PC version of BF1943 is delayed untill 2010...

Quote:

The Windows edition of Battlefield 1943 is delayed due to challenges developer DICE is still working through, so gamers will have to wait until early next year to play the PC edition of the online shooter released for Xbox 360 in July. The World War II game was planned for release next month, but an interview on G4tv.com with Battlefield 1943 producer Gordon Van Dyke reveals the PC setback: We haven't released a Frostbite [DICE's game engine] built game on PC, so going into this project we lacked a starting foundation we had on Console. There are also many different and unique only challenges to the PC that has lead to us pushing the release even further to Q1 CY 2010 [early next year]. This was a hard pill to swallow, but it was absolutely needed to ensure the features and functionality that PC Players have come to expect from Battlefield on PC are not missing. Things like support for DirectX 9 and 10, higher player count (up to 32-player matches), wide peripheral support i.e. Joysticks for flying, VoIP, and ranked server provider hosting. So it was and still is the absolutely right decision, for quality sake, to not release until it is ready.

bleh

Mal +1

However having played with the demo on the 360, I quite like the frostbite engine. The control system on the 360 sucks tho.

d'oh looks like raz will be waiting a lil while before we can all play

LOOOL @ Loiny!

On a serious note: it sounds good to me, if they put that extra time in polishing this game.

That's just it, they aren't!! They are simply trying to figure it all out! We'll see...

Well, you and the other fellow sheeps have a lot more experience with the BF-series than I have. So if this thought of yours will come true, I will already make some room on my harddisk for the 10GBs ( ) of patches we have to download and install in the first months.

Yeah!!! Joystick for the planes! Finally!
