Game » consists of 4 releases. Released Jul 08, 2009
Return to the Pacific Theater in this simpler, downloadable, console-exclusive sequel to the massive World War II first-person shooter Battlefield 1942. It was later shut down on December 2023.
Penny Arcade sums up Battlefield 1943 perfectly.
You know what annoys me? People who spend the entire game waiting for a vehicle/bunker when they could be out fighting and helping to capture flags.

" @Hitchenson said:Though it is really annoying and hurts the game part of the blame goes to map/game design. If there are no vehicles in the base then on most maps it takes such a long time to walk to combat that you may as well wait, some maps solve this (I know some of the BF1942 Road to Rome maps specifcally make paths for infantry with emplacments to take on vehicles and such). Though people being idiots is part of the open and free gameplay ethos of battlefield." @MisterSpiffy said:It's clear the main point is the thing-thief, but at a stretch it could be bitching about people waiting for shit to spawn.

I have to confess, my first time in a plane ended in quick firey death. I'm better now, but I'm not keen on 'em.
Hahaha, yep pretty much what happens, but I usually don't for the planes as I can't fly them for shit.
Either that or the person who stole the plane from you flies 100 meters across the map, bails out, and parachutes to the ground.
The could have done at least another 2 or 3 on BF:
-the really fucked up lag exit from vehicles
-getting shot in the dome approximately 5 seconds after said bullet had already missed
and my personal favourite:
-the server dumping players on the team with already MORE players therefore contributing to the cycle of spawn camping or "tactical suppression" as they call it.
If vehicles responded instantly and you put the timers on people instead, it would solve the problem. Or you'd have people camping out near the spawned vehicle waiting for their vehicle timer to go down. You can't cure stupid players.
