translation from dutch:

Beside the notice of Battlefield: Bath Company 2 Electronic Arts made for Battlefield 1943 Pacific has also confessed work. The game is developed by the Swedish DICE and end this year will appear for the PC., PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. The game be will play itself play in the Pacific in 1943, and just like the previous battlefield battlefield-games with many players online. The game will pass by several islands in the Pacific, such as Guadalcanal, Iwo Jima and vigil Island. Everything be will destroy.

Whereas first images of Battlefield: Bad Company 2 are still made wait, Electronic Arts and DICE revealed a new variation of the Battlefield licence, which will exploit the last version of the Frostbite engine: Battlefield 1943 Pacific. This énième FPS devoted to the War of the Pacific will allow the social players of étriper in Conquest mode on three of the most mythical charts of Battlefield 1942: Guadalcanal, Iwo Jima and Wake Island. Destructible buildings, flying, travelling or floating vehicles, the admirers of the series will not be frankly dépaysés but will be able défouler in paradisiac decorations, galvanized by the soft howls of 23 other furious. The hostilities will begin this summer, on X360 and PS3.

not sure if it's real, but interesting... back to WWII!

Yay
I was looking forward to CoD4:2.
:frown:

Wow did I get confused.
I meant to say looking forward to BF3~!
I guess my mind has already chosen that I'll be playing Cod4:2 instead of BF1943...

 

[Kromis]

Oh my God...

NO!

You're doing it wrong, DICE! WTF!!!!

CoD and BF are totally different games, i don't know why you're comparing the two, they don't satisfy the same gaming needs for me. unless you're one of those people who play BF2 for its infantry combat. CoD is good but i wouldn't choose one and skip the other because BF games are more than just infantry fps.

Depends, I wouldnt mind a Prettier BF1942. In fact I would love it. BF1942 was the best Battlefield game in my eyes and as long as the dont screw it up it might be good.

 

[minmaster]

yeah but BF1942 covered both european and pacific fronts, but this sounds like it's strictly pacific.

it's going to be a lot of naval warfare and air combat.

No doubt. The best in the series hands down

 

[Schadenfroh]

I hope they bring back naval battles!

Is that a threat ?!

Just read this somewhere else. If it's anything close to BF1942, I am SO there. Native wide screen support would be enough for me!

you're right, the BF games satisfy none of my needs, well, except the need to get extremely annoyed and frustrated at a completely shitty game.

 

[RallyMaster]

WWII do not want :/

 

[Sk8rdd00]

Nothing wrong with WW2, especially if its a Battlefield game. BF1942 is the still the best in the series by far.

BF1942 covered pretty much the entire war, wasn't even limited to 1942. The Pacific maps were the best, and the city maps the worst.

some european maps were okay, and i forgot about the african front but it had some good maps too.

How can paradisiac decorations ever be wrong?

Maybe I'm simple, retarded, awesome, and dashing, but all I want is BF42 with updated res and people actually playing. Do that please.

I did like 42/nam as the best of the series. Not to mention that the vehicles were way more balanced in those games.

I really hope they bring back the spotter/artillery function. I didn't mind spending hours while playing just sitting in a sp-arty or battleship waiting for the signal from my scouts or manning an AAA turret.

 

[ConstipatedVigilante]

"23 other furious" sounds like max players is 24. I hope that's not true. But I wouldn't mind going back to WW2 - it's a fun setting, after all. I hope they bring back battleships/destroyers!

Here is the link to the Battlefield 1943 site...looks cool Text

Well, I dunno....up to 24 players and only three maps and download only for PC:disgust:

Not to mention trying to sneak to a good position to call in an arty strike and then trying to stay alive to keep it up.

So many moments of that game were just epic, felt like something big was really going on. Like on Midway when your carrier's sunk and the airfield is getting shelled and dive bombed to hell, the excitement of fighting back enough to get a few planes get off the ground to try to fend off the attack, just awesome.

The game was great when you'd get in a server full of people who didn't care about their individual scores and just worked at a team doing those kinds of things to turn the battle. Even without the squad crap and built in voice, peole just played much more organized than I ever noticed in BF2 - simpler game overall maybe? Who knows. Of course there were always the smacker plane campers and such, but on a good server, they didn't last long.

Yeah, probably getting too excited for this already. Brace for the letdown!

EDIT
"Well, I dunno....up to 24 players and only three maps and download only for PC "

And... there it is.

 

[Dkcode]

24 players with only 3 maps?

Fuck that...

Sweet! By the looks of the trailer, they've already implemented Gratuitous Image Tearing, AND I get another WWII game to go along with the other 83 sitting on my shelf.

That's a WIN-WIN situation if I ever saw one! Factor in the fact that's it's EA/DICE - possibly the worst Quality Control in the industry - and this baby can't miss!!!!!
