Spring is starting to get closer and with the advent of a new month comes the somber news that Battlefield 2 won't make it in March after all. Modern Combat is now shooting for an April release, and hopefully if Microsoft can follow through with the whole restocking thing, we might see more consoles readily available around that time as well.
The Xbox 360 is no stranger to amended launch dates for games. We've already heard of The Godfather getting delayed, which was also originally slated to hit the scene this month. Both it and Dead Rising have been knocked back to sometime this summer. An obvious guess is that developers are using these setbacks to spruce up the next-gen titles. No one likes a rushed product, but it also means gamers are going to have high expectations come launch day (as in prune the multiplayer lag, please).

I must say I could care less about the delay on this game because it has let me down big time, I saw the demo of the 360 version and was far from impressed.... I felt the PC version was so much better that this just seems like a downgrade... but whatever, I guess if your on xbox 1 this will be good for you, but if you played the PC version on something with some power this version does not really seem to live up to the hype.... I mean what's with the shooting, you don't even see the shoots anymore they just added a dot to your scope to let you know your shooting... that kind of corner cutting is the worst.
With games now costing 60 bucks - EA i'm done... I think i'll just get back to my PC these games are seriously letting me down.

That's because they don't want to be overshadowed by Recon. Think about it....pay $60 for a new game or $60 for an updated game that's already been played to death....Push it back 1 month to let the frenzy for Recon die down.

I don't know, King. The gameplay trailer I saw of BF2 looked better than GRAW.

Unless either side drops the ball, I will be picking up both of them. I am looking for a more refined experience with the 360 version of BF2: MC however. Racking up the hours on the current xbox version, I see a few things that have to change.

So right post 3. GRAW is all over the web and it seems that anyone looking for a FPS is getting that first and foremost.
I am personally looking forward to FarCry. I passed it over on PC and Xbox because I was pretty sure it would be out on 360 shortly after launch.
GRAW will have to play different than the first 2 for me. I know that GR has a huge backing and will sell a lot of the systems that are on their way to stores now.
