  Yep. Despite that this has been worked on since long before Quake Wars. (remember the DICE Sweden mention of working on a new title? Looks like it was adapted ot become a Battlefield game by EAs command)

    I think you're mistaken. The scans of PC Gamer's May issue state work on 2142 was started two weeks after the release of BF2 (21/6). That would place it roughly within the first half of July. What Splash Damage/id showed off at E3 in May was some spectacular ingame footage; it must have been quite a way into development given how much stuff they included.

      Which only makes me think they're going to charge $50 for what's really a glorified Mod.
