Dice has announced the sequel to the first hit Bad Company. Bad company was originally a console based version of the game with no port to pc. Bad Company 2 will be cross platform compatible which is awesome for us pc gamers. Only thing im concerned about as well as BF 1943, is that Directx 10 is required, as it will be with Battlefield 3 eventually.

Go over to the site and read up on it, not to much info yet but its a taste of whats to come.

From the guys that brought us Battlefield 2 and all other titles have now put together what seems like a downloadable verison of Battlefield 1943. Note the original of this was the Battlefield 1942 which was a huge success.

Watching the demo, i have to say im excited for this and cant wait to try it out. Its gonna be incorporating the Frostbite DX engine which is used in the Bad Company series. This title will also be available not only for PC but for xbox live and Playstation.

There will be 3 maps and 2 factions (US and Chinese). Play as either an infantry member crawling through mayhem to unlease carnage on the ground, or as a hard assed tank commander, and the final choice of a pilot which catches my eye every time :) The maps will be Gaudalcanal, Iwo Jima, and the classic Wake Island. Each map will have a max of 24 players.

The Frostbite engine will allow for better physics and realism. Map objects are now way more destroyable than any other title. The weapons are obviously all based on the era and they look fun indeed.

Keep posted for the download availability..
