Some eagle-eyed members of our forums noticed (http://www.totalgamingnetwork.com/main/showthread.php?t=185762) a news post on Jeuxactu.com (http://www.jeuxactu.com), a French gaming website, reporting that EA/DICE (http://www.dice.se) has supposedly announced a new Battlefield game dubbed Battlefield 1943 Pacific, for Xbox 360 and PS3. Here's the article in question, courtesy of Google Translate (http://translate.google.com/translate?prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&u=http://www.jeuxactu.com/article-35186-ea-annonce-battlefield-1943-pacific.html&sl=fr&tl=en&history_state0=):
While the first images of Battlefield: Bad Company 2 are still waiting, Electronic Arts and DICE have announced a new variation of the Battlefield license, which will operate the latest version of the Frostbite engine: Battlefield 1943 Pacific. This umpteenth FPS on the Pacific will allow players s'étriper social Conquest mode on three of the most famous maps of Battlefield 1942: Guadalcanal, Iwo Jima and Wake Island. Destructible buildings, vehicles flying, rolling or floating, the worshipers of the series will not be at home but frankly can unwind in the idyllic scenery, galvanized by the soft roar of 23 other angry. Hostilities begin this summer on X360 and PS3.Update: In addition, Kotaku (http://kotaku.com/5146703/rumor-battlefield-1943-pacific-appearing-at-ny-comic-con) is pointing to a listing of events at the New York Comic Con (http://www.nycomiccon.com) that indicated "Battlefield 1943: Pacific Postcards" would be handed out. The mentions of Battlefield 1943 have since been removed, but Google has come to the rescue yet again with Google Cache (http://209.85.173.132/search?q=cache:dfAHvdllS98J:www.nycomiccon.com/app/PrintFriendly.cfm%3FLinkID%3D29733%26moduleID%3D25 23%26appname%3D100453+%22battlefield+1943+pacific% 22&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=7&gl=us&client=firefox-a) storing the page.
