Battlefield 1943 Appreciation Thread

I know I am a bit late on this but I just wanted to point out to the uninformed just how exceptional this game is. It may have a limited feature set but for $14.99 you get quite a bit of bang for your buck and considering it's solely multiplayer the replayability is high and there is a simple progression system that keeps your rank. There are only three land maps and one aerial map but the maps are all of impressive scale and proportion. The action is never dull aside from the few moments you have to spend running from one side of the island to the other (usually short-way, not long way... you'll die easy that way) but other than trying to hitch a ride from someone when they're leaving you in the dust the game really offers non-stop excitement. The FrostBite Engine really does a good job of representing the calamity of a warzone and the smoke/particle effects are virtually second to none. There are a few glitches here and there (must I remind you, $14.99) but for anyone looking for a solid online FPS for their PS3... look no further.

It's a good "pick up and play" time killer or "break game".

I love it. I've got 55+ hours logged, definitely worth the $14.99.

Last time I played I went 43 kills - 5 deaths over 2 matches. Felt good.

Yeah for the price tag you cant really beat what you get out of it. Im a huge fan of the BF series and this was a nice addition and a great buy for someone who maybe is new to the series and wants to try it out.

Addictive game

yeah i really like this game, its awesome especially for the low price

I downloaded the demo of this because I love the battlefield system, but I recently picked up Battlefield: Bad Company because it was only 20 bucks brand new. How do these two games compare in terms of online play (from those of you that have played or play both) and should I consider getting 1943?

I don't have the full game but I played the demo for Bad Company and I have to say, the controls are much improved in 1943. Faster, more precise, and you don't have to hold down L3 to run.
