Battlefield 1943 is being released on the Xbox Live Arcade, PSN, and on PC as a downloadable game.

I really wish they’d make this a full game though. I was addicted to Battlefield 1942 for years, and the online play is still thriving, even though it’s been out since 2002. So this video shows the basic gameplay; you spawn, you kill, you die, you respawn, kill some more, and repeat. The game is pretty much just a graphical upgrade for Battlefield 1942, along with some new gameplay features like melee, destructible buildings, and unlimited ammo.

Expect to download this beauty sometime this Summer.

EA is taking the Battlefield franchise back to WWII. This is awesome news. I played Battlefield 1942 religiously for years, and I still play it occasionally when I’m bored. It’s not hard to find a full server either. The trailer shows Wake Island, a map from BF1942, and it looks so much better now.

Battlefield 1943 is only a downloadable game, and will be release on Xbox Live, PSN, and on PC. I really think they should make this into a full game; I would buy it. Why not? Thousands of people are still playing BF1942 online, right now, as I type this. You can play with 24 people at once, fighting all over Wake Island, trying to gain control of it. It sounds like fun, but on PC, if I can remember right, the player cap for BF1942 was 64 players.
