EXTRALIFE – By Scott Johnson

Battlefield 2 is heading to the stores later this month, but we couldn’t wait to get our hands on it. Thankfully, EA was kind enough to oblige us by sending us the newest and latest preview version of the game.

Needless to say, we installed it as fast as our DVD drives could spin, started it up, and kicked the treads on some of the nicest looking tanks (and jeeps, and planes, and helicopters, and…you get the idea) to appear in a game and participated in some wild and woolly multiplayer combat with a bunch of EA’s European testing team.

This was a really fun podcast…we tackle some hot issues with a whole group of guys! Special thanks to Andrew, Brian, Obsidian, and Mike for making what I think was an great show…had loads of fun. Get the usual podcasting feed right here. Or you can download directly the 12mb MP3 file here.

So you guys have seen the comic, and probably have read the news, so what are your thoughts? I am a little torn…as both a heavy Mac and PC user, I guess this can be seen as a strong move for the growing Apple brand these days, and probably bodes well for the powerbooks needed a better heat fix, without losing form-factor. Anyway, your thoughts? Not looking for a bash party…just your honest geek thoughts on the matter.

You just start typing your zip and BAM! The zoom effect is pretty neato. Check it!
