21st? Does anyone remember when a game used to go gold, it meant it was coming out in like; a week?

Some games get to stores within 2 weeks of going gold, others make it to the net first

Games like BF2 will obviously have a longer delay between going gold and hitting retailers since they're in such high demand.

The great thing about Battlefield is its ability to handle massive numbers of players (64+) and still add bots to the mix. It actually looks like a real battle.

I've done this for about 3 years now with World War II On-Line. There can be well over 64 guys in one battle. many times it's over 100. Now THAT's a battle.

I am still hoooked on Battlefield Vietnam. BF2 is bittersweet for me because I still really like BFV. Oh well. I will certainly be playing BF2........

BF2 is going to suck to alot of people because they removed CTF Game Play, and CTF is pretty much what i see going on nowdays.

i dug bf1942 but didnt care for vietnam. that leaves me with a 50/50 chance of liking it. i'll probably pirate it then if i like it buy it, if not send it to the recycle bin.

Well I have already preordered this. It's definitely too bad about no ctf but maybe their will be a good mod for it. I'm hoping so as I play alot of bf42 ctf.

CTF games always were a small minority in BF42/BFV. I have been playing BF42/BFV/the DC mod for over 1 1/2 year almost exclusively and on a near-daily base, and never have seen many of them. Why run after a single flag if you've got 3 to 5 bases to capture and defend?

Didn't like BFV though. They put all the problems back in that had been resolved in BF42 after a lot of user complaints, and added some. Good thing that the DC team has been hired to help in making BF2.

So I am really looking forward to BF2. I haven't played any other game in my life so intensely for such a long period as BF42 and the DC mod. For me personally it's the greatest game I've ever played (though there are a few other extremely good games).

My personal top five are:

BF42 + DC Mod
Operation Flashpoint
Half Life (1)
Deus Ex (1)
Descent (2)

BF1942 + Forgotten Hope = r0x0r

CTF, is a big hit for alot of people. im one of them. because it requires a good sense of teamwork while trying to cap a flag.

alot of defense because you got hoards of enemy knowing exactly where you are and what your doing with your name flashing across the entire map!
