Electronic Arts has announced that Battlefield 2: Modern Combat has shipped to stores nationwide on the Xbox 360 video game system from Microsoft. The first-ever next generation console installment of the Battlefield franchise drops players into the heat of battle on the high tech frontlines with breathtaking visuals, a new physics engine, environmental damage modeling, and an overhauled AI system. The Xbox 360 version includes all of the content from the Xbox version, plus the three new maps and four new vehicles from the "Warsome Booster Pack" released in December. Players will experience the full effect of the graphics upgrade with spent minigun shells raining down on them from passing helicopters, while bullets score the environment around them and exploding tank shells distort their vision. Battlefield 2: Modern Combat will continue the online mayhem started on the PlayStation2 computer entertainment system and Xbox videogame system from Microsoft which can be enjoyed by up to 24 players. Players can choose to fight for one of four military superpowers: the United States, the Chinese, the European Union, or the Middle East Coalition. The fully-featured single-player game highlights the innovative "Hotswapping" feature, allowing players to instantly take control of any soldier in their squad to stay in the middle of the action at all times. Players can also increase their rank and garner promotions that are tracked globally; all while unlocking Achievements in single-player and multiplayer.
