Snow ruins Battlefield, Army of Two announcement

Snow ruins Battlefield, Army of Two announcement

The EA press event yesterday may have been cancelled because of snow, but Joe didn't totally waste the day.

It snowed yesterday and, while that was very fun and everything, it did cause a few problems for a few people. None of the bit-tech.net staff could get into the office for example, and an Electronic Arts press event Joe was supposed to be attending got cancelled completely.

A press event which promised to be most exciting too, with information about three new Need for Speed games, as well as a brand new, unannounced and console-only game from DICE, among other things.

Unfortunately though, the event got completely cancelled as not even the EA staff were able to make it to Electronic Arts HQ - though that hasn't stopped the rumours slipping out.

According to VG247 the projects that would have been announced would have been a brand new Army of Two sequel, possibly titled Army of Three, as well as a new Battlefield game from DICE. What DICE's next project is exactly is the topic of much speculation, with some circles sure it'll be the confirmed Mirror's Edge 2, while others expect a sequel to Battlefield: Bad Company - another console only game from the developer.

Electronic Arts has refused to confirm or deny any of the rumours however and is still hoping that the press event can be rescheduled in the future - but given that it's just started snowing again that doesn't seem all that likely.

We'll keep you updated on the announcements and be sure to bring you all the info we can when we do finally manage to burrow our way over to EA, but in the mean time you can share your own speculation and snow stories in the forums.

Aaaaah, i thought it was an article about a winter-warfare update for battlefield.

There's this marvelous invention called winter tyres that make travel possible even with a few measly centimeters of snow... ;)

Then again, I live in a middle europaen low mountain range, so it might be obvious only to me :D

Damn! I wish there was 20cm of snow falling over here, then I did not have to go to work because of the complete chaos on the roads it would cause. It would be fun to watching news all day of all extreme things happening because of it.

Couldn't get into work? Couldn't get into work?

Four inches of snow and this entire place goes to asterisks.

Yeah, not quite sure why a bit of snow causes so much havoc over here. Joe is in the picture, Relix has encased him in snow.

See, you shouldn't have moved to London!
Anyway, how about a life sized snowman?

Is the snow the reason that I couldn't access the main page yesterday? I ended up getting in through the forums and clicking on the article links.

DICE making another console only game? Ug.
I'm not sure how I would feel about a mirrors edge 2. I absolutely loved the first, but I'm not prepared to pay full price for a game that takes me 4 hours to complete.

When in the world is EA going to make a real sequel to Battlefield 2? (For PC).

Sorry, Joe, but the moment I opened the article I wondered why Relix was pictured.

..Army of 3?

That has to be a pisspoor joke on somebodies part.

However, yay for the possability of more mass murder and then a fist pound or air guitar!
