From your post, I'm not sure if you are up to date on the current states of NF2. 1st, NF2 NA had closed beta testing from March 27th-April 10th and ended up closing before a open beta stage. 2nd, recently, SDE closed NF2 Japan. The only NF2 version still alive is NF2 EU and it's stupid unstable and struggling to stay alive.
These chain of events suggest that SDE will NOT be forcing us to play NF2...unless you live in Europe.
It's funny that NFEU of the original NF is the first to shut down, yet it's newer version NF2 EU is the only one still alive.
