EA has delayed BF 2 for a few more months and instead of aiming for a March release now looks at a release-date somewhere in EA's first fiscal 2006 quarter (April-June 2005).

well i am pretty pissed by this, i could understand a delay for a couple weeks for bug fixes but this is pure EA shit, a couple months? what is that? i hope this doesnt become EAs version of HL2 delays

Well im kinda in a catch-22 emotion

a) They could be putting it off to make or a better product which is admirable
or
b) They just want to start off with a big product first quarter (most likely)

Cool, more time to play WoW. I am glad I have a good game to play to pass the time.

Frig, I wanted to post this. i is teh sad.

Soyuz · 01-26-2005, 03:00 AM

As long as it'll come out someday and they add more cool stuff I don't mind.

mrhahn · 01-26-2005, 07:15 AM

Oh well, gives me more time to drag my computer (kicking and screaming) into the 21st century.

Caslon · 01-26-2005, 09:55 AM

I'm confused. EA buys DICE..EA is known for pressuring game developers to get game out and patch later....DICE announces BF2 delayed 2 months.

EA maybe telling DICE to hold off on release so EA can present shareholders a good expectation on
EA's next quarterly expectations?

Just kidding..sorta.

Monkeyfeng · 01-26-2005, 11:26 AM

come on, its not that bad. at least that means they are making the best out of it. i would rather have delays than a buggy game.

Fishfinger · 01-26-2005, 11:52 AM

Maybe it will come out in the winter when the nites are drawing in

grim reaper · 01-26-2005, 11:53 AM

This is excellent news. Thye can delayit for aslong as it takes to make it polished.

Do you remeber just how crap 42 was when it came out.

I think the reason they are delaying it is purely for financial reasons. But if that means they get extra time to work on the game then i'm happy with that.

I hope you do know they're just going to play poker till it comes out.

Dick_Justice · 01-26-2005, 02:37 PM

My guess would be that EA has a similar title up its sleves and dosn´t want it to interfere with the BF 2 release.

Next to that I´m quite happy about this since I won´t be playing BF 2 before August 2005 anyway...

maverick514 · 01-26-2005, 03:21 PM

I'm pretty happy, I can't play it until aorund mid May anyway.

I totally agree. Gotta have a great start to the 2006 earnings right? Right? Anyone? Ferris?

Caslon · 01-26-2005, 05:55 PM

Kook? whatever. Not used to that. You have the stars.

BF1942 to BF2 might get too jazzed, I'm not discounting that.

It's happened before.

Fishfinger · 01-26-2005, 06:03 PM

Hope they get it right instead of releasing it unfinished like HL2

Deinos · 01-26-2005, 07:15 PM

....or unfinished and never completed like Battlefield Vietnam.

Caslon · 01-26-2005, 07:37 PM

Damn..I never played BFVN, Road to Roam yes, some Secret Weapons of WW2.

I never saw a lot of servers offering up BFVN.

I'm not doubting it had its merits.
