Le blitz d’informations sur Battlefield 2 continue, avec cette fois-ci le communiqué de presse d’Electronic Arts. Passons sur la langue de bois de merde pour aller directement à l’essentiel :
- Décors destructibles
- Environnements détaillés
- Possibilité de former des escouades
- Système de récompenses (à la Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory) permettant d’obtenir de nouvelles armes, etc.
- Pénétration des balles dans les matériaux différente selon l’objet touché
- Possibilité de jouer à plus de 100 sur le même serveur
Sont également confirmés :
- Un nouveau moteur graphique, un nouveau moteur physique
- Plus de 30 véhicules
- 3 camps : les USA, la Chine, une coalition du Moyen-Orient
C’est étrange : malgré la possibilité de jouer à plus de 100 en même temps et de détruire les décors, EA ne parle pas d’un nouveau netcode.[–SUITE–]Le communiqué de presse :
Move out soldier! Electronic Arts (NASDAQ: ERTS) and Digital Illusions today announced that development is underway on the sequel to the award-winning Battlefield 1942 PC game. Battlefield 2, scheduled for release in spring 2005, moves the franchise forward in time to invade the high tech frontlines of modern warfare. Powered by an all new game engine, Battlefield 2 brings the intensity and excitement of its predecessors, Battlefield 1942 and Battlefield Vietnam, 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 to engage in major conflicts with over 100 players in some of the largest online battles on the PC.
Battlefield 2 features immense, richly detailed, destructible environments, from city streets to remote forests, in some of the most notorious hot spots around the world. Each map in Battlefield 2 adjusts in scale to support the number of players in the world, providing the ideal vehicle-to-player ratio and an optimized game play experience. Enhanced team play features allow players to enter the action on the front lines as part of a formal squad, or work behind the scenes in Commander Mode to direct the strategic assaults of their teammates. With in-game success, players increase their rank from recruit all the way to General and unlock awards, including new weapons, vehicle decals, medals, and more.
Additionally, Battlefield 2 showcases an all-new game engine and physics system to bring the modern battlefield to life like never before. The new material penetration feature measures weapons’ ability to fire through barriers based on their composition and players will need to know the difference between concealment and cover in order to survive.
