Battlefield 1943 new video and screens

There's no more to say about our hands-on time with Battlefield 1943 than what's been said already ... so we thought we'd cut the chit-chat and let you soak up the new video above and screens below. Actually, we have one minor detail to correct. Previously, we reported that Battlefield would be $15 on the PlayStation Store; it's actually only $14.99. So how will you be spending that extra penny?

Looks incredible, this makes World at War and all COD games look like a joke. Day 1 purchase on PSN for me.

...makes CoD games look like a joke? Maybe Treyarch's CoD games but not Infinity Ward's. I like the Battlefield games but the ground combat is never up to par with CoD's. Which is understandable since it has a lot more stuff going on.
Hence, why comparing the 2 games is stupid...and thus you are. Thank you sir, have a good day.

If this is anything even remotely close to Bad Company, sign me up. 90% destructible environments are so delicious.
Frostbite engine ftw!

because it don't. it looks indeed spiffy.
Jonathan @ May 14th 2009 11:19AM
you brought the ps2 into this....i don't like the ps2 so the penny gets a new use.
and you won't like it ^_^
Teabag @ May 14th 2009 11:14AM
This looks quite bad. PS2-ish.
*Awaits penny catch*

And now I have a boner.
(Its just me but after playing Killzone 2 you can't stop hearing the voice of the narrator,I was playing Gears of War 2 and I was expecting the KZ2 voice to pop out and say "Body count:Kill as many as you can,Let's make it personal")

Looks like this might be the next game me and my buddies will hop into, seems like a lotta fun!
Avada Kadavra 9 @ May 14th 2009 11:24AM
I can't wait for this, so excited.
PedoJokerBear (aka Deeznuts) @ May 14th 2009 11:49AM
and you just cant hide it

Anyone know of any Joysticks that work on the 360 and the PC? The only one I can think of it the Ace Combat 6 one but I do recall reading some other ones working with games like Tom Clancys HawX. I just can't see playing a battlefield game without a Joystick.

I gotta agree with the quotation in the trailer. Definitely looks too good for a downloadable title.
And by the way, am I the only one that really likes how with each game EA publishes their logo is given a theme to match the game?
burnz316 @ May 14th 2009 12:08PM
i also like the way EA uses their logo differently in most of their games.. looks sweet.
trailer looked pretty good for a XBLA game.
Sidebuster @ May 14th 2009 11:43AM
Hmm... I am going to get this real fast. Used to play this game (map) all the time back in the day. I still have my old CD's. Wouldn't it be easier played the old version?
MarkHawk @ May 14th 2009 12:59PM
Can't run over tree's in the original...
Metalfr3ak @ May 14th 2009 11:54AM
LIKE OMG! I cant wait for this shiz.....seriously, while im at bootcamp, knowing that people are enjoying this is going to be driving me crazy....
ccc @ May 14th 2009 12:25PM
This game is gonna dominate the most played XBLA game spot.
Now I am left wondering what is the file size of this game gonna be?
CzAr @ May 14th 2009 1:06PM
I'll be stuck playing Battlestations Pacific.

Yeah the game looks great except they took a PC game and made it into a console game, which I find stupid from a gamer perspective who doesn't play consoles. It was done for more money, which is obvious. The PC version is set to be released in the fall, so us gamers have to wait longer, when console players get it earlier. The game also only has 3 classes, probably unlimited ammo, and the health system is different from all the battlefield games we know and love. No more 5 classes or however many there were, no limited ammo, and I assume the health in this game is going to be similiar to battefield heroes, where only certain classes have health packs to share with other players to promote teamwork, and the rest will just have bandages they can buy. I was looking forward to playing the engineer class again, so much for that; 1943 should've been a direct clone of 1942. All this game is, is just better graphics; It's a dumbed down version of the original, and for the casual gamer. It's a let down in my opinion. I'll probably buy it anyway, to see how it is, but it will be nothing like the original, or BF 2, or BF2142. BF1942 was by far my favorite.

You are an idiot sir.
Jono @ May 14th 2009 1:43PM
lol clever ending there EA
I was addicted to Battlefield 1942 for two solid years but I really can't find much to bring me back to the same game i've played seven years ago, with just updated graphics.
This upgraded rehash is probably just to milk money off of the younger generation of gamers on consoles.
NeilNaS @ May 14th 2009 1:49PM
Ahh the game I will be dedicating my summer to.. can't wait.
Sean @ May 14th 2009 1:50PM
They should have made Desert Combat instead of 1943.
Xvnine @ May 14th 2009 6:55PM
They did, you douche bag didn't buy it and it wasn't that great.
Anticrawl @ May 14th 2009 2:40PM
Can't wait for this downloadable title. Won't be worried about a gaming drought this summer; I'll have Damnation, Red Faction: Guerilla, Punch-Out, Battlefield 1943, inFamous, and Sims 3 keeping me busy.
Xvnine @ May 14th 2009 6:58PM
Wow that's a horrible line up,except bf1943 and maybe infamous, sorry to hear you'll be bored most of the summer!
Todd @ May 14th 2009 3:36PM
Wait...so this will be available on both PSN and XBLA in June? And has multiplayer?
Will the two versions be able to play online with each other or is going to be limited to each platform?
FNG @ May 14th 2009 4:26PM
seeing that has never happened and will never happen I'll just say no in 100% certainty.
oaks711 @ May 14th 2009 5:11PM
Looks like a fun game but by the time it comes out you'll be able to get bad company for the same price at gamestop.
Sean @ May 14th 2009 8:31PM
No they didn't, douchebag. Unless you mean Battlefield 2 or Modern Combat, and both of those games were absolute shit compared to Desert Combat.
Jerkamie @ May 14th 2009 9:13PM
Awesome.
PS36Wii Fanboy @ May 14th 2009 9:23PM
Damnit EA! Thanks to this reminder of how epic 1942 was, I now want you guys to make an updated version of 1942! lol.
Also, I now have the hankering to play both expansions of 1942(Rather Secret Weapons of WWII, driving that jet was pretty epic, oh.. and JETPACK rofl)
BAD87FIERO @ May 14th 2009 9:48PM
I don't know why they are bringing this back, I bought BF1942 on launch back in 2002 and as I recall nobody was playing the stock game. The great thing about the Battlefield series was the modding, the Desert Combat mod in particular was very popular which is why the devs of the mod were hired to do Battlefield 2 on the PC.
Staplenut @ May 14th 2009 11:08PM
I spotted a parashoot... They better not try and stray to far from the winning formula like they did with BadCompany... They lost my respect with that one. It seems like games kept pushing the graphics as the selling point and now gamplay is finialy catching up years later...
