I've heard some sources ***** about they like more "realistic" games, but i'm not sure how they define that...come-on, when you have to give the game away for free and add hokey kill messages and what not then why even bother?

Well I am not quite sure, but since the video quality is horrible you cant really tell, I am hoping they have upgraded the graphics a little bit. But I do think you are right about a bf2 remake, with more online community features that is.

Re: Battlefield Online Announced in South Korea

Imagine BF2 with a Combat Arms style HUD, that's what I'm picturing. So, how much for the G36E and DAO-12?

Re: Battlefield Online Announced in South Korea

Copyright lasts for the lifetime of the author plus 75 years. I'm not sure what that means when a company owns the copyright, but whatever the case may be, it's definitely not out of copyright yet.

I love Google Translate, though. It's so funny.

+20 rep to anyone who can properly and accurately translate the announcement for us (since none of our staff actually speak Korean).
