TotalVideoGames.com has posted another preview of Battlefield 1943 that gives us little tidbits of new info about the game as well as giving a voice to the "hardcore" Battlefield fans. The second paragraph is my favorite by far and I'm sure all of you will agree. Check it out:
Hardcore Battlefield fans may have been justifiably miffed when Bad Company was released last year. Initially there was a public outcry when it became apparent that a Conquest mode wouldn't ship with the game, with DICE quickly asserting that the mode would be made available via DLC after release. The game itself, on the other hand, was a clear move away from the multiplayer centric Battlefield 2, a title that only ever sat comfortably on the PC despite the Modern Combat console spin-offs. To compensate for a PC market of swiftly diminishing returns, DICE's Bad Company was a console game with an emphasis on the single-player campaign and, while the game still retained the foundations of a Battlefield experience, we certainly felt that it lacked the unique Battlefield touches of old (particularly in its multiplayer game).
A little sympathy had to be spared for PC gamers who set up their own game servers on Battlefield 2, were members of a disciplined and deadly squad, or spent hours collecting all the illusive medals and awards that the PC game made you fight so hard for. Had DICE forgotten its loyal PC gamer fan-base by releasing Bad Company only on next-gen consoles? Wherever you stand on this debate, EA's recent announcement of Battlefield 1943 must have been a relief to Battlefield fans who are loyal to the PC platform - not only would this downloadable XBLA and PSN game be coming to PC as well, but it would also hark back to the original Battlefield 1942 that rethought the way we play multiplayer FPS games online.
