(Bazooka rounds just need to be “reloaded” during which time you cannot use your rockets.

Oh, and theres no ammo in Battlefield 1943, its unliminted! So, take that anyway you wish, but I consider it a con. They are the sniper rifle, the SMG (Thompson for US, Type 100 for Japanese), the rifle (Garand for US), and the pistol (which only snipers carry). There are four weapons, three of which have different japanese/american models however these weapons act the same. However in Battlefield 1943, you simply appear behind the ship magically, and I have heard several people complain saying that it takes them out of their element in a way 1942 never used to disturb.Īlso there are less classes, and no customising for your personal arsonel in Battlefield 1943.

When in a ship or plane as a passenger in 1942, you had to wait until the driver lowered the door in order to run off into the fight. Certain things are missing… aside from the numerous amounts of maps. You may be disappointed in some areas of the gamepla in Battlefield 1943. Medics are gone because in the modern day of shooters no one ever has a health bar! Merely a red glowy imageset that appears on the screen whenever being shot, however taking cover for a few moments removes the need for a medic. Engineers are gone because infantry now carry wrenches to heal tanks/planes/etc. The five classes have been condensed so that all the jobs can still be accomplished. The remaining three are: scout, infantry, and rifleman. However, there are now only three classes as opposed to 1942’s five. So it stands to reason the more land you grab the faster your opponents lose soldiers.Īnother big part of Battlefield 1943 are the class system. There are 5 flags on all maps in Battlefield 1943, and if one team holds the majority the losing team begins to lose reinforcements automatically. EA/Dice calls them tickets, but ultimately its the amount of troops that can reinforce the battlefield. Both teams then race to capture flags/spawn points while killing the other team and decreasing their infantry reserves. This consists of players starting at a base or aircraft carrier.

The newest part of the franchise, Battlefield 1943, contains one mode called conquest. There are airplanes, bombers, jeeps, tanks, boats, and aircraft carriers (can’t control that last one though) in Battlefield 1943. In plain English, this means land, air, and sea fighting takes place. The name is quite explanitory, it is a first person shooter which incorprates as much as the battlefield of war as it can. If you are unaware of the battlefield franchise let me sum it up for you.
