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.
