Battlefield 1943 Screenshots: Bombs Away

April 30, 2009 8:02 AM

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 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.

  A lot is still TBD regarding the PC release.

    Did they say they were doing PC or is that just speculation?

      There is a PC release, it comes out a few months after the console versions (Sept) and will be different in some ways, like higher player count possibly.
