Well, we have a bit more Battlefield news today.
Today was indeed the day for the PSN release of the latest Battlefield title… Battlefield 1943. The XBox launch was yesterday.
We PC gamers won’t find a release until the fall due to a fan outcry against “another console port”. DICE listened and have been changing the PC version into more of a fitting stand-alone PC game.
While this should have been done from the start, at least they gave in and made this decision after-the-fact.
So, how is Battlefield 1943, a game that is basically a multiplayer engine demo of the upcoming Bad Company 2 full game? Well, the reviews are fairly positive and a friend of mine had the chance to try the limited XBox trial. He swears it is a much better game then Bad Company. He stated that the engine is better then any of their previous titles. He says they have vastly improved the frostbite engine since Bad Company.
The graphics are excellent and the game play is as good as the original Battlefield 1942. Fun!
Here’s a look at the trailers for each of the three console maps and the Community Challenge. Also, check out the release trailer at the bottom.
I can’t wait for the PC version this September.
