Electronic Arts made a surprise announcement last month revealing their plans for Battlefield 1943, a downloadable game that's basically a graphical remake of a few of the levels in Digital Illusions' classic multiplayer shooter Battlefield 1942. Today the developer released three new screenshots showing off more of the game's updated visuals.

While the game will only support 24 players online (as opposed to the original's 64 player limit) Battlefield 1943 will use DICE's internal Frostbite engine for its graphics which means.not only improved graphics but also support for destructible enviroments. The game is due out later this summer and is one of several Battlefield franchise games due out from EA for the PC (the online-only Battlefield Heroes, the modern day shooter Battlefield Bad Company 2 and the Asian-only release Battlefield Online).
