The main reason? DICE is busy. Apparently it's working so hard on the next two Battlefield games that it doesn't have time to show BF1943 any extra love at all, which is a bit perplexing given the popularity of the title. "

There are twenty-four new screens in all that were added.
EA has recently released their 2009 Q4 and 2010 Q1 fiscal reports and the information provided has made Battlefield 1943 the best selling download only game on consoles to date.
That Dice focuses more on the BC and regular Battlefield series on the PC. Loved 1943, but loved BC2 and BF2142 much more.
New maps are what I need. This game is a beast and totally deserves the achievement.
Good to see their success.
But I found it interesting that it said:
"...along with EA becoming the #1 publisher on every platform except for Nintendo platforms. EA is the #1 third party publisher on those platforms however."
I guess that means that they took back the spot from activision? I guess thats good as Dead Space made me like EA enough, and Im not a big fan of activision lately. Take that KOtic.
kinda stopped playing after i picked up bad company 2. maybe i should hop back on if people are still playing.
Here's a very good video (if we do say so ourselves) showing off what I believe to be the 10 best games on the PlayStation Store at the moment. Enjoy!
i don't think it is releasing DLC for DLC's sake, not when there are only 3 damn maps. it is kinda required they will miss a great opportunity to keep the momentum going until BC2 drops. then we can step straight into that game with no slowdown of action. 1943 is a great idea to get people over from COD but don't blow it by appearing to show no love to it after it is released. you have to keep up the momentum durung MW2 release. i'll take 1943 over MW2 multiplayer any day.
this should have been their strategy from the beginning... 3 maps and then 3 more in about 3-4 months after release. that would be the smart move, but i can see their side of the story given how notorious the industry is for overworking employees.
what if we ask nicely DICE?
Battle... Field... 3?
My pants just tightened.
ok idk about 1943 over mdwf2 multiplayer, were not even sure what its truely gunna be like, obvi its not gunna be as open and big as 43' or mag but iw never fails lol, but i say they shouldnt waste there time on dlc
