Battlefield 1943 sounds like a downgraded Battlefield 1942...

I haven't played, either, but Game Informer basically said that they took only THREE maps from Battlefield 1942, reworked them a bit, cut down the amount of classes, and then shipped it out. Less classes and less maps? What? Is this the low price-point of this game the stand-out feature, or is there something here I'm missing!?

Imo its one of the best downloadable games out there. I love Bad Company and this one is more of the same. Perfect to me :)

I stopped reading when you said you havent played it :roll: Stop letting magazines think for you and play the game yourself, then you could make your own opinion on the game.Wii_Gamer_277

I really wish you didn't need Gold to at least try the freaking game.

For $15 its some of the most fun I have had.

And TC its a 15$ DLC game that comes with a free map so why complain :roll: Gamer this gen are spoiled yet they feel they have to complain about every single little thing wrong (or right) with a game.Wii_Gamer_277

This year I bought Battlefield 1942: The Complete Collection for only $10. That includes the game both expansions and Battlefield Vietnam. May I repeat $10.

Well it IS a downgrade, sort of, its a small slice of the battlefield games of old, but polished, and incorpirated newer tech, and its 15$.

It is well worth the price, and does what it is ment to. Itreally is a nice game ^^

All I can say really is Battlefield 1942 complete collection $9.99.

[QUOTE="DeathScape666"][QUOTE="SpruceCaboose"] It seems like you are missing something.SpruceCaboose

Pretty much, but it's still a complete blast to play.

It basically is a downgrade. Other than the graphics and the destructible environments. It's also only $15 though.

Ive been playing battlefield games since 1942(lol the game) and yes, you could say its a downgrade. Thing is its very different from 1942, its more action packed, explosive, and refined. I found battlefield 1942 to be slower, more strategic, and more team based. This game you do need a cooperating team to win,but its more of a pick up, play, and have a hell of a time doing it, nothing to serious, its more for having a great time.

It's simple. It's fun. It's cheap.

Oh yeah, and for some reason I get such a kick out of destructible environments. It really makes you think about where you take cover.

EDIT: Why not download the demo and see for yourself?

[QUOTE="DeathScape666"][QUOTE="SpruceCaboose"] Nevermind. Don't worry about playing it or making your own opinion on it. Its just a downgraded version of 1942 that the majority of people seem to love for some reason...killab2oo5

I have a question for the TC.

Hey TC! Do you own a console that you can play BF 1943 on?

If so, please post some sort of proof (GT, PSN, Steam ID will work)

If not. Please feel free to keep pontifacating on subjects you know nothing about, it's really funny for the rest of us.

To answer your question, "What makes BF 1943 so special" Well....It's BF 1942 with decent graphics, destructible environments, tanks, jeeps, and planes. It's a $15 down loadable title that brings BF 1942 to consoles, with some improvements. Yes they cut down the classes from 5 to 3 and the total player count from 32 to 24. If you're in the camp that thinks that more=better, I guess this game isn't for you. Go play Resistance 2 or BF on the PC.

I'm in the camp that says give me quality over quanity anytime. And BF 1943 is quality.

I think this is one of the quickest games that my friends have had a lot of interest, and then lost it all... some people seem to like it though.

It's a great download that features arcade-style play more than tactical. Games can be fun, but at times they are either hit or miss with games being brutal but balanced or completely one-sided and boring (Air Superiority is amazing when both teams have equally skilled players).

doesnt matter how many maps or classes it has, its just an awesome £10 game which is extremely fun, my bro who NEVER plays video games is playing the air superiority mode right now and is doing good at bringing down my K/D ratio :cry:

The thousands playing it seem to be having fun to me.

I really wish you didn't need Gold to at least try the freaking game.

Why do people even ask when they clearly have internet and can go to the official site, read reviews, or just download the trial?SparkyProtocol

I never heard of it. You shouldn't get hyped for a game just because it is exclusive.SparkyProtocol

LOL people here are overly sensitive. The TC was merly asking a question based from what he read from a magazine and a lot of you had a hard time saying yes or no but went straight into defense mode. BillGates_Money
