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.
Just wondering what everyone would like to see addressed first for 1943. Personally, I'd go for New weapons/classes because if I can't change up my play style I'll still be bored on new maps. I also think the damage needs serious reworking though. I just feel bad when anybody shoots at me with an SMG and tank shells/bombs are embarrassing.
@FireBurger: Yeah I hate using the tank because the shell dont have a great blast radius. I've been in situations where I lob shell after shell at a riffle man and even tough the shell lands five feet away, because its not a direct hit the enemy doesnt die. Oh, and what is up with the "anti tank" bazooka? It shouldn't take more than three direct hits to kill a tank. Unless there is a certain spot on the tank that makes it a softer target I would like to know. This is one of the main reasons I don't use any other class but the sniper. As a sniper I can still pilot a plane and destroy tanks. As a sniper I can plant roadside bombs, stick bombs on the tank itself, or rig up a jeep with bombs and go tank hunting. If I could have the riffleman with remote charges I would be unstopable.
@super_machine: The rear of the tank is more vulnerable, as are the sides, I think. One rocket to the rear of the tank plus a thrown grenade will take it out quickly.

@FireBurger: Ok, I thought that might be the case, but I never seem to score a direct hit to the rear. The few times I played the class with the rocket, Its always some crazy fight to stay alive while I'm trying to rocket a moving tank. I'll stick to my suicide jeep tactic.
