Battlefield 1943 declares war next week, starting July 8

by Alexander Sliwinski { Jul 2nd 2009 at 9:47AM }

Battlefield 1943 is ready to let bullets fly and bombs drop on July 8th and 9th for Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network, respectively. The final declaration of release was made by the official Battlefield 1943 Twitter account, intriguingly named "officialbf1943."

Remember, the "Coral Sea" map can only be unlocked through community collaboration. If you won the game through our Joyswag efforts, don't forget to submit your codes!

RIP DSG?

MLS @ Jul 2nd 2009 10:04AM

I always thought it was just for the day.

copa @ Jul 2nd 2009 10:17AM

And now for the stunning plot twist... she was actually dead THE WHOLE TIME!

ilovethewaggle @ Jul 2nd 2009 10:39AM

Ok M. Night Shamalamadingdong, it was a horrible plot twist the first time around, then you made a bunch of even shittier movies, and now you try to go back to what originally made you famous? I claim that YOU have been dead the whole time.

C-C-C-C-C-Combo Breaker!!!!

MowDownJoe @ Jul 2nd 2009 1:15PM

If the JPAG has its way, you won't be seeing the last of DSG anytime soon...

As seen on Kotaku:

Hey PC fans of '42, do we at DICE have a treat for you!
A remake built up from the ground, one to please the modern crowd.

However shamelessly we must inform, that 24 players is now the norm.
And gone are the many class selections, whittled down to 3 exceptions.

Serious wounds shall need no attention, just hide in the shadows for a healthy redemption.
The console release is soon to see light, but the mere mention of PC is no where in sight.

But we at DICE do indeed have a treat for you too,
and that's one last message to the PC crowd, a lively "Fuck You".

NaeemTHM @ Jul 2nd 2009 9:54AM

I...I don't see her!

IT'S OVER! HURRA!

tmacairjordan87 @ Jul 2nd 2009 9:54AM

Needs more DSG.

Kinsey @ Jul 2nd 2009 10:13AM

I had a ton of fun with Bad Company so I hope this will compliment on that being on the same engine

ps. I had a blast with the DSG. I had a good laugh and I needed it.
Thank Yoiu Joystiq for being an awesome site to read!

Young_Nastyman (a.k.a. Thor von Clemson) @ Jul 2nd 2009 10:13AM

you can see her reflection SOMEWHERE in the picture, right? RIGHT?!?!

*huddles in the corner rocking back and forth*

Ad134 @ Jul 2nd 2009 10:15AM

It's been a day. DSG is gone! :(

-Vexx- @ Jul 2nd 2009 10:14AM

Guys get the hell over it

offday @ Jul 2nd 2009 10:39AM

Looks like someone is angry that there was never a DSB.

Paul @ Jul 2nd 2009 10:58AM

haha

-Vexx- @ Jul 2nd 2009 11:44AM

*sniff*

Shut up :(

Crazy-008 @ Jul 2nd 2009 10:16AM

The meme was funny, but to keep talking about it is equal to hearing a funny joke and telling the person to say it again like it will be just as funny. "It's the art of showmanship George....that's how they do it in Vegas."

Crazy-008 @ Jul 2nd 2009 10:19AM

Point being... Let it go. Sorry for the double post.

HardBoiled2009 @ Jul 2nd 2009 10:17AM

this Picture Is Missing something .. hmmm i think it needs more DSG

Curtis @ Jul 2nd 2009 10:21AM

Thanks for posting that link to the joyswag. I was hoping everyone forgot about it so I could snag that 360 code. Didn't you guys say you were going to drop a whole bunch of codes closer to launch?
