IGN has acquired some details regarding Battlefield: Modern Combat for the Xbox 2. Modern Combat will be a next-generation shooter based around the technology behind Battlefield 2 which is due out on the PC in June of this year.
First, here's the mission statement for Battlefield: Modern Combat: EA intends to "Make Battlefield Modern Combat a Top three console shooter title in CY05 in North America and Europe and to establish the successful Battlefield franchise on consoles." That's not a surprise, seeing as how EA is bold, ambitious and the series is already a hit.
Second, the Xbox 2/Xbox 360 version, due to ship at launch (November-ish), includes a host of sexy features. The offline stuff: The game includes a handful of new multi-screen spectator modes, offline cooperative and adversarial modes, plus HDTV 720p support and full screen anti aliasing. Sounds good to us! Not every one can access the Internet, so giving players the chance to play the game in co-op offline is sweet. Also, it's nice to see the 720p and anti-aliasing support taking affect.
