Battlefield 1943 (Finally) Dated, Out Next Week

After what seemed like a few false starts, EA has announced that DICE's Battlefield revival 1943 will finally be hitting Xbox Live Arcade next Tuesday (I mean, uh, Wednesday), July 8, with the PlayStation Network version following one day later on July 9. Both versions will run you around $15.

We got some serious quick look time with '43 recently, and you can also take a gander at this new trailer.

 

Is it free?

Both versions will run you around $15

I don't think the size of this download has ever been mentioned. I want this game but I don't have a lot of room left on my hard drive. Hopefully it isn't much more than a gig.

I thought it wasn't coming out 'till september.

I'm glad it's coming earlier than I expected. When I watched the live footage of the game at IGN (was it IGN?) they said it wouldn't be coming for a few weeks, so I assumed we wouldn't be playing it until July 15 - August 1. This is great news. At least we have a date to go by.

I think I will pick this up on 360.

WOOO PC version two months later! Sigh.

WOOT

According to that box art for the PC its only a download code.  So where are we downloading the game from?  EA Manager?

" WOOO PC version two months later! Sigh. "

yessssss so excited for this

thank you giant bomb. NOT one other site even fucking mentioned the PC version of the game coming out. It literally makes me sick to my stomach to think how much people keep shitting on the best platform out there.

Is there any way to pre-purchase games on XBLM? I mean they have the E3 giveaway unlock codes able to be put in right now which places the game in your download queue if I'm not mistaken.

This is awesome news.  Can't wait woot!

Super duper!

I need points!

i'm getting it as soon as it comes out

No, I just want to buy the game right now so I can start playing at 3 am on the 8th when it unlocks.

This sounds pretty good.  I just wonder if I can justify spending 15 bucks when I don't have much money at the moment.

I've been patiently waiting for this game to finally come out...glad to see it'll be here next week.

It's been a long time since I last visited Wake Island.
Can't wait for this

Definitly grabbing this.

This is good news I am gonna check this out for sure.

Think i'll pass on this, not excited.

For 15 dollars, it looks great.

I'm interested, I just hope the gameplay is pretty lag free.

I know I'll be wishing they remade all the BF1942 maps though, even though people would only play a handful of them anyways.

I'll probably pick it up on 360, and maybe on PC later, depending on what I think of gaming on my new PC and how much I enjoy the 360 version.

Awesome.
Now I just need some points.

Anyone else feel, as a PC gamer, kind of like how 'hardcore' Nintendo fans do, but with DICE? Like, hey, kind of the whole reason DICE got so big was the massive PC community, hardly anyone ever even pirated DICE, and Battlefield was one of the most played FPSes on PCs, up to BF2(Which still garners high numbers)

And now they're releasing early on consoles, building the game on consoles, porting them to PC. I mean Bad Company felt like a kick in the genitalia, Bad Company 2 felt like a pittance, and this feels the same, like 'oh yeah.. you guys.' If Battlefield 3 is announced for consoles, and forces my PC version to have 24 player games, or 64 player, but with maps that don't compensate, I fear I may be done with this company.

Was hoping a bit earler but still looking forward to this a lot. Really need a solid online game on my PS3 for cheap.

still ww2....

I will get this. It looks like an upgraded BF 1942 which is all I want :D
