Battlefield 1943 priced

DICE today announced that downloadable military action game Battlefield 1943 will be available in June for Xbox 360 and PS3, priced 1200 MS Points and $15 respectively. A version for PC will be released in September.

Battlefield 1943 is an all-new multiplayer game that offers 24-player action in popular maps inspired by Battlefield 1942, now updated with the Frostbite engine. The three classic maps include Wake Island, Guadalcanal and Iwo Jima.

Gamers play as the US Marines or the Imperial Japanese Navy, competing by land, air and sea. Choose to be a rifleman crawling through the trenches, a steel fisted tank commander, or a dogfighting pilot that protects the skies.

“Using the same Frostbite engine that we developed for Battlefield: Bad Company, we are able to take players back to WWII and return to the roots of the Battlefield franchise, but with a new twist – destruction,” said Gordon Van Dyke, Producer on Battlefield 1943. “We want to offer gamers the most accessible online shooter experience and the best value found in any premium download title with Battlefield 1943.”
