More of a reminder than anything else... Also have a low, low price so don't miss it! Additionally, it appears that when we all get a combined 43 million kills you get to unlock yet another level... Sweetness! Battlefield 1942 was the game that built up our PC Platoon, if this doesn't do anything for it nothing ever will... At a cheaper price point to boot, so no excuses.
Fight on Land, Sea or Air in Battlefield 1943 on July 8th... Ooh-Rah!!
DICE, an Electronic Arts Inc. studio (NASDAQ:ERTS), today announced that Battlefield 1943™ will be exclusively available July 8 th on Xbox LIVE™ Marketplace and July 9 th on the PlayStation®Network. Battlefield 1943 is an all-new download-only action game that brings DICE’s first-class vehicular warfare to gamers for just $15, or 1200 MS Points. Buying my points now!!
Battlefield 1943 is a critically-acclaimed First-Person Shooter (FPS) multiplayer game
that puts players in the middle of a dogfight on land, sea or in the skies. The game introduces two thrilling new modes that can be played across four classic Battlefield tropical WWII maps: Wake Island, Guadalcanal, Iwo Jima and Coral Sea. These maps are inspired by the award winning Battlefield 1942™ game, but have been redesigned and reengineered using the DICE destructible Frostbite™ engine which takes down walls, blockades and cover spots, leaving players with almost nowhere to hide. The game delivers endless hours of social online gameplay – an extraordinary value at just $15.
The Coral Sea map which is included in the game will be unlocked as part of a worldwide community challenge, where players will work together to reach 43M kills on both Xbox LIVE and the PlayStation Network. To help gamers reach that goal, up to 24 players can play together online in countless matches. They will have the freedom to compete by land, air and sea as either the US Marines or the Imperial Japanese Navy. Whether they choose to play the role of a rifleman crawling through the trenches, a steel-fisted tank commander, or a dog fighting ace pilot, gamers will have the power to rule the Battlefield.
“Battlefield 1943 is going to change consumer expectations of what a downloadable game can be. By offering Frostbite’s next generation destruction technology with a full Vehicle Warfare FPS multiplayer experience at a mere 560MB, Battlefield 1943 sets a new standard,” said Gordon Van Dyke, Producer on Battlefield 1943.
“Our goal is to blow people away with a fully accessible, retail-calibre game for veteran Battlefield fans and shooter fans alike to enjoy for only $15.”

The game will be available on the PC in September.

Wrong Number 02/19/2008: Gamer Thomas Ballard, 29, elated at his victory in an an XBOX game, meant to call up a friend to brag about his success accidentally dialed a wrong number, exclaiming "I have killed them all!" to the woman who picked up, before realising his mistake. Louisiana police arrived at his Delhi home, and although they found no evidence of wrongdoing for expressing his video game glee, they did discover that he had a 5-year-old warrant out for his arrest for a cocaine possession charge.
Ouch
4 Player CoOp, 16-Player Versus, What could it be?
For those of us that loved the original, Crackdown 2 is coming soon:
Ruffian Games is doubling up on the number of people who can tear up Pacific City co-operatively or competitively in Crackdown 2.
Co-op in the original Crackdown was one of the most chaotically fun multiplayer experiences to be had on the Xbox 360 at the time of the game's release, but times have changed since then, and games like Left 4 Dead have shown that when it comes to working together, the more is very much the merrier.
Crackdown 2 dev Ruffian Games, then, is designing its game with that mentality in mind. According to the info on the game's official Xbox.com page, Crackdown 2 will double up on the multiplayer mayhem by allowing up to four players to work co-operatively in the game's campaign mode. Four-man contests to see who can throw a dead body the furthest off the bridge into the ocean? Yes please.
That's not where the multiplayer side of Crackdown 2 ends, however. In addition to co-op, Ruffian is adding a new competitive multiplayer element to the series with some sort of versus mode that'll hold from two to 16 players at a time. No details on what exactly this mode will be, but I imagine it'll involve lots of people jumping around trying to shoot each other out of the air.
I for one cannot wait to be corpse juggled and called an ethnic slur by some 12-year-old kid over Xbox Live who got their hands on a homing rocket launcher.
Hello to all ^APEX^ members. This is Old Man 62. I'm posting an intro per the instructions...so here goes.
I was born a poor white child in a small town in Italy (no...really) My family moved back to the states when I was very young (2 yrs) as my dad was in the Air Force and his time was up overseas.
I grew up in the South East (Alabama and Georgia), graduated HS in '81 and went directly into the US Navy. Spent ~11 years as a nuclear plant operator, left the Navy and wound up in a small town in Western SC, and have been here since.
I'm currently a Senior Nuclear Engineer working for a company that operates the Savannah River Site and am working on my Masters in Nuclear Engineer.
I've been gaming since 'PONG' and haven't stopped. My fav. formats are 1st person shooters and racing games. Gaming is my one great passion (I've got alot of other passions, but they're not so great...:).
I'm married with three sons (24, 22, 18) and have a wonderful life here in Aiken, SC.
Please consider my interest as a full member as I believe there is a brotherhood (and sister, Mighty..:) that we all should seek and in which we should belong.
MIGHTY has encouraged me to join and has mentioned she would vouch for me.
Hi to everyone, I submitted an application, and hope to be accepted. My best friend, ^APEX^Rhythm, got me playing online a couple of years ago, and has talked about how great the guys are at ^APEX^, and your code of conduct. I'm thrilled that I might be considered for membership. Thanks, Mark mcball
