Flying an airplane is just as tricky as it was in BF1942, but that makes it so much more rewarding when you successfully dive-bomb a moving tank, or avoid being shot down during an intense dogfight. This is one game that warrants a spectator mode, but sadly doesn’t support one.Īs you would expect from a Battlefield game, the vehicles are in tact. I had so many “moments” while playing last night, that I didn’t know where to start when telling my wife what an awesome time I had. The action in BF1943 is frantic, constant, and unforgettable! I don’t recall BF1942 being so intense and incredible to witness and be a part of. Just like in Bad Company, the award will fall from the top of the screen with the title and a nice little musical ditty when acquired. The awards in BF1943 can be earned over-and-over-again.

There are only 3 maps (while a forth map, Coral Sea will be unlocked once a community goal of 43,000 kills is reached) and 3 classes. It’s hard to call Battlefield 1943 a stripped-down version of the original game, but I guess technically it is.

Now it’s here, in our hands, and it’s bloody brilliant! Needless to say, I was just a little excited when I caught wind of Battlefield 1943 – a pseudo remake of this classic game. It was not only a blast to play, but also quite influential in that it paved the way for many online conquest style games to follow. It’s been nearly 7 years since the release of Battlefield 1942, but I often find myself looking back on the countless hours I spent playing that game with fond memories.
