Thats right kiddies!!! There is more proof out there that Doom 3 is right around the corner… Where you ask? Well…
QuakeCon.org has just posted that there WILL be a Doom 3 tourny!!!
DOOM 3 Inaugural Deathmatch Championship:
Yes, you read that correctly. DOOM 3 Deathmatch is coming to QuakeCon 2004, and there has never been a more level playing field. With DOOM 3 launching this summer, there won’t be anyone who has had time to practice or master the game, and almost any QuakeCon attendee has a chance to walk away with one of the exclusive DOOM 3 prizes. We’re not telling you what they are just yet, but let’s just say that they’re fast. Registration for this 128-player tournament will begin August 12, 2004 – the first day of QuakeCon.
You pee your pants yet? I did… I will be at QuakeCon to see this!!! [along with a few other members of Gamers Radio!]
The Call of Duty – United Offensive Expansion is set to come out in the fall of 2004… If you have yet to check it out in any way, stop by The Official Call of Duty website and check it out…
For people that have watched “Band of Brothers” you will really dig the preview clip of playing the 101st Airborne in the Battle of the Bulge…
We cant wait for this to come out!
Could it be true? Is this the real date that is making everyone all crazy about right now in just about every gaming forum you can find? Gamestop.com is quoted as saying “Official launch date of August 3rd, 2004 confirmed!“
Searching all over the place it is seeming that getting information from Activision and id Software is not resulting any any REAL proof. And the official Doom 3 website still says “Coming Soon“.
The most recent release date information we really have from Activision is here.
We are keeping a very close eye on this as we are all very excited about this game… More to come as soon as we find it!

Looks like EA and Digital Illusions have made the official announcement in regards to Battlefield 2. They mention some great features and have provided all of us with a couple screen shots to get us going on what looks to be a very impressive game.
Quote From EA:
Battlefield 2 features immense, richly detailed, destructible environments, from city streets to remote forests, in some of the most notorious hot spots around the world. Each map in Battlefield 2 adjusts in scale to support the number of players in the world, providing the ideal vehicle-to-player ratio and an optimized game play experience. Enhanced team play features allow players to enter the action on the front lines as part of a formal squad, or work behind the scenes in Commander Mode to direct the strategic assaults of their teammates. With in-game success, players increase their rank from recruit all the way to General and unlock awards, including new weapons, vehicle decals, medals, and more.
