REDWOOD CITY, Calif. –Lock and load, soldier… It’s time to prepare for all-out war on the modern battlefields of the world. Electronic Arts (NASDAQ: ERTS) announced today that the award-winning Battlefield franchise is coming to console for the first time with Battlefield: Modern Combat for the XBox. The title, which is currently under development for a planned fall 2004 debut, will be published and distributed by EA under the EA GAMES™ brand.

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 Xbox console. (Online play requires the Xbox console, a broadband connection,and an XBox LIVE Subscription). Voiceover communication is also supported via XBox Communicator. 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.

Not the best graphics, but the great gameplay/vehicles, and last but not least 24 players online makes up for it. My list of games this year is ESPN NFL Football 2005, Battlefield:MC, Halo 2, and Ghost Recon 2.:cheers:

You're right maxy but I'll play it, but Halo 2 will get about 75% of the playtime.

No way am I buying this pos2 port. I will stick with BF1942 & BFV and wait for BF2.

Hmm, Fable, Ghost Recon 2, RS3 : Athena's Sword, ESPN NFL 2k5 and Halo 2 means there's no way in hell I will even bother to rent this game - nope, not yet EA, but keep trying - and can you give us a REAL Battlefield game like Vietnam or 1942?

That looks horrible compared to Vietnam and even the aging 1942. They need to do some serious full screen AA on this game. The only thing this will have going for it is the voice chat, otherwise I'll stick with 64 players on the PC and 100 with next years BF2.

Yeah, I heard about that man 100 players online that some serious fighting right there, it's gonna be sweet. I agree that this doesn't look as good as any of the BF's on PC, but it's battlefield on Xbox! :hump:

why is the number of players on live so limited?

I would imagine most PC servers are being hosted from corporate offices, offering blazing fast T1-T3 connections. Its easy to turn a PC into a dedicated server.

With the console, most people have their gaming setup in there homes and can only offer a an upload that cable/DSL providers can offer.

Or maybe its the people that make PC games have better network coders :p

I dunno.

To be honest, Im just talking out of my ass and right now its making a lot of sense to me.

Which brings up the question, why the hell do we have to pay for Live? I still haven't found a single reason to justify $50 a year and the only reason I'm on for a second year is because they automatically charged my credit card for the next year. :cuss:

Well that explains why most games are fairly low in people, but what about people with t1-t3? Should they not be able to host a lot more? I don't understand why there is such a low cap put on player volume for games on xbl.

well, so does ghost recon and the gameplay was still awesome. who knows what this game can bring tho. i'll most likely look into it if it hypes me enough.

but mainly, i will be focusing on NCAA 2005 and ghost recon 2, and black arrow.

True, but it also looked that bad on the PC. BF1942 and especially Vietnam look much better than BF: MC.

This game has a lot of competition with better graphics and maybe at least the same comparable if not better gameplay... Like Black Arrow, Far Cry, and Men Of Valor... :p

BananaMan
05-17-2004, 10:28 PM
When is men of valor suppossed to be released? I'll probably check out far cry, even though I like military style shooters better(rs3,gr). But I think that I'll like this game more than black arrow, because I played the hell out of the first rs3 so i'm pretty much done with them for a while.

I'm not sure exactly when it will be out... All they said was sometime close to the end of this year. :confused:

Graphics are okay...

Of course not, but when you can get the same game with better graphics on a different machine, what are you going to go for?

There's no excuse for jaggied, low res textured games on the xbox anymore. There are launch games that still look better than the screenshots above. No excuse.

Exactly...Halo 2 and DOOM 3 are prime examples. It's beyond me why anyone would fork out 50 bones to pay for a game that a developer worked half assed on and then 50 bones to pay for a game that the developers put their heart and soul into.

I don't buy crap games anymore...those days are over.

Well Maximus, I think with all the great games coming out (Halo 2) a lot of people will wait for a price drop on this one.

Games like Halo2 and Doom3 arent going to have 100 players running around the battlefield.

You have to realize, with games like Battlefield you need to sacrafice some graphics for performance reasons.

I am a huge BF fan....but this is horrible. It looks like someone modded BF1942 very poorly and slapped a new sticker on it. I really don't see this game getting much attention either...not with all of the great looking and fun to play ones comming out this year. Even IF it does release early and then has a price drop...the price drop would happen right when Halo 2 is released. If these are not just Alpha screen shots then EA had better expect to loose some money on this one...

except how much can a factory full of blind - quadropalegic women and children on mainland China really cost anyway????

That's true, because thsi is the only live game that supports 24 players like this. I think it's worth it with all the vehicles alot more players than other games on live, it'll be sweet. :hail:
