Getting Bigger! (3377 Views)

GAMESTV.ORG joins BFTV of the Geeks-Network to offer exclusive Battlefield 2 coverage.

After the success GTV saw in offering coverage for a range of leagues across Enemy Territory, our vision to expand was even bigger. In fact, it was within weeks of launch that we announced plans to offer coverage to Call of Duty and it's sequel Call of Duty 2.

Starting with only basic TV tools, CoD fed our hunger to dominate the coverage world. Small trips to cover such games as Counter-Strike and even age-old Return to Castle Wolfenstein followed.

However, we today announce a partnership with the Battlefield 2 uber-group BFTV. The partnership will see a direct link between the network and all their BFTV casts on GAMESTV.ORG. Geeks-Network also offer exclusive coverage to players and non-players of BF2 including radio shoutcasts and PodCasts.

Zino: As the main BF2 shoutcasters on the scene today, BFTV is always looking for reliable community service providers. Joining forces with Gamestv.org was a natural move, as GTV are on the lookout for new games to expand to. In return BFTV will obviously get name recognition. We hope the users of GTV will enjoy our BF2 casts. Feedback is always welcomed on IRC at #TGBF-Radio / #BFGeeks or in our forums.

How does it work?
BFTV, unlike ETTV works without the Battlefield 2 software installed on your computer. With just a click of the supplied URL on each BF2 broadcast, your video and audio stream begins. No need to connect to IPs, load software or even leave your operating system.

That's brilliant - but Im not interested...
As always GTV offers the ability to registered users to hide games that do not interest them. To hide Battlefield 2 broadcasts, visit your My Account page and clear the Battlefield 2 checkbox before clicking Submit.

Well I don't play BF2, but the multigaming clan I manage also has a BF2 squad so getting involved with the community might have its possitive effects.

Thanks everyone. Keep an eye out for the schedule, both North American and Euro top matches will be added periodically. And if you missed a cast, you can always find it in our Archive, or even download and watch it on your handheld video player. Enjoy! :)
