XBLA: Battlefield 1943 Next Week
DICE, an Electronic Arts Inc. studio, today announced that Battlefield 1943 will be exclusively available July 8th on Xbox LIVE Marketplace. Battlefield 1943 is an all-new download-only action game that brings DICE’s first-class vehicular warfare to gamers for just 1200 MS Points.
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.
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 Xbox LIVE. 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.”

what does 1200 ms points equate to roughly in great british paaaahnds?
LOL at the ‘paaahnds’ its about £10.20, but to get 1200 points on the console you need to buy 1500 for £12.75 which will leave 300 points spare…
I WILL be getting this!!!
oh Jason, don’t let your inner fanboy post false information. It also hits PSN the 9th. Not 1 ounce of “exclusive”
I didn’t write any of the press release - I guess it’s Xbox360 Exclusive for the day perhaps since it hits on the 8th? Not my words…
Jordan, you are so stupid….But I WILL GET THIS!!!
There is ways to get 1200 on the console without having to buy 1500. I use the Zune program on my PC, which has different point values you can buy. 400, 800, 1200, 2000, 4000. No need to give more then what you need to.
