I picked up the multiplayer-only Battlefield 1943 this weekend, moderately enthused with my purchase. I’ve played many of the BF games in the past, but I wasn’t much of a fan of Bad Company (the engine from which 1943 is built on), and in my experience big maps leads to boredom. Despite this, I picked it up based on recommendation from the folks at Joystiq, and I am having a blast so far. The game has just the right mix of weapons and classes and vehicles and whatnot…I just hope they don’t add some feature that totally throws off the great balance 1943 has right now.
For 1200 Microsoft points, or about $15, You can’t really go wrong. Three maps and three classes may not seem like much, but I have been playing it nightly and having a ton of fun. If you are starved for some low-investment online mayhem, pick up 1943! Heres hoping it can at least tide us over until Modern Warfare 2.
