Ok guys not sure how but i found out about this new f fps game by dice..called BF1943 is sounds aewsom i have some Q&As....

It uses the Frostbite Engine Fully destructable enviro...ITS LIKE THE BF bad company we never had..
ON PC AND XBOX LIVE!


What It Is
Battlefield 1943: Pacific is a download only, multiplayer game for the Xbox 360, Playstation 3 and PC. The game, while new, is essentially a high-def remake of Battlefield 1942, and focuses more on pickup and play style gameplay. This is the first public demo available for fans to play.

What We Saw
One multiplayer map on the New York Comic-Con show floor at the EA booth. Gordon Van ****, associate producer at Dice, was on hand to first show me through some of the new features for the game before I messed around with it.

How Far Along Is It?
The game is scheduled for release this summer with an expected price point between $15 to $20. The download size of the game will be around 350MB

What Needs Improvement
Unlike previous Battlefield games, Pacific only has three unit classes: Infantry, Riflemen, and Scout. Gone are the Medics and Heavy weapons classes. Van **** explained they wanted every class to be able to fight in every situation. Every class has weapons to fight against the biggest tanks and armor. I would like to have seen more classes with varied abilities and risks.

Also, players have auto-health and unlimited ammo. I find auto-health to be too simple and easy and unlimited ammo means players will be firing without thinking. That will probably mean no more knife fights.

What Should Stay The Same
The destructible environments were a breath of fresh air for me. As someone who played a ton of the original 1942, nothing was more infuriating that driving into a tree and getting stuck. Now, I can run them all over and blow chunks of buildings away. Van **** said the game has about the same amount of destruction depth as Bad Company.

I also liked the upgraded graphics. While the original 1942 was fine graphically, 1943 Pacific adds more detail, physics, shadowing, and overall effects. It's very clean looking and stays true to the original maps.

Final Thoughts
I really had no idea what to expect from this game. I was presently surprised to see my favorite online game ever get a much-needed upgrade. The one concern I have is that this won't seem like a completely new, full Battlefield game. There won't be as many maps in the final game and the focus on casual play has me worried. Van **** wouldn't specify, but he said if this Battlefield gets a good reaction from fans, Dice might consider adding more and more content down the road. ~ credits go to some guy not sure sorry

will give more answers and info later

Oh, god, universal ammo is next!

EA must be pushing DICE to make these cutesy games (complete with making Bad Company's ads look like toons).

Loved BF2142, had all those classes to try out, and just have fun doing so. Never had more fun in a shooter than that game, because I just didn't have to play fighter (if I wanted that I'll play CS:S) -- and even if you didn't want to shoot all the time, you had a job that other fighters appreciated (giving them ammo or healing/revving them).

Now the next installment will be just a shooter? Count me out, as there's plenty of other games just for that (and without the EULA and ad mess).

Im all for the destructible enviroment and I love Bad Company and how no one is safe even if they hide behind a wall. However I feel they are going to alienate a lot of PC gamers with this game as the pc has so much more to give compared to the Xbox and PS3.
1943 shouldn't be a battlefield game imho.

only 3 classes which all sound exactly alike to me: infantryman, rifleman, and scout whiskey tango foxtrot? No medics? No spec-ops? No engineers? No support?

Unlimited ammo?!?!?!?!?

no thanks
