Eurogamer and EA to kill readers
Battlefield 2. Next Thursday.
Eurogamer and Electronic Arts are happy to announce that next week we're going to kill you all. Or, more likely, you're going to kill all of us.
Next Thursday, 21st July, between 7pm and 9pm, those of you who own Battlefield 2 are invited to join us for a 32 versus 32 game on an official EA European server, where the likes of Kristan, Tom, Rob and others will be beating each other up to gain control of a helicopter.
Eurogamer staff will be teaming up with the far more skilled EA's UK staff, and you lot are encouraged to band together and blow chunks out of us as much as you possibly can. We expect you're quite good by now.
If successful, it's something we hope to repeat in future - on Battlefield 2 and quite possibly other games that we've been secretly practicing for months and months in the hope of not looking like total n00bs.
Specific details will be announced on the day, and obviously there will be a certain amount of turnover on the server at intervals to accommodate the huge numbers of people who want to shoot us in the head. It should be a fun event, and we hope you'll pop along if you're around and help us all get our war on.

I have quite a l33t (ahem) rig and have had to turn the settings down to get a decent frame rate ...

Maybe they should work on fixing it before playing?
Either way, should be fun - Will the hotfix be ready by then?

No, that's a reeeeeeaaallly good comment in this 'current climate'. FFS, that very post is far more inappropriate. Get a grip, there is no relationship between that headline and unfortunate events elsewhere.

Demmit, you almost fooled me into playing ea crap.
btw "Gamers kill €A" or "€A against gamers" would be a better name.

I've got a swanky madonna headset too, so I can dish out a bit of trash talking as we wage a little war: perfect!

Nah, I'm sure of that, I have had the big slowdown due to textures being on high and only having a gig of ram (getting second gig soon). It's the problem that you get on 64 player maps where if a player is over 200 ping the whole map lags. I had that last night and the night before and the night before......
