The later PC release of 1943--the $15 download hits consoles in June and computers in September--is because of the extra development time needed to bring the previously console-only Frostbite technology to the PC and "create a proper PC version of Battlefield 1943 and not a console port," Van Dyke previously stated.
One thing that definitely won't change, however, is the three class limit. And it's doubtful that any changes made to the PC version would come to the console editions.
...count me out then. I mean... they're still considering removing regen, but not adding medics? What the hell?
...And when pressed on BF3...
Shack: That said, I have to ask, where's Battlefield 3?
Van Dyke: There is no Battlefield 3 [laughter]. That's just a rumor! Where's that PDF? It doesn't exist! [laughter]
[People]just need to be patient and wait. DICE isn't going anywhere. There's going to be more games, and I think that those games are really gonna hit what it is that people are seeking from a Battlefield game in the next generation.
Seriously, Van Dyke.. stop teasing. I don't want the market over saturated with core installments into the franchise. I don't need a new Battlefield game every year. I'm glad that EA doesn't seem to be pushing that direction quite as hard as Activision has with Call of Duty... but it's been what... five years?
loads of ppl are gonna buy this and it'll be a blast as usual. also it's kind of ringing in the digital distribution era. about time, as i have several hundred game discs lying around and it starting to get annoying.

As for the game, will prob buy this. 1200 MP seems fair.

I think we're due for a damned sequel.
