New Battlefield Game Announced

Well DICE and EA just announced that the next game in the Battlefield series is going to be... wait for it... Battlefield 1943... Wow... So this is what I've been waiting for? Come on guys (and gals)! You're going backward for Science's sake. What's even worse is that it's going to be released on all platforms including the Xbox 360, PS3 and the PC which means, of course, that is going to be dumbed down to accommodate all systems. No 64 player online multiplayer matches-- it caps off at 24 players. Really? I'm really curious to see how they are going to market this game. What fresh, new features are going to blow everyone away? New weapons in WWII? Doubt it. According to the press release, the game is going to consist of three reworked maps from BF 1942 including (without surprise) Wake Island which has been remade for BF2 and BF2142 already. The press release didn't offer many details, but it seems to me that this isn't a full blown sequel and I hope it's not. And if it's not, then why even bother? If it is, then what a shitty follow up. The official website can be found here with a trailer that doesn't show any gameplay footage. I love, LOVE the BF series but this just isn't doing it for me... Not yet at least.
