    A low price Battlefield that feels like a full price game

    This is a great example of what other publishers should do: Release a low price game that offers a great multiplayer experience like a full game should feel like, and Battlefield 1943 is a great example of this.
    When I first buy it and I couldn't get online because there were too many people on the server, I thought that I shouldn't had bought the game (1200ms points or 15 dlls) because I had Battlefield Bad Company and I can play it wherever I want... but I was wrong when I started playing the game. There are three classes: Riflemen, Infantry and Scout and you maybe thinking, where's the medic? well, the health in this game is regenerative, so you don't need the medic, at all.

    This game has only Conquest mode that consist on two teams trying to conquer the territories, and there's a status bar for the two teams that starts decreasing when the opposing teams has more territories.
    One of the best things in the game is that everyone starts on a boat drop-ship and there are 2 planes and 4 boats, so if you get a plane, you start shooting other planes or you shoot people trying to reach the island. Or if you get a boat, you can reach the island and start conquering territories. There are only 3 maps: Iwo Jima, Guadalcanal and Wake Island but now there's the Coral Sea map but in this moment is only available on the Xbox 360 version. You maybe thinking that you are gonna get bored with only 3 or 4 maps, but the replay value on this game is outstanding, I have been playing it for around 4 hours non-stop and I can tell you that you are gonna do the same.

    In conclusion, this game is a must-buy for every Battlefield or FPS fan out there. It has fast-paced action and has a big replayability, so you aren't gonna get bored easily.

      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...

      Video Review Battlefield 1943 0

      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...
