Battlefield July 2007 Newsletter

[Spawndemon]

Although it is a little bit late again, EA has sent out July's Battlefield newsletter which covers four topics. Take a look:

• Highway Tampa Map Ready to Roll
• Dog Tag Challenge II Results
• The Intel Extreme 25
• New Newsletter!

EA/DICE should really clear things up with these downloads.

ummmm Why would an "official" newsletter be under this terrible url?? "http://anon.doubleclick.edgesuite.net/anon.doubleclick/cms/ElectronicArts/EAGames/2007/349839/Jul_07.html"
Someone needs to verify this stuff before I install.

Both actually.

Did that link come from an official source? Sure looks fishy to me. Then again, you never know with EA. They do crazy stuff, like announce patches on the Spanish EA site, but not the main site, so...

Any word on BF: Bad Company? Is it coming for PC?

Is it coming, at all? Last I heard they had shifted focus to some other non-Battlefield title.

It says a lot about the company's communication policy doesn't it. Releasing out of date information in the month after the published date.

[nemes1s3000]

Bad Company is set to come out in 2008, but only for consoles.

[F4F]

Bad Company is set to come out in 2008, but only for consoles.

Why not Bad Company on PC? The backbone of the BF community are on PC! Do you have anything in the pipeline for BF? We want and we are very hungry for real news!

[nemes1s3000]

Well, rumor has it -- BF2 won't recieve any more expansions/booster packs, but as for 2142, it'll be recieving one final expansion pack or booster pack. Bad Company is set to come out sometime early 2008, and BF3 late 2008.

2/4 are true.

Believe me, 2142 will get another expansion, EA thrives on expansions.

So did anyone confirm this is even an official news release? It's a very odd URL for a news release about Battlefield.. you'd think they'd use official EA sites for this.
