DICE advances World War II by a year in June, announcing the release date and pricing details for their downloadable online multiplayer shooter Battlefield 1943.

A small slice of World War II is coming to the PlayStation network and Xbox Live Arcade on June 15th in DICE's Frostbyte-driven update to Battlefield 1942. It's the US Marines against the Imperial Japanese Navy as gamers participate in 24-player battles across Wake Island, Guadalcanal and Iwo Jima. Utilizing the Frostbyte Engine for the game means that all of the wonderful destruction from Battlefield: Bad Company is taking a trip back in time, meaning if you can't kill an opponent who is hiding you can more than likely kill his hiding place.

All of this for a mere $15, or 1200 Microsoft points. Sounds like a bargain to me. Look for the Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network versions in June, with the PC version coming in September for some odd reason.

$15 is very nice. (Only 3 maps, but... $15)

Sad that I gotta wait till September, tho.

[DatGuy]

why do you have to wait?

PC version?

[Chenzo]

PC version, yes.

you big plane noobie

I was actually more of a chopper guy in the BF series, got pretty good at them actually but i use the keyboard/mouse for choppers and my stick for planes. Chenz is a great pilot, way better than me in planes for sure.

[Chenzo]

YEah...

WANT FLYING.

I know I'll be happy when I fly really low to the ground and kill infantry by clipping them with the wings of the aircraft.

THAT shit is pure happiness.
