EA issuing pre-order refunds for Battlefield 1943 PC, release date still unknown
Quote:
Yesterday, it was reported EA was issuing refunds to those who pre-ordered Battlefield 1943 on PC.
Today, we received confirmation from EA it is indeed issuing refunds to those who request it.
According to a source close to Examiner, a refund was requested on a Battlefield 1943 pre-order, and customer service told the purchaser the game would be released on July 9.
However, once July 9 came and went, the user was given a “no questions asked” refund by EA.
We contacted EA to verify this, and to see if it had a date for the long-awaited PC version of the game.
This is what we were told by an EA representative: “All pre-orders can be canceled with refund at anytime and we do not have any further information at this time about a release date for the PC version of Battlefield 1943.”

News: China terrifies world with giant Optimus Prime
Imposing statue stands 40 feet tall, built from six tons of recycled junk
It looks like a giant robot arms race is brewing. Last week, sensational images of a giant Gundam replica in Tokyo’s Odaiba Shiokaze park were sighted. The towering 59-foot tall mech was built by Bandai to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Gudam franchise.
Recently, images of an equally imposing Optimus Prime statue from Beijing arrived. The Prime statue pictured above is 40 feet tall, falling just short of Japan’s gigantic Gundam – and was crafted from six tons of recycled car parts and junk metal. The fact that this impressive Prime was built from scrap seems fitting for the leader of the Autobots. It's currently on display at Beijing's Green Dream Park, along with other giant art displays made from recycled materials to promote a low-carbon lifestyle.
Above: This big Prime can be found at Beijing's Green Dream Park. It's meant to inspire you to recycle more, but we find it rather frightening

Bad Company 2 Owners Now Have Access to the Medal of Honor Beta!
Product Release - Valve
Jul 15, 2010
Do you own Battlefield: Bad Company 2 on Steam? If so, you now have access to the Medal of Honor beta! Download it from your games library and jump into the fast and furious multiplayer action created by DICE and prove that you are Tier 1! Click here to install the Medal of Honor beta now.
At the beginning of each project, the team at Treyarch digs in and goes to work on engine enhancements with a focus on supporting the demands of the new environments and gameplay for our next title. For Black Ops, it was important to the team to have incredible photo-realistic lighting, huge draw distances, explosive destruction and effects, and mind-blowing character details.
We completely re-tooled the lighting system from soup to nuts, integrated texture streaming which makes levels like “Payback” possible, and provided our artists the tools and platform they needed to create stunning characters with detail down to their pores! We also went big overhauling the physics, jungle, water, and fire tech – the list goes on and on. You can see what we’re talking about from our gallery, but no screenshot even comes close to what you’ll be experiencing November 9th 2010!
