  • Battlefield 1943 PC Delayed 'til 2010

    In a move that probably won't surprise the somewhat bitter and cynical PC gamers in the Battlefield community, producer Gordon van Dyke has revealed in a G4 interview that Battlefield 1943 for PC has been delayed until Q1 2010. He also mentions that the PC version of the game will support up to 32 players. Here's an excerpt from the interview:
    G4: Why is Battlefield 1943 launching later on the PC? In retrospect, was this the right decision?

    Dyke: We haven't released a Frostbite [DICE's game engine] built game on PC, so going into this project we lacked a starting foundation we had on Console. There are also many different and unique only challenges to the PC that has lead to us pushing the release even further to Q1 CY 2010 [early next year]. This was a hard pill to swallow, but it was absolutely needed to ensure the features and functionality that PC Players have come to expect from Battlefield on PC are not missing. Things like support for DirectX 9 and 10, higher player count (up to 32-player matches), wide peripheral support i.e. Joysticks for flying, VoIP, and ranked server provider hosting. So it was and still is the absolutely right decision, for quality sake, to not release until it is ready.

          Dice is the worst ****ing date setters in entertainment ive ever seen. BF2 patch 1.5 was supposed to have come out in december. BF:H May of 2008. BF:BC2 in september.

              This is good news, as long as they take the time to create a version of the game that accommodates the changes and not a direct port, 32 player means the maps should be tuned to that number of players. I wouldn't mind if they pushed it out even further if it meant something more like BF1942 was released.

                          It's so cheap it wouldn't hurt to buy.

                            Sounds reasonable... How about a couple new maps for BF Bad Company I & BF Heroes? (pretty please)
