» Battlefield 1943 PC delayed

In an interview with G4TV, Battlefield 1943 producer Gordon Van Dyke reveals that the PC port of Battlefield 1943 has been pushed back to 2010. Van Dyke mentions the following issues the team has run into, which has caused the delay:
We haven't released a Frostbite [DICE's game engine] built game on PC, so going into this project we lacked a starting foundation we had on Console. There are also many different and unique only challenges to the PC that has lead to us pushing the release even further to Q1 CY 2010 [early next year].

This was a hard pill to swallow, but it was absolutely needed to ensure the features and functionality that PC Players have come to expect from Battlefield on PC are not missing. Things like support for DirectX 9 and 10, higher player count (up to 32-player matches), wide peripheral support i.e. Joysticks for flying, VoIP, and ranked server provider hosting. So it was and still is the absolutely right decision, for quality sake, to not release until it is ready.

Here is an idea... simply don't buy the game on PC. They must be taught!

Honestly, why are they wasting time on this? Let's see some BF3 in 2010 before I loose my mind with all these console ports and quit PC gaming altogether.
