Bf2 New Patch + Maps

[Hammer]

In a world exclusive event, on Friday the 20th of June, a massive bombshell was dropped on netGameRadio's 'The Inside Battlefield Show'. In an exclusive world first soaring interview, it was confirmed that on Monday, the 23rd of June, to coincide with Battlefield 2's third birthday, gamers will see an announcement regarding a new patch coupled with exciting original maps.

The interview was directly with John Hargelid, a Live Producer from DICE, Sweden, who confirmed that support for Battlefield 2 is not over, and that an announcement regarding a possible new patch and maps will be announced on Monday. The question that was directly answered included references to a patch, maps, and gaming modes.

Whilst 'The Inside Battlefield Show' has been, to date, a local production for the value of our listener base in Australia and New Zealand, netGameRadio received world wide gaming press attention with the release of this information. Planet Battlefield, Total Gaming Network, GameTrailers, BF2s, BFPodCast, Gamespot, i3d, and local ISP Internode, are all talking about our recent interview with DICE, and eagerly awaiting the announcement on Monday.

Some of these mediums have also hosted the file locally and in their own audio streaming server, with key references pointing to the interview. A BF2s member has also created a <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U7gM9PhU4Tk" target="_blank">YouTube</a> link for people wanting to hear the most important snippet of the night.

This download has now reached, in excess, of over 920 downloads on nGR's local server, not to count all the views and downloads from the fore-mentioned external sources. It's quite possible that the interview could have now reached to the tens of thousands of Battlefield 2 fans. This would make, this particular Battlefield 2 specific media interview file, Australia and New Zealand's most sought after and requested media file in the shout-casting industry.

It was apparent that netGameRadio's download servers were being hit extremely hard, during the spread of this news, when we had to fall back to our emergency file host provider in order to cater for the mass downloads.

Both RDNx (netGameRadio Managing Director) and johnny_sisko (Business and Marketing Manager), have been completely blown away by the acknowledgment of our dedication to Battlefield gaming, not only from DICE by giving us this world first exclusive, but by the communities extremely positive response to our ventures.

This media attention puts nGR on the world map, as we continue to push forward to be at the fore-front of information and entertainment for the online gamer.

Nothing about the new patch on EA's site yet.;

Wouldn't expect anything until after lunchtime or there abouts as they are a few hours behind in the US. Hopefully it will add abit more to the base game rather than one of the expansions.

A nice carrot, but I wonder how long the stick is... I think they're just pinging interest in the light of the relatively growing numbers of the one or two COD'gers out there...

Really hope they don't leave it too long.
