    Love playing Battlefield 1943!

    This has to be one of the arcade games I have looked forward to most since the Xbox came out. Could be I was influenced by all the hours of fun I had with 1942 when it came out back in the day and how many of my non-gamer friends that would get excited about going to the local lan gaming spot for a BF night.

    Was a little worried the first day nothing worked but I finally was able to get on a server tonight and played 2 hours straight and had to tear myself away from it or I would have played it all night. Can't wait till some of my friends pick it up and we can have some fun as a squad. Maybe even pick up the achievement...

    Yeah it's changed a little bit with less classes and made a bit more simple for most part but it's great to just get in for a couple of games and still get a lot of fun out of it. The destructible environments are pretty cool and have seen a lot of crazy things with that happen, wish I could have taken a screen shot of a tank on it's side crazily spinning around on it's tread. Also on one of the matches everything around the flags were completely blown up so it was pretty much no mans land out their by the flags...

    Only bad I see is for some reason the sound is funny for me, swear it cuts out or sounds funny and I can't catch things like people sneaking up like in other shooters... Oh well, could just be my set up.

    Anyway, best $15 bucks I have spent on a xbla game!

      Multiplayer mayhem on the cheap 0

      I've had a somewhat up and down experience with the Battlefield franchise- I enjoy the basic Battlefield formula, but the games' extreme focus on online multiplayer have always made them feel a bit overpriced to me. However, when Battlefield 1943 burst onto the scene as a small downloadable title, I was instantly sold. It may not contain the quantity of goodies that a full scale game would have, but that doesn't stop Battlefield 1943 from being one of the absolute best multiplayer experiences yo...

      Let's cut to the chase, this is one of the best packages for your hard earned cash and is definitely worth a download for any FPS fan. With that said I can continue with my reasons. This is down to the fact of how DICE has managed to create a big game for a small asking price, creating a somewhat mini version of Bad Company whilst bringing fond memories back to fans of Battlefield 1942.This is a multiplayer title only offering 24 players to duke it out across three maps, and a fourth to be added...
