| EA: Reductions needed to “make the company stronger” |
:: 26-01-09 04:34:32 |

Following rumour this morning that EA UK would be the next part of the publisher to face staff cuts, the firm’s issued a statement saying cuts are necessary in order to “make the company stronger,” but has refused to confirm location specifics. “By way of a reminder for you,” a rep told us, “we announced a six percent goal for headcount reductions in our earnings call on 30 October,” said the company this afternoon. “When we issued a warning on 9 December, we announced that the personnel cuts would be greater than six percent and just before the holidays, we provided the first details on that plan and said that it would include a cut of approximately ten percent, or 1000 people. “That’s where we are today. I cant give you more specifics on how many people in what locations, but we are making deep cuts in our cost structure to help make the company stronger.” By Mike Bowden |

BF2 mod: Project Reality v0.85 Mod Core
The Project Reality Mod and Black Sand Studios are proud to announce the official release of Project Reality v0.85!
Following the last release of Project Reality ( v0.8 ), we have been continuously working to improve multiple aspects of game-play, resolve bugs with also create new weapons and vehicles for you to play with. Thanks to the continued support from you, the community and our dedicated team of testers, we have successfully corrected many of the bugs and game-play issues in v0.8 with also adding several new features, tweaks and assets.
Two files are needed for play - the Core (mod) installation files and the Levels (map) installation files. Both are available i3D DOWNLOADS.
New Weapons
What first person shooter release would be complete without an array of new handheld toys and weapons to play with. Along with the overhaul of the weapon deviation system and weapon animations, the Insurgents, Chechen Rebels the new Taliban faction have recieved a large package from an unknown source of Kalashnikov rifles and other new toys to help them fight their guerilla war!
The new Russian Forces have also not been short changed with bringing in there new arsenal of weapons including there AK-74M Assault Rifles with underbarrel grenade launches and scopes attached!
Some USMC Soldiers are now equipped with the M68 aimpoint fitted onto there M16A4 assault rifles though they will not be as common as they are in the US Army, this should be a big help to the USMC when they get close up and personal with the enemy.
The Chinese Peoples Liberation Army (PLA) has also received a long awaited new Heavy Anti-Tank weapon, the PF-98 120mm Rocket Launcher. Unlike most other Heavy Anti-Tank weapons currently in-game, this weapon fires an unguided round. However, the PF-98 is lightweight and very easy to operate, as such it can be setup and fired in a much shorter time compared to its counterparts, giving it an unique edge.
- AK-47 (Insurgent, Taliban, Chechen Rebels)
- AK-47 Bayonet (Chechen Rebels)
- AK-74 Scoped, Ironsight, UGL (Insurgents, Taliban, Chechen Rebels)
- AK-74M Scoped, Ironsight and UGL (Russians)
- AKS-74U (Russians, Insurgents, Chechen, Taliban)
- Al-Quds RPK (Iraqi Insurgent, Taliban)
- Artillery IED (Iraqi Insurgent)
- Grenade Trap (Iraqi Insurgent, Taliban)
- Incendiary Grenades (All Conventional Factions)
- M16A4 with M68 (USMC)
- PF-98 Heavy Anti-Tank (PLA)
- RPG-7 Tandem Warhead (Russians)
- SA80 Bayonet (British)
- Trip Flare (All factions)
New Vehicles
With the addition of a new faction, comes new vehicles to compliment their infantry arsenal. We therefore bring to you the heavy assets of the Russian Forces, as well as a few other pieces of mobile equipment to bolster the other factions.
- BTR-60 APC (Russia and MEC)
- Gaskin Anti-Air Vehicle (MEC)
- Humvee Avenger Anti-Air Vehicle (USA)
- Logistic Trucks (All Conventional Factions)
- Lynx AH-7 Transport Helicopter (British)
- New HUD's for all Attack Helicopters
- New HUD's for all Russian vehicles
- T-72 MBT (MEC)
Logistics
Logistics will be a much bigger aspect of Project Reality in v0.85, with the new logistics system a good supply line will be a vital part for winning the battle. The new Logistics Trucks will be the main back bone to this system, as they are the only vehicle currently in v0.85 that can carry two supply crates, which are needed to crate a Forward Outpost. These Logistics trucks can be distinguished by the canvas on the back of them where normal transport trucks are open top. These also deploy some new Supply Crates which we have created are now faction specific so you can only can get ammo, supplies and kits from them if they are your own.
Vehicle Resupply & Repair
We have made drastic changes to the vehicle resupply and repair system in Project Reality v0.85. Land Vehicles can now only resupply at the Vehicle Depot located in or near your team's main base. You will need to drive your vehicle into the little parking space to replenish your ammunition. You can also repair at the Vehicle Depo, but if your vehicle becomes immobilised, then you will no longer be able to have a one man engineer team with only a adjustable spanner/wrench fix it, now you will be required to call in a logistics truck to help you with your repairs, which can then drop off a "repair station" that will then be able to repair the damages in the field at a very slow rate. This is to simulate a vehicle recovery system which is what would happen in real life if a vehicle got immobilized.

