You're full of fucking fail.
Yeah, I admit it's kind of stupid.
But 1942 was the best Battlefield game, so I don't care.
I'll gladly dole out more Space Bucks to buy more maps, or even classes if need be.

BFBC had heli's, but no planes.
I've really been looking forward to this because I never had the chance to see the goodness of the PC titles firsthand. Plus this'll be the best 1200ms pts I've ever spent considering how much time I put into BFBC. Surely they will add content if it does well which it will (and that'll probably be free).

Sure bf1942 was a masterpiece...I still play it.
1943 is just a bullshit money maker with no depth. I've been waiting for the game since it was first announced....only to have my hopes crushed when I saw how basic it was.

Sorry to burst your bubble bro, but BF1943 was always advertised as going to be a 3 map affair. The only thing that surprised me was only having three classes, but i'm cool with that because some of the classes were stupid in BF1942 anyway.
Engineer always sucked and I think the game will work fine with no Medic class. It worked great in BF Vietnam. I always healed myself more than my teammates anyway.
I like how the medic works in BF2 though (and Enemy Territory, though thats a different game of course.)
It's cool bro, I always new there were only going to be a few maps....but only 3 classes? That's a sham. There needs to be support classes.
It's all good though, I'm having a great time playing Neo Tokyo.

Brah, just because I love the BF series lets talk about it some more - what classes would you have liked to have seen?
What do you mean by "support" - an engineer/medic...?
I'd have liked a medic if it worked like it did in BF2. Medic is my favorite class, hands down.
While I enjoyed BF 1942 because it was fairly balanced I thought it was unfortunate just how historically inaccurate it was (at least in terms of weapons.)
Thats just the sad part about WW2 and video games - balancing the infantry weapons with historical realism.
I mean the M1 Garand just drop kicks every other standard issue infantry rifle in the entire war.
Yea brah, engineer and medic. It's like a half game w/o either of those classes.
Just talking about past games and historical accuracy aside, I think Day of Defeat did a fair job of balancing the k98 and garand. So it could totally be done.....but since we are talking about the pacific campaign....shit I dunno maybe it would be better to just go with accuracy and have the japs equipped with unstable pistols(that randomly misfired
) and shitty Arisakas. Basically...I think the game might be fun for a week but only as a completely offensive arcade shooter and if I wanted that I'd play Unreal Tourney.

I bet they dropped the engineer because they gave the Infantry soldier the M1 Garand.
Remember how the Engineer had a bolt action in BF1942, although later I think they gave him a M1 Garand.
And all the medic class had Submachine guns, making them formidable fighters on their own.
I wonder if BF1943 will feature health stations like BF Vietnam.
You know, the M1 Garand and all the semi-automatic rifles, as well as the bolt actions rifles are pretty well balanced in Call of Duty: World at War (the two non-garand semi-autos could use a few tweaks with regards to recoil and power I think - but they're still pretty good.)
The bolt actions in that game are just about perfect. Some of the most fun i've ever had in multiplayer is fighting bolt action vs bolt action and bolt action vs semi-auto.
The problem with that game though is that every single automatic weapon in that game is 100% broken, particularly the PPSH.
Not to mention you can give the automatics fictional weapon upgrades like the "aperture sight" - lol, what a crock of shit.
Oh, and the fact that a single shot from a bolt action to the head wont kill a man if he has the juggernaut perk.
Oh, and I forgot this gem - bolt action rifles do more damage if you fire through the scope.

Nothing like people whining about a downloadable XBLA game not having enough maps or classes.
Would it have been nice to get a retail title out of this?
Sure.
$60 nice?
I think not.
That's what Bad Company 2 will be for. Bad Company's multi is dynamite BTW. Too bad some of those awards were broken or near fucking impossible to get in that game. Still a good game though.

Don't play it.
It's just so frustrating because it good be so good, but it sucks.
It's just guys running full auto spraying from the hip.
And then there are the guys who run around and shotgun you to death, which is equally lame.
All the maps are pretty close quarters too. Not a lot of open ground ala Battlefield.
You best be downloading this on Wednesday son.
