I wasn’t much of a Battlefield 1942 fan. In fact, I was playing Return to Castle Wolfenstein’s multiplayer when the game debuted and didn’t enjoy how the game felt. So you will have to excuse me if I seem a little cold towards the upcoming PSN/XBLA/PC downloadable title, Battlefield 1943: Pacific. It’s a ‘remake’ of some the classic Battlefield 1942 maps like Wake Island. Sounds interesting considering I was a fan of the Battlefield 2 version, Wake Island 2007.
Let’s breakdown what this upcoming game will provide:
- Geared towards pick up and play
- Will cost approximately $15 – $20
- Will be approximately 350 MB
- Will only have three classes: Infantry, Riflemen, and Scout
- Will have auto-regnerating health and unlimited ammo
- Will be powered by the Frostbite engine which was used in Battlefield: Bad Company
- Supports up to 24 players

A few days ago, the gaming press were invited to “Capcom’s Digital Day”, an event Capcom cooked up to promote, reveal and show off their latest and upcoming digital offerings. Most, if not all, the games shown there will be available through digital distribution only.
