Electronic Arts and Digital Illusions today announced that development is underway on the sequel to Battlefield 1942. Battlefield 2 will move the franchise out of World War II and the Vietnam eras into modern warfare.
Battlefield 2 will be powered by an all-new game engine, and players will choose to fight for one of three military superpowers: the United States, China, or the newly formed Middle East Coalition. Players will be armed with the latest modern weaponry, and 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 will feature 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 team mates. 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.
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.
Battlefield 2 is scheduled for release in spring 2005.
