Return to the Pacific for More Intense WWII Combat the largest FREE official Battlefield download to date

You’ve blasted away in fierce and memorable battles for control of Wake Island, Iwo Jima, and the Philippine Islands. Later this summer, Digital Illusions and Electronic Arts will bring you back to the Pacific Theater with three upgraded WWII maps that take full advantage of the Battlefield Vietnam game engine. This new WWII Mod enhances the action of the Battlefield 1942 Pacific maps by adding realistic tropical landscapes, more detailed vehicles and kits, an awesome new weapon, and new character skin options. To top it off, it’s all free!

Re-mastered scenery brings island landscapes to life on Wake, Iwo Jima, and in the Philippines. Make your way through tangled vines, grass, and trees as you search out the enemy in these dramatic new settings. Dense overgrowth and streams influence the tactical situation on these islands like never before; the enemy cannot be seen easily, and the terrain challenges the maneuverability of both American and Japanese vehicles.

Detailed Vehicles and a Deadly New Weapon
The popular warships and vehicles from the original Pacific maps are back, and they look better than ever. Each has been completely rebuilt to take advantage of the Battlefield Vietnam game engine’s graphic capabilities. As before, the effective use of vehicles can shift the dynamics of the battle in your favor. This time, however, you can blare the Battlefield 1942 theme–or one of your own mp3’s–as you charge the enemy position!

Infantry weapons and kits have been upgraded with new animations, giving them the more realistic feel of those featured in Battlefield Vietnam. An awesome new weapon kit has also been added to the mix—the mighty flamethrower! Devastate enemy defenders as you clear a path for your team’s advance. Turn up the heat on those caught out in the open or manning artillery, and clear out bunkers and other enclosed positions.

Player Customization and Improved Gameplay

The WWII Mod includes character head and body skin choices–the same feature seen in Battlefield Vietnam. Now you can choose to be a salty, combat-experienced Marine, a staunch die-hard Japanese island defender, or a fresh-off-the-transport green recruit. All are rendered with stunning new graphics, escalating Battlefield’s award-winning realism. Furthermore, these soldiers have the ability to fire their weapons from open vehicle positions. With a rifle or rocket launcher in hand, you’re no longer just a silent passenger.

Other improvements include the ability to view a three-dimensional version of the in-game map and the capture timer. Activate the 3D map and it’s easy to spot your team’s positions and flags without distracting yourself from the battle. The capture timer provides important intelligence on flag status—you’ll know when territory is being contested, and exactly how long it’s going to take to liberate it.

The Islands Come Alive
The enhancements offered by the Battlefield Vietnam WWII Mod intensify the action in the Pacific. This comprehensive re-mastering of three of the most popular maps from Battlefield 1942 is a must-have for any fan of the Battlefield series. With the largest free official Mod ever, the Battlefield franchise has again proven itself to be the best in multiplayer arcade-style warfare.

Stay tuned to these pages for the coming of the Battlefield Vietnam WWII Mod.

Verder is er nog een interview over Battlefield 2;

[quote]Exclusive Interview with Battlefield 2 Producer Mike Doran

EAGAMES: Mike, tell us a little about yourself, your background, and how you came to work for Electronic Arts on the Battlefield franchise.

MIKE: I’ve been working at Electronic Arts for about four years now. I began in the testing department, working on various titles including the original Battlefield 1942. Once BF1942 had shipped, I was given the opportunity to join the Battlefield production team, working on every BF product since – from Road to Rome to Battlefield Vietnam.

EAGAMES: very cool, hey, rumor has it that there will be some sort of in-game communication. Not chat, but voice. Can you talk about this?

MIKE: There are several features in Battlefield 2 that are designed to make communication with your teammates and friends easier. One of the biggest new additions will indeed be VOIP support. I can’t go into specifics at this time, but the short answer is – yes, there will be VOIP in Battlefield 2.

EAGAMES: What sort of unlockables will Battlefield 2 have, if any?

MIKE: Battlefield 2 features a global persistent character growth system. It is important to note that the game is still skill based – a private can take out a general. As players rise in rank from Private to General, they are rewarded with unlocks and privileges which compliment their rank. We'll be revealing details about these rewards soon.

EAGAMES: Battlefield 1942 and Battlefield Vietnam were amazing team-based games. What’s being done in Battlefield 2 to heighten this experience?

MIKE: Enhanced teamplay is a huge focus for Battlefield 2. In one of my earlier responses I mentioned that there are several new features in Battlefield 2 that have been designed to promote teamwork and coordination. We’ve added small things like context sensitive radio commands – if you trigger the “enemy spotted” radio command while looking at a tank, your teammates and friends will see “Enemy tank spotted!”

But there are also bigger features, such as the squad and commander interface that allow a much greater deal of communication. For me, the most satisfying gameplay moments in previous Battlefield games are those “all out war” moments when there are multiple vehicles and players fighting over a front or a choke point. Unfortunately, in the current Battlefield games, these moments don’t happen as often as we’d like. With Battlefield 2, experiencing all out war is going to be much more evident.

EAGAMES: Are there going to be any unique weapons or special abilities that set Battlefield 2 apart from other games in the FPS genre?

MIKE: Because Battlefield 2 takes place in the modern era, there are quite a few new toys that we have been able to bring to the Battlefield. From laser designation to TV guided missiles to artillery strikes, there are quite a few new abilities for players to wage war with, not to mention some other goodies that we aren’t ready to reveal yet. Combine all of this with the great vehicle experience from the past Battlefield games, and Battlefield 2 really stands out from the pack.

EAGAMES: What can we expect to see in terms of online play? How many modes of play are there and can you tell us what they are?

MIKE: Battlefield 2 will up the player limit from 64 to 100 players. Conquest mode will make a return, and we have some other gameplay mode ideas that we are in the midst of playing around with. Look for more details soon!

EAGAMES: Ok, Mike, one last question. What can the non-online gamer expect to see in the single player experience?

MIKE: Battlefield 2 will feature an enhanced single player mode compared to the previous Battlefield games. Beyond this, we aren’t ready to release any details on single player.