 Hello Heroes, Starting today you can register your interest in taking part in the next phase of the Battlefield Heroes Beta. If you already received a beta key for the earlier Beta phase, you are automatically signed up for this new phase. So you don’t need to sign up again. So, how do I sign-up? - To be able to sign up you must be logged in. If you don’t have an EA Account already, you can sign up for one here.
- Once you are logged in, head over to the sign-up form.
When does the next phase of the Heroes Beta start? - Keep an eye on this website for more Beta announcements in the coming weeks.
How do you decide who gets a Beta invite? Please keep in mind that we’ll be giving out Keys in the fairest way we can, which is as follows:
- Firstly, everyone still on the waiting list from the first Beta phase.
- Secondly, everyone else, including those who sign up on this page.
When you start the next phase of the Beta, how will I know if I’ve been accepted? - As soon as a Beta slot opens up for you, we’ll contact you at the email address you use to log into the Heroes website.
- As the Beta progresses we’ll be letting more people in, so don’t be put off if you don’t get a key immediately. We’ll be adding a lot of people to the beta, so you will get your turn.
What is a beta?
As we develop a new game it goes through lots of phases. The final ones are called “Beta” and “Launch”. Launch is when we open the game up for the whole world to play. Before we do that we need to ensure everything is ready. The Beta phase is like a rehearsal for the launch; where we test everything out with a small audience before allowing the rest of the world to play. In a beta you are likely to find lots of small things that don’t work as they should, we call these things “bugs”. We’ll need your help to find these bugs, so we can squash them. Goodman |

| Beste WWII game? |

First-person shooters waarin de Tweede Wereldoorlog centraal staan, zijn er genoeg. Talloze titels waarin de meest uiteenlopende gebeurtenissen uit de oorlog verhaald worden zijn reeds verschenen. Ongetwijfeld zijn WWII shooters een gerne apart: een stuk geschiedenis, een lading emotie en een realitische kijk vanuit de ogen van een soldaat heeft menig gamer al tot de verbeelding gesproken. Welke titel is het beste? Aan jou de keus, stem hier!De kandidaten zijn:  Call of DutyHet eerste deel van de Call of Duty reeks bracht de gameplay van de Tweede Wereldoorlog shooters in een nieuw stadium, met een hogere intensiteit en actie dan reeds bestaande games in het genre.  Medal of Honor: Allied AssaultDe eerste Medal of Honor titel die voor de PC verscheen, Medal of Honor: Allied Assault, betekende veel voor het WWII genre. Met behulp van een actievolle gameplay en cinematische situaties gaf de game tot dusver de beste voorstelling van D-Day in een video game.  Brothers In Arms: Road to Hill 30De eerste Brothers in Arms titel vertelt ons het waar gebeurde verhaal over de realiteit van de Tweede Wereldoorlog. Het spel laat de harde, ongecensureerde en emotionele kant van de oorlog zien.  Medal of HonorDe game die de openingszin vormde voor een overbekende WWII serie is Medal of Honor. De game was een van de beste WWII shooters van de originele PlayStation.  Wolfenstein 3DDé titel die het FPS genre heeft uitgevonden is absoluut het originele Wolfenstein 3D dat in 1991 verscheen.  Battlefield 1942DICE’ eerste online WWII shooter was Battlefield 1942 en vormde de openingszin voor een overbekende FPS reeks dat online zeer populair is. Hoewel de serie vele settings kent, was men begonnen met de Tweede Wereldoorlog.  Call of Duty 2De opvolger van het originele Call of Duty spel gaf de serie een nieuw impuls. Ervaar opnieuw de elementen van Call of Duty met betere graphics en een nieuw verhaal. Call of Duty 2 vormde het startsein voor de Xbox360 eigenaars.  Return to Castle WolfensteinEen late opvolger van Wolfenstein 3D is Return to Castle Wolfenstein. Niet-realistische scenes gemengd met WWII elementen vormden een unieke en boeiende titel.  Call of Duty: World at WarDe nieuwste titel binnen de Call of Duty reeks toont de donkerste en gruwelijkste momenten uit de Tweede Wereldoorlog op een manier zoals we nog niet eerder hebben gezien.  Brothers in Arms Hell's HighwayDe meest recente Brothers in Arms titel combineert nieuwe graphics en realistische settings tot een krachtige toevoeging aan het genre. De poll sluit over twee weken! |
