Battlefield 1943 Screenshots: Bombs Away

DICE has released new screenshots of its download-only multiplayer shooter Battlefield 1943, accompanying tales of battlefield hijinks from producer Gordon Van Dyke.

"Imagine with me flying your Corsair airplane over the tropical Wake Island," Dyke wrote on the PlayStation Blog. "[You] notice your squad mate's tank about to be flanked by the enemy...quickly bank to the left, swoop down, and drop two bombs perfectly on the enemy, saving your friend and helping him capture a critical control point."

Priced at $15, the downloadable game and its three maps hit PS3 and Xbox 360 in June, with the "proper" and possibly enhanced PC edition following in September.

I loved how in BF 1942 you could jump into almost any vehicle you could think of. From all the naval units to the different kinds of planes, tanks, and automobiles... it was just great. I never understood why the following BF games neglected the massive vehicle content of the first.

I think this game is going to be really, really popular.

My 2.2 c2d, 2 gig ram and 8800gts 320 prolly won't cut it though....so I may have to get the 360 version.

  Why wouldn't it cut it ? If it doesn't then DICE should work on tuning their game engine. : 5150Joker

I liked Battlefield 1942 because you can just play for fun using the built in bots (AI). This title won't allow you to just load up and play on one of the sides while increasing the bot count so you can just play by yourself right? PC Version I'm speaking of.
