New BF games announced

[Water_Is_Poison18]

Well, now that we know the BF series is going to die, let's hope ArmA2 lives up to expectations.

OkitaMakoto;926222']Bad Company was garbage in my mind. Had a field of view of like 45 degrees it seemed. I felt like I had someone cupping their hands on both sides of my eyes the entire level.

The characters were kinda interesting [I give them that, I liked them after just a demo level] but the gameplay was lame. OMG artillery run in and blow it up, OMG a tank shoot it, OMG explosions.

The lame grain effect was really annoying too... played it on PS3 if that changes anything...

Maybe DICE modified the Frostbite engine for PC? We´ll see..but implementing OLD game maps in a new game?

Ok = if demo.

Retail = I wont buy it.

Possibly unlocks and ranks and..no, it smells. But looks VERY good agree.

that 1943 thingy looks like bf heroes rather... much too childish,glossy and bright

[Longbow*]

imagine 2 guys on the ground MAYBE in one squad, 4 lonewolf retarded snipers, one in tank, two in planes, and 3 tards waiting for planes. There you go. Theres your team. Epic.

fixed

[Cptkanito]

Lets just says, i already have these games...JK I'll be getting these

It looks like BF21943 is download only, so it looks like its a glorified demo?
That would explain there only being 3 maps. There is not mention of the player numbers for BFBC2 - it only says 24 players for BF1943, which I suspect will be a reduced price/free game.

Also the 24 player limit may simply be the limit on consoles, as they struggle with more players. The frostbite engine can support upto 96 players iirc, so I suspect that on the PC version, the limit will be at least 64 players - if not more. It would be a major fail for DICE to release a new BF PC game with less than 64 players, and they know that.

BTW Dont be so negative guys - most of you sound like a bunch of whingeing children.

When BF2 came out it pushed the limits of the hardware at the time. Its only recently that daul core processors, and significantly faster gfx cards have become widespread, which now allows improved gfx etc. If they had released a clone of BF2, maybe a year or two ago, and simply called it BF3 - all you complaining f***tards would have be the first people to cry.
In the last 3 years, they have developed a completely new engine, and released several other games - DICE isnt that big a team - give them a break ffs!

Somehow BF1943 reminds me of that Battlefield Heroes. You know, that presumably scrapped/forever delayed attempt at a "free" Battlefield game.

Watch the HD trailer closely. Around 0:27 - 0:29... that guy on the right runs exactly like the cartoon characters in Heroes!

Plus, with only 24 person multiplayer, 3 maps, and for download only. BF1943 already smells like either a glorified demo or the remnants of the Heroes project.

[CodeRedFox]

This game might be coming out as there will be a new Band of brothers set in the Pacific. Maybe there are just trying to cash in on timing.


Taking on COD sounds like a bad idea.

BF1943
1.) Download only! Including Xbox Live and Playstation Network
2.) 24 person mulitplayer
3.) only 3 maps. Wake Island, Iwo Jima, and Guadalcanal
4.) Available this summer

EA/DICE has already stated that BF1943 is just something to hold us over until Battlefield: Bad Company 2 (BF:BC2).

From the BF:BC2 website: Battlefield: Bad Company 2

To get ready for the assault this winter, players can prepare for action in Battlefield 1943, an all-new multiplayer game available this summer via Playstation Store, Xbox LIVE Marketplace, and on the PC.

What an awful idea.

[Water_Is_Poison18]

Actually, I'll wait to see how it's priced. If it's about 15-20 american dollars, I might be willing to except it as a "mini-BF". If they charge the regular price ($50) for the game, you can forget it.

Let's just hope the up the player cap for BC2

I thought the same initially, (based on the player models), but Heros is based on the BF2 engine, and the grafix on the trailer look like theyre from the frostbite engine.

Battlefield Heroes - Free to Play, Cartoon Shooter

[DesmoLocke]

Already rumors flying around saying it'll be free on the Xbox marketplace... A quick Google search did not turn up anything to either confirm or deny the rumor however.

[DesmoLocke]

Apparently, Battlefield Heroes is back online. I just signed up for the beta.
Battlefield Heroes - Free to Play, Cartoon Shooter

A large amount of news today. I wonder if it's due to the economy, EA laying off thousands of workers, and the Q4 earnings/loss report. Probably....

The official release:

Before Rejoining the ‘B’ Company, Players Go Back to WWII in Battlefield 1943

Today we announcing Battlefield: Bad Company 2™, the sequel to last year’s blockbuster title. In this installment, the Bad Company crew again find themselves in the heart of the action, where they must use every weapon and vehicle at their disposal to survive. The action unfolds with unprecedented intensity, introducing a level of fervor to vehicular warfare never before experienced in a modern warfare action game. To get ready for the assault this winter, players can prepare for action in Battlefield 1943™, an all-new multiplayer game available this summer via PlayStation®Store, Xbox LIVE™ Marketplace and on the PC.

In Battlefield: Bad Company 2, the‘B’ company fight their way through snowy mountaintops, dense jungles and dusty villages. With a heavy arsenal of deadly weapons and a slew of vehicles to aid them, the crew set off on their mission and they are ready to blow up, shoot down, blast through, wipe out and utterly destroy anything that gets in their way. Total destruction is the name of the game, delivered as only the DICE next generation Frostbite™ engine can. Either online or offline, enemies will soon learn there is nowhere to hide. Battlefield: Bad Company 2 will be available for the Xbox 360® videogame and entertainment system, the PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system and the PC.

Using the same Frostbite™ engine, Battlefield 1943 takes players back to WWII. The game offers endless hours of 24 player multiplayer action over three classic and tropic locations; Wake Island, Guadalcanal and Iwo Jima. Delivering the award-winning through-the-gun and vehicle warfare online experience DICE is best recognized for, Battlefield 1943will have players battling in ruthless aerial dog fights and intense trench combat. Players can see the game in action at New York Comic Con (Booth #1441) from February 6th-8th.

“Bad Company 2 takes everything that players liked in the original and ups the ante – more vehicles, more destruction and more team play,” said Karl Magnus Troedsson, Executive Producer Battlefield Franchise, DICE. “Battlefield 1943 is a new take on a blast from the past classic coming to life with brand new technology that we’re eager to get into players hands.”

Hey you got to do a few fatties before you score a hot chick

Maybe allot of these bf2 games are test beds for something larger.
