magik Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 Theres some good news and theres some bad news; the bad news first: Battlefield 2: Modern Combat Delayed Electronic Arts was already hesitant to put a definitive release date on the 360 version of upcoming war shooter Battlefield 2: Modern Combat, and now developer DICE has officially announced the game will not be released before April this year despite many previous speculations on a release date of March 14th.Directly from the press release on their site: The launch of Digital Illusions? game Battlefield 2 Modern Combat for Xbox 360 will be in April 2006. The game?s versions for Playstation 2 and Xbox were launched in November 2005. Battlefield 2 Modern Combat for Xbox 360 will be sold all over the world at full price, approximately 59.90 USD. SourceAnd now the good newsGhost Recon Advanced Warfighter coming early! Fresh off the heels of the GRAW Paintball event (more information coming tomorrow, including hands-on Multiplayer action) we've just received word that Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter (GRAW) has had a release date shift again. This time, however, us Xbox 360 owners will be getting our hands on it on March 10th (next week!).The Current-gen Xbox version will follow a week after, with the PS2 version coming March 31st. Those waiting for the title on PC will have to wait untill Q2 2006 (summer) - even more reason to buy an Xbox 360. Source Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LunarFalcon Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 I thought GRAW was coming out 3/7 - guess that's what I get for reading rumor sites. Oh well, a few more days won't hurt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJC Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 Fine by me, I can't wait for GRAW! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MGS4-SS Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 Guess I'll have to wait for BF2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyLarry Veteran Posted March 1, 2006 Veteran Share Posted March 1, 2006 Guess I'll have to wait for BF2. Same here. I am definitely looking forward to trying BF2 out on the 360. I guess a month delay is not all that much. Will give me more time to play GRAW I suppose. It also stops me from spending 120$ in a matter of two weeks on games, so that is a positive too.

LunarFalcon Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 You mean 15 friends... lol... Well, I was hoping one would cover my copy ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quick Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 Damn, you scared me there... i thought the first news was about GRAW. Can't wait till the 10th! I would pre-order but i guess going to the store on the 10th and picking one up i will get my hands on it much quicker right? Or do online pre-orders get to you first somehow? Definately will get BF2 for 360 once its out, I can't wait on that one since i have the PC version already and GRAW should keep me busy no doubt :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magik Posted March 1, 2006 Author Share Posted March 1, 2006 Eh, I'm not preordering, just gonna go to the store and pick it up on the 10th. Luckily I don't have class on Fridays! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of people have been saying that their local stores are selling on the 8th, so I'll definitely check it out then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acezo Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 I'm really wanting to get this, FN3, and Oblivion, but I'm really having trouble justifying spending $180 on games in a month and a half :o.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Konstanov Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 Oblivion and GRAW will absorb your live. So no need for FN3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acezo Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 Oblivion and GRAW will absorb your live. So no need for FN3. Thing is, I'm already hooked on FN3, and it isn't even my copy :pinch: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magik Posted March 5, 2006 Author Share Posted March 5, 2006 I just read my local Circuit City flyer, they said they are selling GRAW this Thursday. Maybe gaming stores are getting it Wednesday? Other than that, all I see is Thursday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
