X360 Battlefield 2 delayed

By Paul Loughrey Published 1 March, 2006

Just for a month though.

Bad news for trigger-happy gamers looking forward to the Xbox 360 version of Battlefield 2: Modern Combat - it's been delayed by a month, according to a post on the website of developer DICE.

The post reads: "The launch of Digital Illusions’ game Battlefield 2 Modern Combat for Xbox 360 will be in April 2006." So there you have it.

Presumably there's a little tweaking still to do, and the troops are probably going to need a little encouragement to step out into the fray again for a whole new audience. The plus side, of course, is that by the time the game does actually ship there will be bundles of Xbox 360s on the shelves - which means there's a much better chance of playing online against your friends and colleagues than some gobby, gun-obsessed 12-year old in Kentucky.

An exact launch date has yet to be confirmed, but we'll keep you posted.

    Good, March was too damn expensive.

    The link to DICE is off, leads to a domain parking thingamajig....

    It would have been a very bad idea for both companies concerned to release this and GRAW in close proximity.

  • PearOfAnguish #5 6 years ago

    Do PC users get to play against X360?

  • Furbs #6 6 years ago

    No, its a totally different game.

    "which means there's a much better chance of playing online against your friends and colleagues than some gobby, gun-obsessed 12-year old in Kentucky."

    I'd just like to point out how pointless and classless that statement was. As a 34 y.o. native of Kentucky, I think I've earned the right to be upset by asinine stereotypes such as this. Grow up Paul.......and leave the "witty commentary" to professionals.

    I think you missed the "euro" part of eurogamer.

    We dont like the colonies, its a european and british thing.

  • admir #9 6 years ago

    i dont now why some people call BF2 for x360 a next gen game.

  • neosalad #10 6 years ago

    how come i've seen a person on my friends list on xbox live playing BF2 ??
    could it be pre-release version?

  • Furbs #11 6 years ago

    admir, Ghost Recon is coming out on the Xbox1, does that mean GRAW on the 360 isnt "nexgen"?

    And anyway, can you define for us all what "nexgen" is? I'd say anything which runs on a console which is still generally considered to be still "nexgen" makes it so.

    No, I'm very aware of the "euro".....but that's no excuse for ignorance and stupidity. Or is it?

  • Furbs #13 6 years ago

    THWIP, are you saying in the whole of Kentucky there are no 12 year old gobby gun obsessed kids? Unless you can honestly answer "no" then its a fair comment. I certainly wouldnt want to play one.

    Its not a stereotype, its a specific example.

  • Bumbuliuz #14 6 years ago

    It´s one of the few times Im happy that a title is delayed. March has too many 360 games I need to get ;)

    @THWIP

    So.. what you're saying is you *don't* have a banjo, overalls and 4 green teeth in your head that make you whistle while singing about mud and pigs? :)

  • t8yman #16 6 years ago

    IW and activision take note.

    Game not ready = Game not released

    A Battlefield 2 delay? I'm shocked.


    "how come i've seen a person on my friends list on xbox live playing BF2 ??

    No, you saw the XBox version. This is the XBox 360 version.

  • PearOfAnguish #18 6 years ago

    I'd say anything which runs on a console which is still generally considered to be still "nexgen" makes it so.

    I'd say anyone who uses the word nexgen and isn't joking needs to be bludgeoned to death with a large, blunt object. Like an Xbox.

    It's obvious he's not really an American, he can read and write.
