Electronic Arts has announced that Battlefield 1943, its latest WWI-themed first person shooter from subsidiary studio Dice, will launch as a download-only game on Xbox Live (on July 8) and PlayStation Network (on July 9) for just $15. The first-person shooter builds on the award-winning Battlefield 1942 and takes players into four Pacific battles (Wake Island, Iwo Jima, Coral Sea, and Guadalcanal). And the game comes with a community challenge for social gamers: to work together on the Coral Sea battle to reach 43 million kills across both Xbox Live and PlayStation Network. Battlefield 1943 lets players participate in each battle in two modes on land, sea, and in the air as either a U.S. Marine or a member of the Japanese Imperial Navy taking on a number of roles, from a rifleman to a pilot to a tank commander.
