The Battlefield series continues to generate huge profits for Electronic Arts.

Electronic Arts is tooting its own horn today, and for good reason: Battlefield: Bad Company 2 has become the best-selling March release on record in North America and Europe, with more than 2.3 million enlisting to wage digital war.

Electronic Arts hasn't shied away from going head-to-head with Activision in the battle for online military shooter supremacy. And according to a new report, Battlefield: Bad Company 2 is effectively pulling players from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and making them Battlefield converts.
