Here is the new trailer for EA’s Battlefield 1943. If you’re like me, and played Battlefield 1942, and still do, you’re definitely looking forward to this. It’s basically Battlefield 1942 with updated graphics, some new gameplay techniques, and an awesome looking rehash of a great game.

In BF1943, you can play on some of the classic maps from BF1942 like Iwo Jima and Wake Island. The game supports up to 24 players online, and is hitting the PSN and XBLA this June, for $15. PC gamers can get it sometime in September.

This is a definite buy for me. Battlefield 1942 holds a spot close to my heart, and I’m sure 1943 will be even better.

A group of posters on the NeoGAF forums decided to take on a task. A task of recreating the game; the game we all love; with LittleBigPlanet. They have succeeded, and the world is safe, and ps3 owners are happy. They call themselves the LittleBig Contra team, and they are gods among gamers. Damn, I want a PS3. If for nothing else, just to play these levels with that little sack creature.

I wonder how long these levels can last on PSN before they’re taken down for copyright infringement… – N4G

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.
