FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE


European Battlefield Command Opens new Campaign

Saturday the 5th of January marks the beginning of a new campaign for European Battlefield Command (EBC).


EBC is a free and well known player friendly online Battlefield 2 Based tournament, that was started by community veterans Jery, Izz, And Hickman who met each other at 21CW.
Their intention was to create a fun place in Europe to play a military style organized round of massive 30vs30 BF2, away from public chaos.

Today, after 8 campaigns, EBC has become a firm bunch of friends and players that all contribute in their own way to the community. EBC is however always looking for new friends who share the same idea of online-gaming.

After playing several mods, of which many home made, the BC staff has this time decided to revisit Point Of Existence 2 (POE2). This well known mod, will put the two teams, NATO and Ukraine, in the line of fire. Quoting from our news release:
"At 06:00 Eastern European Time a renegade bunch of Ukrainian Forces stormed the main Government buildings in Kiev and the port of Sevastopol taking control of the Russian Black Sea Fleet. As yet no news as to why these troops have carried out these actions, but reports from inside Ukraine claim these troops are part of the Ukraine army under the command of Gen. Vladimir Stokie who have just returned from active service in Kosovo working with the UN"

Very soon Gen Stokie and Gen Physicist will need YOUR help to defend their cause. So if you are tired of BF2 chaos, love a good structured game want to make new friends and generally have great FUN:

JOIN EBC NOW (http://www.battlefield-command.com/), and gain eternal fame and glory on the battlefield.

The BC Staff.

This tournament is completely 100% free and is funded by donations only.

Nice on Chopper. I'm also part of this tourney, have been for about 18months and it's been a blast. There's a few others from it that have also joined AToW.

Also, I recommend watching the videos by 'Will Bann', he's very good at them :D

Oh, and if anyone is interested in joining, request NATO when you sign up ;)

I meant to post this up ages ago, but forgot. I planned a series of 4 videos focussing on the NATO HCOs in the BF2 tournament. I have made two so far and will make the other two hopefully soon back on Vanilla. Below is my original release post on the tournament.

I am proud to present 'Meet the HCOs' a series of short videos focusing on each member of the NATO HCO team and it's General. Each video will focus on one person using their 'weapon of choice'. It will also attempt to reflect the person and their playing style in some way. The videos are just a bit of light-hearted fun with some added flair to the descriptions so I hope the AFU HCOs don't feel left out (jk).

I had orginally planned not to make any videos this campaign and simply enjoy the efforts of others (which have been great so far btw) but I had this idea and just had to make it. For this reason the videos will only be two or three minutes long.

So far, I have made videos for Finestyle and Ginga_Ninja and will start work on Physicist's and my own video soon. As with any of my videos, I would recommend playing these in VideoLan as the audio is somewhat better than Quicktime, but you will possibly need Quicktime installed anyway.

I hope everyone enjoys these videos as much as I have enjoyed making them. If it inspires anyone to give video making a try, all the better.

Fighting with Finestyle is an eclectic and unique experience. On the one hand he fights very tactically and in a realistic manner, which anyone who has served under him when he was Captain will know. But we also go off on our little jollies and get up to a lot of mad and daft things that don't always go to plan but always lead to hilarity.

This video focuses mostly on the madder aspects of playing with Finestyle on Berezne and our road trips near the end with a short section of some of his more serious moments.

If a game has a 50 cal sniper rifle in it, Ginga will find it and use it. As a result he is rather proficient at sniping. He is also usually right in the middle of any of the mad activity us HCOs get up to on our jollies to the enemy back flags.

This video focuses on Ginga's more serious activities as sniper on Berezne and his forbidding but unseen presence on the battlefield forcing the enemies to keep their heads down and making them fear for their lives.

these are awesome vids if i do say so myself....and im not just saying that cz 1 is of me....they are generally the BEST BF2 vids you will ever see!

Footage is from...i believe the second or third battle of Campaign 9's battle recordings

EDIT: the tournament has now moved to campaign 10...we are now using Vanilla BF2, no mods!
