Battlefield 1943, Announced!
If you read a few of my previous opinions I expressed here and there about EA's games, then you surely know I am not quite crazy about them. On the other hand, I enjoyed the Battlefield series a lot, so I can't say I have something against EA. I only hate them for what they have done to the NFS series, but I also love them for a lot of things, including the great PC version of Burnout Paradise.

Anyway, while Burnout Paradise is set in a fictional city that doesn't look different to a bunch of large cities you can find all over the world, when I say Battlefield 1943, things are clear - we're going back in time to fight in the WW2 once again! Yes, yes, it's "just another war game" for some, but it's much more than just that, for the ones really into it, including myself.
The story goes like this - using the new Frostbite engine and offering full 24-player support, Battlefield 1943 features three maps from the Pacific campaign: Guadalcanal, Wake Island, and the notorious(and bloody) Iwo Jima.
Just as before, you will be able to engage in team-based infantry combat, also having access to a bunch of vehicles, including tanks and planes.
OK, OK, but WHEN? According to official sources, the game should be released this summer for the PC, as well as through Xbox Live Marketplace and the PlayStation Store, so console gamers should also be happy, less those who own a Wii...
