So, I recently got Battlefield 1943 from the Xbox Live Marketplace for 50% with my spare MS points. I generally dislike anything that relates to WWII, but I have nothing else to get with my spare points, and I felt the need to use them. So, I went ahead and bought it, and the download was pretty quick, which is about the only good thing about this game...
I launched up the game, and I was shocked. I launched into a game of [i]epic[/i] lag, and my later games were also compromised with a fair bit of lag. By the way, I don't lag in much else, and I have Comcast in California. And the [u]depth[/u] of the game is simply amazing. There are four maps, three classes, and maybe three kinds of vehicles(four if you decide to count the little boat). First, the maps. Aside from Air Superiority(which sucks ass), there are three maps. Iwo Jima, Wake Island(which I have yet to play), and Guadalcanal. Yes, three, which isn't too bad for a half gig of a 3-D arcade game. But seriously, they are pretty much the exact same thing with differently shaped islands. Now, into the classes. In Battlefield 1943, you pretty much have infinite ammo. You just wait for your ammo to recharge. Infinite mags for whatever rifle you have, infinite grenades, infinite remote detonated explosives, infinite rockets, you just wait for it all to "recharge". That is...acceptable with the fact that [b]every single weapon sucks ass in BF1943![/b] Tanks:Their cannon sucks huge balls, I swear, I shot a jeep and the 3 enemies around it more than 6 times(no, I did not miss, goddammit), while we were all mostly stationary, and [i]I[/i] died. No enemies died. The jeep was in mint condition. This is worse than Battlefield Heroes, where it takes 4 shots from a tank to kill infantry! But what about the plane? The nice little plane that's whored in every single Battlefield game? There are no lines for it. No teamkilling. No nothing, you can expect a game without aircraft, because they also suck huge balls! Their "bombs" are far less lethal than hand grenades. They might as well be rocks, because you won't damage a thing unless you smack the bombs into it. I'll stop it here, I've ran out of time. But, it isn't too bad for a half gig arcade game. Graphics and physics are comparable if not the same to BF:BC. So yeah. The technology wasn't too bad. But the gameplay SUCKS HARD!

Battlefield 1943 is easily the best XBLA game.

Boo hoo.

I have never had a problem blowing up a jeep with a tank...... and you are supposed to use the tanks MG to take out infantry.... not the cannon. Its an arcade game anyways.... not a $60 release.

OH GOD MY EYES

lol. Have you even played battlefield 1942? if you have you should know why the maps looks almost the same4 And it is probably you that sucks not the game. I have never experienced lag in bf1943 so it might be your connection thats bad. And remeber it is just an arcade game [Edited on 12.31.2009 9:11 PM PST]

It's an Arcade game for a reason bro.
-
it was fun but theres not enough to keep it going

That's the thing about battlefield, they sacrifice realistic-ness for balance. Rifle grenades are supposed to be anti-infantry, so they ahve a large radius, and only enough damage to kill a person. tanks are supposed to be anti-vehicle, so they do alot of damage but low radius, so you ahve to use the turret o kill infantry.

.....It's an Xbox Live arcade game. What were you expecting? I think a Frostbite-Powered Well balanced multiplayer experience was well worth my money today. Maybe you just aren't good at it?

China called, they said,"Koowl stowy, bwo!"
