Battlefield 1943
Another Battlefield game is heading our way this week! Battlefield 1943 is a download-only title set to release Wednesday (7/8) on Xbox Live and Thursday (7/9) on the Playstation Network. For only $15, the game promises tons of gameplay, all on WWII Pacific Theater maps. In fact, some of the maps may look familiar. They include Wake Island, Iwo Jima, and Guadalcanal. A fourth map, Coral Sea, is unlocked once 43 million cumulative kills have been achieved. So it will be interesting to see whether Xbox 360 or Playstation 3 gamers hit that milestone first. My money is on the 360 crowd. But this isn’t just a rehash of Battlefield 1942. Everything has been recreated with the Frostbite engine, used in Bad Company. So this time we get to play WWII with fully destructible environments. Not to mention the awesome sound effects. I don’t know about you, but I can’t wait to get back to Wake Island. Hope to see you online this week!
