DICE has confirmed that Battlefield 1943 is now available on the Xbox LIVE Marketplace and will be available tomorrow on the PlayStation Network. Battlefield 1943 is an all-new download-only multiplayer action game that brings DICE’s first-class WWII action to gamers for 1200 MS Points.
Battlefield 1943 introduces two new modes where 24 players can compete across four classic WWII Battlefield maps: Wake Island, Guadalcanal, Iwo Jima and Coral Sea. These maps are inspired by Battlefield 1942, but have been redesigned and reengineered using the DICE Frostbite engine allowing players to rain havoc and destruction via land, sea or air.
The free trial version will feature Wake Island and give players the freedom to choose from the full arsenal of weapons and vehicles on both sides of the battle, either the US Marines or Imperial Japanese Navy.
