DICE and EA have announced that both Battlefield Bad Company 2 (the successor to Bad Company on the consoles) and Battlefield 1943 are coming to both the PC, X360 and PS3. Unlike traditional Battlefield series the 1943 one is not coming on a DVD or Blu-ray but will only be available through Digital distribution platforms (Xbox Marketplace, PSN Store). 

The question that remains however is if EA will decide to make both games available on Steam as they did the same for Mirrors Edge and some other new games. In my opinion I think we will be seeing both of them on Steam and I can only hope that EA will decide likewise.

For now you may checkout the Battlefield 1943 trailer below:

Bad Company 2

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 1943 will 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.”
