Ensuring that Battlefield: Bad Company 2 doesn't get all of the attention today, EA has released a few new screenshots from DICE's other major Battlefield effort, 1943.

The download-only game brings 24-person multiplayer and three classic maps--Wake Island, Guadalcanal and Iwo Jima--to PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 this summer.

I played bf heroes for about 15 minutes, that game is for little kids. playes simple and no skill is required. i hope 1943 is not this way but with only 3 maps being released it sounds a like a quick way for EA to make a buck without putting too much in resources into it. I mean 1943 sounds like a bad company mod...which is what bf heroes is. using the same engine...just a total conversion.

So tons of rumors were going around when this was first unveiled because those who payed it had a limited time to do so.

They reported unlimited ammo but did not report that grenades and mines don't have unlimited ammo. I think that has been cleared up now.

Also, I heard that you could not drive the carriers or battleships anymore? Can anyone confirm/deny this? Seems stupid to remove, especially if planes can strafe you all day long and you are dead in the water.

I think this will be great, and would hate to see people write it off early because of false rumors.

How about a real BF 1942 sequel? That was the most fun I ever had playing online FPS other than TFC.

Nearly all posts below this are acting as though they've played the game. For all you know, its *GASP* more fun than the original. A title being released on PSN + XBLA isn't necessarily "casual" just by definition.

If you're such 'fans' of this game, why not buy it and give it a chance before jumping all of this like you know what the fuck you're on about.

"THIS GAME SUCKS! It's for the CASUAL GAMER!" Oh boohoo, they simplified things. I love BF, been playing sine 1942. And being able to jump in and not worry about certain things, thus streamlining my experience, is something I can't wait for.
