There are also only three classes and four vehicles (plus a semi-controllable bombing raid), but again these are more like refinements than reductions. These control point flags also act as spawn points for the team that holds them, although both teams have an uncapturable base, so snatching victory from the jaws of defeat is always possible. Tickets represent reinforcements, and basically act as a giant shared health bar for each team. The sole mode in 1943 is the series’ signature Conquest, featuring five control points on each map that can be captured to deplete the other teams ‘tickets’. The crisp blue sky and blazing sun of Wake Island, the blood-red sunset of Iwo Jima, and the rocky ridges of Guadalcanal give each map an immediate visual identity. And Iwo Jima is dominated by the imposing Mount Suribachi at one end and a wide forested plain containing an airfield at the other. Guadalcanal is a rocky oval setting with many hills and valleys. Wake Island is a horseshoe shaped atoll, with the narrow strip of land encouraging assaults from the sea. This logic proves to be sound, as the locations in Battlefield 1943 are excellent arenas for warfare. So why not concentrate on making three maps that are as enjoyable as possible? Although three sounds like a paltry number, DICE’s logic is that when presented with a large number of maps, a playerbase quickly finds a couple of favourites and ends up ignoring the rest anyway. Set in the Pacific Theatre of World War II, Battlefield 1943 has only three proper maps (plus a bonus dogfight-only map), all based on real-life battles between the United States Marine Corps and the Imperial Japanese Navy. In order to scale the game down to a reasonable number of megabytes, DICE have taken 1942, put it in a blender, extracted the essence, and created a concentrated FPS solution with which they have formed a streamlined Battlefield experience.

Although developers DICE have experimented with singleplayer plots in the past (Modern Combat and Bad Company) the trademark of the series has always been its superb multiplayer experience.īattlefield 1942 is probably still the most fondly remembered game in the series, and surprisingly it’s console gamers that get to experience the sequel first, and perhaps even more eyebrow-raising is the fact that Battlefield 1943 is a download-only title.
