The next PC game in Electronic Arts' Battlefield series is slated to debut in the pages of Computer Gaming World soon. The issue about to reach subscribers -- which already features a world exclusive on Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic 2 -- promises another world exclusive in the coming issue. Issue 240, July 2004 (which should arrive just in time for E3) will lead with an in-depth preview of Battlefield 2.
That's a tentative title, of course. The game isn't a direct follow-up to Battlefield 1942 or Battlefield: Vietnam. Instead, it jumps forward to the world of modern warfare. The sequel will feature the latest in modern small arms, heavy weapons, and fighting vehicles -- M-4 carbines with IR scopes; M-60 machineguns with steadying bipods; M-1 tanks with reactive countermeasures; and of course, much more.
