Video Gaming News - April 2004
Foster City, CA (April 19, 2004) - Electronic Arts announced today
that their Battlefield franchise is coming to consoles with Battlefield: Modern
Combat for the PlayStation 2. The title is currently planned for a fall 2004
release.
From EA:
The first-ever Battlefield console installment will drop players into the
heat of battle on the high tech frontlines, entering a new modern era of combat
with more firepower and new expansive environments. Armed with the latest modern
weaponry, players can take control of over 30 vehicles, including tanks,
helicopters and fast attack vehicles, to engage in major conflicts with up to 24
players in some of the largest online battles on the PlayStation 2 console.
(Online play requires the PlayStation 2 console, a broadband connection, memory
card, and network adaptor for the PlayStation 2). Voiceover communication is
also supported via USB headset. Players will choose to fight for one of three
military superpowers: the United States, the Chinese, or the newly formed Middle
East Coalition.
Developed by Sweden-based Digital Illusions, Battlefield: Modern Combat
features large and detailed environments, from city streets to remote forests,
in some of the globe’s most notorious hot spots, allowing players to engage in
multiplayer battles that could be ripped straight from tomorrow’s headlines.
Battlefield: Modern Combat also includes over 70 state-of-the-art modern weapons
and advanced weapon systems, including heat-seeking missiles and laser
designated bombs. Additionally, with in-game success, players increase their
rank and garner promotions in a persistent online world.
