EA and Digital Illusions
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 would be looking forward to this, but EA and Dice decided to alienate a large percentage of game players by not supporting "older" video cards. While I can play graphically superior games like Doom 3 and Far Cry, I cannot play this graphically outdated game. With this ignorant move, they are driving me away from PC gaming for good. Why be FORCED to spend $300 on a video card (and another $300 for a new CPU/mobo) every 2.5 years when I can spend $300 on a console that lasts for five?
I am extremely bitter about this, but screw all of you.
Why spend that kind of money? Good question. How about for better games to play?
BTW, you don't need to spen $300 on a video card to run BF2. 9700Pro's can be had used for $100, or you can get a 6600Gt for around $160 to $170 shipped. You are way over stating the cost.
