Digital Illusions game series Battlefield is coming to the PlayStation 2. The game, thats going to be called Battlefield: Modern Combat, is planned to be released fall 2004. The publishers are Electronic Arts.

-It's a natural way in our way of designing the trademark Battlefield and we see the game Battlefield: Modern Combat as a spring to the next generation of Playstation, thats released in 2006, Patrick Söderlund says, under Digital Illusions.

Battlefield: Modern Combat is a multiplayer game, and can be played with up to 24 players at a time over the internet. For this you'll need a Playstation 2, a broadband internet connection, a memory card and an internet adapter.

Battlefield: Modern Combat is developed by Digital Illusions Göteborg (Sweden) and its time is modern. You will be able to have more then 30 vehicles and 70 weapons.
The teams it will include are: China, USA and a new middleeast coalition. The players can communicate via a USB headset.

During spring 2003 three new deals was made with Electronic Arts, one of them being Battlefield: Modern Combat.

Battlefield: Modern Combat is for Playstation 2 and is going to be sold as a fullprice game for around 50USD. Electronic Arts is distrubuting and publishing the game. It's planned for release around fall 2004

Will it work on a console, or will it suffer like every other FPS game with a bad control system?
