    Exclamation Battlefield 1943 this September

    http://kotaku.com/5147008/bad-compan...yline=true&s=x

    Battlefield: Bad Company 2 is coming to the PC, Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 this winter and Battlefield 1943 to PC, PSN and Live this summer, Electronic Arts confirmed this morning.

    In this Bad Company sequel, B company fight their way through snowy mountaintops, dense jungles and dusty villages. With a heavy arsenal of deadly weapons and a slew of vehicles to aid them, the crew set off on their mission and they are ready to blow up, shoot down, blast through, wipe out and utterly destroy anything that gets in their way.

    OK, so Electronic Arts really isn't telling us much about the game at all. They do say it will be built on DICE's next-gen Frostbite engine. There's that and this fancy quote:

    "Bad Company 2 takes everything that players liked in the original and ups the ante – more vehicles, more destruction and more team play," said Karl Magnus Troedsson, Executive Producer Battlefield Franchise, DICE. "Battlefield 1943 is a new take on a blast from the past classic coming to life with brand new technology that we're eager to get into players hands."

    Yeah, still got nothing.

    The details for Battlefield 1943 are a bit more in focus, with EA telling us that it to will use the Frontbite engine and supports 24 multiplayer games over three classic and tropic locations: Wake Island, Guadalcanal and Iwo Jima.



    I hope they're not saying they're only supporting 24 people on a server...

    I wanted something modern or futuristic... I find WW2 games quite boring.

    Well 1943 sounds like a tech demo almost may be even a beta of some sort, not in any way a full release of a game i.e. not a "BF3"

    Could be a follow up type thing like warhead was, 20 quid and play online


    I hope it has a mg42 to play with but more interested in bad company being heavily moddable of course


    If you find yourself in a fair fight, then you have obviously failed to plan properly.

    I will say this though, as much as I dislike WWII games, Badcompany 2 looks cool though. And it's not WWII!

    I'd rather have graphics worse than 2142, but with 120 players, then have 24 players and Crysis level graphics. It's all about the game play.

    Question Re: Battlefield 1943 this summer

    I might be happy if they just added the squad and voice system to the shining star that is BF1942. The idea of the classic with comm. channels and a command structure makes me happy.

    I do not mind the WW2 era if it is in BF. If they made BF1943 a complete rebuild of 1942 including voice, squads, and the lovely 64 player option on all of those maps, I would probably get it.

    If BF1943 is what it sounds like, it seems like it is not up to snuff. I hope BF1943 is part of something much larger...


    Will the PC version of BF:Bad Company 2, be like BF2 or BF2142?

    I agree with BeSiege. 1942 with squads and voip comms would rock. 24 player is a big let down..
