In the last few years battlefield franchise has been giving us memorable games however the latest addition in the battlefield franchise is a great blast and gives back the good old online fun. With the new Frostbite engine battlefield 1943 gives impressive graphics and good competitive multiplayer based combat. Don’t be fooled by the only multiplayer word as it packs plenty of fun and addictive difficult challenges. The game however may have some issues but the game’s price of $14.99 gives you much more than you give. The game is set in the world war time on Pacific Islands between the Imperial Japan and the US Marines. Up to 24 players can play once on the 3 classic maps which are Wake Island (My Favorite), Guadalcanal and Iwo-Jima. There is one more map Coral Sea but in the map you can only do dogfights (Plane Battles). The maps are equal in size and give good game play. The game only features the Conquest mode which is kind of a Capture the Flag mixed with Domination but with 5 flags which once captured become respawn points for the specific team.
First of all lets start with the classes. There are 3 balanced classes which are suited for almost every type of player. Lets start off with the Infantry which is armed with a Type 100 submachine gun (IJN) or Thompson submachine gun (USMC), and equipped with a WWII RPG, handheld grenades, and a wrench used both for melee and for repairing vehicles. Now the Rifleman is armed with a Type 5 (IJN) or an M1 Garand (USMC), and equipped with rifle grenades, handheld grenades, and a bayonet. Finally the scout has a sniper rifle, a semi-automatic pistol, a Katana sword (IJN) or knife (USMC), and also remote explosives. So the classes are balanced equally and no class is useless for e.g. I thought the scout class was useless and unneeded until I used remote classes, the remote classes help so much defending bases and snipe without being stabbed at the back. Also there are no differences between the weapons and vehicles for the IJN and USMC which balances the sides.
Now no battlefield game is never complete without the vehicles so lets talk about vehicles. I was extremely happy with the amount of vehicles in the game and they make you feel you are a part of the battlefield. Now there are Airplanes and Bombers called in by Air Raid which could really change the scenario of the battlefield and of course there are anti-aircraft guns to blow up the planes. There are Tanks which are really powerful and burly but are slow to move and then there are Jeeps which are fast and has a manned machine gun. There is also addition of boats but they more help you in transportation rather than combat. Overall the vehicles play a big part in the game and give a feeling of coordination when moving together.
For now we have discussed enough about the things in the game and lets start the game’s pros. First of all the game’s environment gives you a feel of the battlefield and make you realize that the war is no child’s play for e.g. before the battle begins everything is well constructed and placed but after the round ends most the base area will be destroyed along with fire. The game’s new engine helps you blow up or destroy anything which is not only fun but very tactical for e.g. you blow up a bridge and this prevents the entry of vehicles from the enemy team and another example maybe that a sniper in wooden tower is trying to snipe you and what you do is simply blow up the tower with result no more snipers from there. The real good thing is that the online game play is smooth and there is no lag whatsoever. But there are drawbacks in the game.
Now this game has some issues such as bad or amiss squad system which means if my friends and I play together there is a chance we won’t be in the same team which is a big letdown for clan mates. No option to mute other players which causes discomfort and problems for the clan to concentrate. Sometimes you can’t connect to the servers and may have to restart the game which really is frustrating. There is also a little bit presence of bugs and glitches. But these issues can be resolved with a release of a patch or update and that is if DICE do it.
Overall the game is Terrific and for FPS and WWII War Fanatics this game is strongly recommended. This game is one of the fastest selling games on PSN and it has been given favorable feedback. Now this game should not be compared to COD4, COD5 or any other major Online multiplayer game but if you want to blow up things and get running or camping for the flag the game is a must play for you.
