    Battlefield 2: Bad Company and Battlefield 1943 announced

    Gamersyde

    Press release:

    Guildford, UK – February 5, 2009 – DICE, an Electronic Arts Inc studio (NASDAQ: ERTS), today announced the development of Battlefield: Bad Company 2™, the sequel to last year’s blockbuster title. In this installment, the Bad Company crew again find themselves in the heart of the action, where they must use every weapon and vehicle at their disposal to survive. The action unfolds with unprecedented intensity, introducing a level of fervor to vehicular warfare never before experienced in a modern warfare action game. To get ready for the assault this winter, players can prepare for action in Battlefield 1943™, an all-new multiplayer game available this summer via PlayStation®Store, Xbox LIVE™ Marketplace and on the PC.

    In Battlefield: Bad Company 2, the ‘B’ company fight their way through snowy mountaintops, dense jungles and dusty villages. With a heavy arsenal of deadly weapons and a slew of vehicles to aid them, the crew set off on their mission and they are ready to blow up, shoot down, blast through, wipe out and utterly destroy anything that gets in their way. Total destruction is the name of the game, delivered as only the DICE next generation Frostbite™ engine can. Either online or offline, enemies will soon learn there is nowhere to hide. Battlefield: Bad Company 2 will be available for the Xbox 360® videogame and entertainment system, the PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system and the PC.

    Using the same Frostbite™ engine, Battlefield 1943 takes players back to WWII. The game offers endless hours of 24 player multiplayer action over three classic and tropic locations; Wake Island, Guadalcanal and Iwo Jima. Delivering the award-winning through-the-gun and vehicle warfare online experience DICE is best recognized for, Battlefield 1943 will have players battling in ruthless aerial dog fights and intense trench combat. Players can see the game in action at New York Comic Con (Booth #1441) from February 6th-8th.

    “Bad Company 2 takes everything that players liked in the original and ups the ante – more vehicles, more destruction and more team play,” said Karl Magnus Troedsson, Executive Producer Battlefield Franchise, DICE. “Battlefield 1943 is a new take on a blast from the past classic coming to life with brand new technology that we’re eager to get into players hands.”

    1943 really needs to be at least 32 player if not 64 player IMO for those sized maps. 24 isn't big enough to get a good "war" feeling to it, at least that was my experience with BF2


    Nevertheless, more BF, hell ya

            I was very late to the party with BC1, what an amazing game from a SP standpoint. It was fun from start to finish imo.

              BC1 - Great single player - Needs alot of balancing work Multiplayer.

                  Battlefield 1943 will be using the Frostbite engine so expect a lot of destruction like bad company.

                    It'll just be a larger file than your usual arcade game. Then its only 3 maps and all in the Pacific. I wonder how much they'll charge.

                      I think 20 to 30 bucks will be the price.

                        oh this rocks!

                        I love BC online, still to this day... the Frostbite engine and the destructibility kicks ***. I love the handling of the guns much better than most games.

                            hey I forgot about that. we have two X360s in the house as well but I don't allow him to play online yet.

                            the DD BD 1943 game is online multiplayer only but later when retail games come out on digital download, that's something I forgot about... we share disc based games now so I wonder if it will have a system in place (I belive like PS3) where you can play it on both machines but only one at a time can be online?

                              1942 was awesome.

                              The only bad parts of the game was the divebombing and spawnkilling. Other than that, it was a blast.
