I've ever played. BF2 was great fun for a short period of time, FEAR blew from the first instance. I've said it in a few dozen threads already, so I won't repeat, but it mostly has to do with weapons being overpowered, everyone dying before they know they're being shot at, and endless cycles of killing the guy that spawned before you by killing him in the back while he's reloading only to be shot in the back by the guy that spawned after you while reloading, only to have him killed by being shot in the back while he's reloading, etc.
