EA Announces Two New Battlefield Titles

Electronic Arts may have pushed some games back in the face of financial woes, but the Swedish-developed Battlefield franchise is apparently alive and kicking. On Thursday, the company announced Battlefield: Bad Company 2, along with a hold-over release: Battlefield 1943.  

Like the first Bad Company, the second iteration will take place in modern times, tracking the B Company through “snowy mountaintops, dense jungles and dusty villages.” It will use the same Frostbite engine as the first, and appear on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 when it debuts this coming winter.

Battlefield 1943 returns to the original WWII formula with a strictly multiplayer romp through the Pacific theater, including Wake Island, Guadalcanal and Iwo Jima. Given its summer release date, EA has pitched it as a hold over for players waiting for Bad Company 2.

"Bad Company 2 takes everything that players liked in the original and ups the ante – more vehicles, more destruction and more team play,” said Battlefield executive producer Karl Magnus Troedsson, in a statement. “Battlefield 1943 is a new take on a blast from the past classic coming to life with brand new technology that we’re eager to get into players hands."

The rollout comes with a few features that are genuinely hard to argue with.

Marshall launches Acton IV and Stanmore IV

Marshall has refreshed two of its most popular wireless speakers. The company has officially unveiled the Acton IV and Stanmore IV, bringing a series of meaningful upgrades that go beyond simply making them louder. While improved bass and cleaner sound are part of the package, Marshall is also making a welcome push toward repairability, allowing owners to replace several external components instead of replacing the entire speaker.

Better sound, smarter design

I was skeptical of clip-style open earbuds. After trying my first pair, I don’t want to go back
No pressure, no plugged-up feeling, no fatigue. After months of all-day wear, open-air audio earclips have earned a permanent spot in my routine.
Baseus Bowie MC2 earclip earbuds.

I am not what you would call an audiophile. I don't obsess over terms like LDAC and DSEE upscaling. For me, they're just another utilitarian gadget to get the job done. Somewhere along the way, however, I stopped judging earbuds purely on how they sound and started paying closer attention to how naturally they fit into an ordinary day.

So much of this category now chases bass, noise cancellation, and a spec sheet full of features that comfort has quietly become an afterthought. I recently got a chance to try the Baseus Bowie MC2, my first pair of earclip-style earbuds. It came as a revelation for me. I picked them up from Amazon at $40, so it wasn't a big hit on my wallet either. The leap of faith, I'd say, was well worth it.
