PS3Vault: 'Battlefield is a hugely successful pedigree of gaming brilliance. With huge, open maps that are filled with players, tanks and jeeps that are all under a dogfight-dominated sky, it's easy to see why the game was so successful. Who doesn't want to bomb people as they're taking the flag? Who doesn't want to parachute onto a capture point, skillfully take out the enemies guarding it and secure yourself 30 points, whilst looking awesome and feeling like James Bond's slightly more badass son?
Well, if you do (and who doesn't?), BF1943 is the game for you. At just £10/$15 on the Playstation Store, this game is an absolute steal, despite it's flaws. Just like other Battlefield games, the maps are huge and, if you've played Battlefield online before, you'll probably recognise the maps. It comes with 3, Wake Island, Guadalcanal and Iwo Jima, plus Coral Sea, which was unlocked after 43 million kills was reached and is an Air Superiority only map. Air Superiority is exactly as it sounds – everyone gets in a plane and dogfights. Meanwhile, the usual mode is the zone capture affair you might expect from Battlefield.'
EA: "As we close in on 15 years since the release of Battlefield 1943, and Bad Company™ 1 & 2, we are announcing that their journey is coming to an end."
This reminds me... I have ME on my PS3 hdd. Never really played it, but it was free.
On PC I don't think it's much of a problem but I'm sad to see BF43 being shut down. I haven't played it in a while since it's stuck on PS3, but i preferred it way more over BF3. It was the lack of invisible barriers which made it better for me.
Does anyone play the last BF anymore? I searched crossplay servers and it was 20 people the most on all the servers? Can never find a game
Carlos writes: "In terms of Battlefield, the past 10 years has seen the series go from strength to strength, and whilst there will be many who would argue that the hit and miss adventures of Battlefield: Hardline didn’t quite live up to the excitement that the series is so well known for, each and every entry has at least provided plenty to shout about. Should you look back far enough and manage to take your mind away from Battlefield: Bad Company 2, what you may well remember is a small, online-only multiplayer adventure that lit up the Xbox Live Arcade – Battlefield 1943."
Great little game but yet again, no offline bots so once the servers went, so did all its players. What a waste.
Game developers should - and can - trust the player to consume their entertainment while maintaining perspective.
I just finished playing the demo for this game and it's awesome!!! It's definitely the best gaming deal available for it's price.
