Battlefield 1943, Bad Company 2 unveiled
More war for PC, PS3 and 360 this year.
EA has officially unveiled Battlefield: Bad Company 2 and Battlefield 1943 for PC, Xbox 360 and PS3.
The latter will be out this summer as a downloadable PSN, XBLA and PC title. Players will be whisked back to World War II and do battle in tropical locales Wake Island, Guadalcanal and Iwo Jima, using period vehicles and weaponry to wreak havoc.
DICE made a name for itself with Battlefield 1942 many moons ago, and is relishing the chance to revamp the experience using brand new tech. We're told this will be playable at the New York Comic-Con this weekend.
Battlefield: Bad Company 2 will be out this winter and build on the destructive, humorous and story-driven original that welcomed top-notch scores. Thick jungles, snowy mountains and dusty deserts will provide the background this time, with piles of weapons at hand to reduce everything to rubble. The celebrated multiplayer will return, too.
Head over to our Battlefield: Bad Company 2 and Battlefield 1943 galleries for the first screenshots.

I had written BF:1943 off, as for some reason I had just assumed it would be a PC only title. Can't believe it's a XBLA (always pronounce this as 'ex-blah' in my head) and PSN title too!
I will probably get this, but I just wish they'd do an update of BF2:MC - for me, that was the epitome of a game developed for consoles. At no point did it ever feel like it was a PC game borked into working on a controller. And the feel of the character was spot-on.
Plus, having four of you bail out of a hovering chopper onto the Chinese skyscraper in Bridge Too Far, or parachuting down when the snipers finally found you just made the game an awesome team-game experience that for me, has *never* been repeated.
/still doesn't get why BF:BC has no parachutes. And Frontlines just didn't cut it. Yes, I'm bitter

Hell, am I alone in being depressed that these mods were vastly superior to the commercial releases?
