EA DICE have released another new trailer for Battlefield 1943, the next addition to their flagship first person shooter franchise and a return again to World War II, this time in the Pacific Theatre.

Today's trailer showcases the Wake Island map - a familiar sight for most Battlefield players as it has made appearances in Battlefield 2, 1942, 2142 and Vietnam in various forms. Check it out right here on AusGamers.

In other news EA have announced a competition for it's fans. Construct a sentence using these three words Horse, whip dead and go into the draw to win EA's last remaining clue.

Dead horse would imply that EA don't still make truckloads of cash from this series. I think what you're looking for is more a cow milking expression.

I'm interested, will give the demo a go, but if the gameplay and feel is anything like BF2 I'll pass.. (I loved BF2, but I'm so f***ing over it years ago).

Battlefield 1942 was the mofo bomb.

Yes it was, this should be sweet as.

It looks f***en awesome. As long as they keep alot of the original gameplay from the old one I will be happy to play the same game on a new engine.

Woot, cant wait :)

I saw a gameplay video on youtube with a developer who said 43 will have Unlimtied ammo. And that means the game will suck dick.

I will be all over this like jews on a spilt bag of change.

This over Live will be crazy good fun. Can't wait!

Very Very pumped for this one ...while ww2 was so yesterday I have had a break for so long now that I am ready to suck it up and get all nostalgic and kick some ww2 butt...

This game is looking real nice though ..or maybe its just the editing in the trailer :S

I was pumped for it until I saw that its max player limit is 24.....

So you're not gonna play it because it only has 24 players? Your loss.

Personally I only play games that have max player limits of 256 or more, otherwise what's the point right?

He never said he wasn't going to play.
Now that I have heard that it is only 24, I'm disappointed too.
What happened to 64? That is what some of the old battlefield experience was all about. Massive battles, utter chaos. So long as transport spawns scale with the number of players, why not have the options for 64 players.

64 players is silly, everyone knows world war 2 was fought by small teams of 12 people each.

So wait, is this actually coming on PC? I just watched the trailer and it only says XBox Live marketplace and PSN? No way I'd play this on a console, it better be coming to PC.

Edit: Gay, just read on gamespot that the PC version doesn't come out till September.
