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.
Define "behind the curve?" Since when did you have to max out games to be able to enjoy them? Everyone is saying I can get a Radeon 9700 for less than $100. Why only take such a baby-step towards a full upgrade? And more importantly, why the hell should I spend $100 to buy a card to play a game that looks worse than games (Doom 3, Far Cry, HL-2) I can play with my *current card*?! If this game actually looked better than any of those I would understand it.
Yes I'm very stubborn, but if iD, Valve, and Crytek can do it, why can't EA? But forced obsolescence just because it's time? To paraphrase Michael Bolton, why should *I( change? They're the ones who suck.
