Swedish in Press Release?

I see that the press release (http://www.ea.com/official/battlefield/battlefield2/us/editorial.jsp?src=communityupdate_032106) contains a sentence at the end that reads:

    P.S. Snoken - vi har sett fram emot Mine 2 och kan lugnt säga att vi inte blev besvikna!

I assumed it was Swedish since DICE is a Swedish company, and I translated it online. The best I could do is:

    A grass snake- we've seen forward/there opposite Mine 2 and can calmly say that we not became disappointed.

It should be noted that Snoken means 'grass snake', but it is the name of the producer of the Mine 2 movie. If there is anyone proficient in Swedish, could you please translate it better so it can be posted?

It's something to the effect of "We were looking foward to Mine 2 and weren't disappointed." - Rudykog 21:58, 22 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

"It should be noted that Snoken means 'grass snake', but it is the name of the producer of the :Mine 2 movie."

Actually, Noken is the name of the producer, Snoken, is just the first letter of Noken's brothers name(which is Sudden), and his full name, hence Snoken.--Dp462090 20:23, 23 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

To ShadowMan1od

Where did you get any information about the engine that will be used? I couldn't find any credible source stating that the retraction 3 engine will be used.

What engine does BF2 use? Because I'm almost 100% sure that's what they'd use .--Dp462090 20:00, 23 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Stub Removal

What do you all think, is that enough to remove the stub tag?--Dp462090 03:56, 24 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I think we've about exhausted the amount of information released so far, so I doubt there's much more anyone could add anyway, so yes. Also, as a side note, we could probably merge the two notes on the EU and PAC into one? Trjn 09:53, 27 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Done, and done.--Dp462090 11:21, 27 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Post Release Article

I've made an article for what, I believe, the 2142 article should be once released: User:Trjn/BF2142. Feel free to edit it/discuss it. Most of the article is taken straight from the BF2 article, but I assume that would be for the best to achieve decent consistency. -Trjn 07:19, 31 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

That's a great goal, but I think that, maybe there should be a section, about the rumors. But, then again, that's just me.--Dp462090 | Talk | Contrib | 18:57, 31 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

M-714-38.PK

A bunch of screenshots have pictures of a gun with the tag M-714-38.PK [1] [2] printed on the side. This looks like nothing seen in any of the PCGamer weapon screenshots[3]. I assume this will be a part of the game, the problem exists however that I am unsure as to whether it is an EU or PAC weapon. My best guess would be that it is an EU assault weapon, as all the known PAC weapons start with NK- (Which im also guessing stands for North Korea, but thats only a guesstimation). I tried to compare uniforms but couldnt come to a conclusion. Also, some screenshots of the unit holding that have an emblem, along with some other vehicles and objects.(See: [4], 1, and 2). I believe that the Griffon looking mark is that of the EU, for no other reason that the soldiers do not look of Eastern decent and they hold a weapon that does not appear to be employed by the PAC. That the stranger looking curved vertex mark(see 6) is that of either the PAC, or a company who builds that model of mech (the '806'). Im asking anyone who has any more information to kindly shead some light here, thanks -Trjn 07:19, 31 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I'll guess that PC Gamer just didn't get a picture of it, or that it has changed since the screen-shot was taken. And, as for the MECH I'm almost 100% sure that it's the EU MECH, because of this video [5](Watched the fullscreen version), which shows a MECH called "Stella", moving with, what appers to be a EU soldier, but not shooting him, although the number is 808.--Dp462090 | Talk | Contrib | 18:44, 31 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Also I've found this screen [6]--Dp462090 | Talk | Contrib | 05:02, 5 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Wrong information

Im afraid there is a failure in the article: You are writing about Euro-American union. That is wrong. I believe the official version is only EU.

I concur. The official site says the Western faction is called 'European Union'. I can't find anywhere where it says it's called 'American-European Alliance'. I request that we correct this information. Seriphyn 18:31, 2 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
