According to recent comment from developer DICE, the downloadable Battlefield 1943 probably won't make it out on PS3 and Xbox 360 for another week or two. As a consolation, have a look at some new screenshots (below) in the meantime.

Three remade maps are planned for the 24-player multiplayer game: Wake Island, Guadalcanal, Iwo Jima. A fourth map, Coral Sea, will eventually be available following community challenges.

The PC version of the $15 game will be released sometime in September.

I was going to give EA/DICE another chance (BF2 was a BIG disappointment with their retarded patches, breaking the game even more with every new patch), but when I heard heard that console kiddies will be playing this like a month earlier than PC owners then I immediately changed my mind; f*ck DICE!

I really hope it mimics the original 1942 in terms of playing with AI bots. Like how you can raise AI up to like 200 % or something like that. Then you just pick and side and go at it. I loved that feature because I don't play games that long and to play like 20 to 30 minutes with the AI bots was a treat. Hopefully those features gets tossed back in the PC version of 1943.

hopefully it's fun enough for the $15... that can't be that hard a goal for them to achieve. 4 maps might get tiresome though. and I hope the console rank/achievement whoring idiots actually play to WIN the damn round and not other objectives.
