EA Announces Battlefield 2, Console Versions

Thanks to GameSpy for its interview with Electronic Arts exec Scott Evans regarding the official announcement of a PC sequel to the popular team-based FPS, Battlefield 1942, hot on the heels of the recent news of a separate PlayStation 2-based follow-up, Battlefield: Modern Combat. This title is "bringing modern-day warfare to the series as well as a completely new engine", and Evans notes: "Each side will bring military hardware to the battle appropriate to their nationality. For example, the Chinese forces have a really cool mix of Soviet and homebrew technology that much of the world knows nothing about." He ends by addressing bias concerns: "It's important to remember that Battlefield is politically neutral... It's not just a game about the U.S. versus a Middle Eastern coalition."

Really?

"It's important to remember that Battlefield is politically neutral... It's not just a game about the U.S. versus a Middle Eastern coalition."

Maybe not, but you can be pretty sure that most of the mods will be.

No more DC?

Ok.....I play bf1942 WAAAY too much, mostly DC. Since EA brought these guys on board, does that mean I will no longer be able to download DC for free?

Knowing EA, those bastards are probably looking for a way to charge for it.
