Battlefield 1943

Battlefield 1943 is a good game for people who don’t like blood and gore and want to play a first person shooter game. Battlefield 1943  is based on WW II and only has three maps for ground air and water combat and one map for only air combat. Battlefield 1943 came out on July 8 2009 for Xbox and July 9 2009 for PSN (play station network). It was made by DICE and was published by EA (electronic arts). Battlefield 1943 was eighth in the battlefield series. Unlike other battlefields it is only multiplayer and each match holds 24 players.

There are only 7 different vehicles the Japanese zero fighter plane American corsair fighter plane one type of landing craft and two types of tanks and two jeeps. The fighter planes have four machine guns can drop bombs and hold one pilot . The landing craft can have 6 people on board 2 men maning the machine one driver and three passengers. The tanks can hold two people one driver more maning the main cannon and the coaxial machine gun and one on top manning another macine gun. The jeeps can hold 3 people one driver one passenger and one one the back manning the machine gun.

Battlefield 1943 uses the frost bite engine so that the only buildings the can not be destroyed are the bunkers. Ok now that I’ve talked about that lets get into the gameplay.

There are three classes rifleman infantry and scout. The rifle man has an m1 grant rifle three rifle grenades a bayonete and two grenades. The infantry has an LMG (light machine gun)  a wrench that can fix a tank a jeep a landing craft a plane and a HMG (heavy machine gun), and has a bazooka and two grenades. The scout wears leaf  camo and has a sniper rifle a sword a pistol and dynamite. In battlefield 1943 you can not customize the classes unlike in other battlefields.

Like in most multiplayer first person shooter games when you die you can respawn and chose another class. Battlefield 1943 is basicly a capture the flag game with guns. On every map there is five flags the the two teams IJN (imperial Japanese navy) and USMC (United states marine corps) battle to control. The cool thing abou battlefield 1943 is that you have unlimited Ammo.

In battlefield 1943 you go up in ranks I don’t know all of them but right now I’m at master sergeant gold. You can also get stamps you doing certain things like using you parachute twice or killing three bombers.

Oh I forgot to tell you each map has an air field and a bombing raid bunker. When the radio disk is spining on top of the bombing raid bunker you can go up to it and go in. When your in it you control three bombers that you can use to drop one round of bombs. The problem is they don’t have much maneuverability  and cannot defend themselves from attacking fighters, but there bombs are devastating. Also you are invincible while you are in the bunker but enemies can hide outside it and wait for you to come and and they will ambush you so be careful.

I will post a short PS3 game play of battlefield 1943 hope you enjoy!
