In the annual earnings report it released today, Battlefield 2 developer Digital Illusions CE (DICE) revealed that its flagship shooter won"t hit PCs until the end of the second quarter. "The release date of Battlefield 2 has now been set to June 2005," read the company"s financial report, which did not list a specific date. "This implies that Digital Illusions will not be making any game releases in the first quarter of the current year."
