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 could go on... It's really good. I've never found leaning around corners to be much use in deathmatch, however in this game lighting is something you can use to your advantage and I lean around corners a lot in hopes of nailing someone.
You will die quickly and often, this isn't the style of game where one player can run around grabbing health packs and stay alive for a long time, you will die, a lot. Some weapons seem overpowered like the machine gun, just point in the general direction and you'll probably nail someone. But after you get used to the fast and furious pace it becomes a lot of fun.
I agree. Overpowered or not I still have a ball with it. Its simple deathmatch, people need to stop overanalyzing and enjoy it for what it is. If you don't like it, there are a literally hundreds of other less over-the-top games available.
