EDGE is one of the most prestige gaming magazines so we feel really proud of achieving 9/10 from them.

This is a good proof of how great this game really is!

FYI,
Battlefield 1943′s release dates will be released today in the afternoon, CET time.

this is the official and only statement I will give about BF3:

“DICE can confirm that Battlefield 3 is currently in development but at this stage we have no further comments to add.”

But even better news is that we had a good playtest on Battlefield 1943 PC today and I am getting a lot of great feedback from my fellow hardcore PC players here at DICE!
