DICE has managed to take all the fun and excitement of a full sized Battlefield game and comfortably put it into a cheaply priced downloadable game without any real sacrifices. This game breaks all boundaries of what we expect when we think of downloadable games.
Revolving around the famous wars in the pacific, 1943 allows for the US Marines to take on Japanese forces on land, air, and sea. With 12 players on each side and large maps with multiple weapons, buildings, lookout points, planes, trucks, jeeps, and even tanks on them the battles are exactly what you would expect from a Battlefield game. Each map is well thought out and provides plenty of fun no matter what your preference is. The location of the flag points are strategically placed and lend well to creating perfect attack and defend scenarios..."

This reminds me... I have ME on my PS3 hdd. Never really played it, but it was free.
On PC I don't think it's much of a problem but I'm sad to see BF43 being shut down. I haven't played it in a while since it's stuck on PS3, but i preferred it way more over BF3. It was the lack of invisible barriers which made it better for me.
Does anyone play the last BF anymore? I searched crossplay servers and it was 20 people the most on all the servers? Can never find a game

Should you look back far enough and manage to take your mind away from Battlefield: Bad Company 2, what you may well remember is a small, online-only multiplayer adventure that lit up the Xbox Live Arcade – Battlefield 1943."
Great little game but yet again, no offline bots so once the servers went, so did all its players. What a waste.
Game developers should - and can - trust the player to consume their entertainment while maintaining perspective.
