GameZone writes: "If there is a shortcoming to be found in Battlefield 1943, it's the lack of content. The game will only offer 3 maps, 3 classes, and no unlockable weapons or abilities. Additionally, its $15 (1200 Microsoft Points) cost puts it in the higher price bracket of most downloadable titles on PSN and XBLA. However, Battlefield fans should be able to create tons of hours of fun within the game's environment, and should have a great time with it regardless of how many maps it offers. Look for it to release this June".
EA: "As we close in on 15 years since the release of Battlefield 1943, and Bad Company™ 1 & 2, we are announcing that their journey is coming to an end."
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.
i'm sure if the game is popular they will release more maps. the higher price bracket is still awesome value, given what you are getting. this is the future of games, and quite smart. the 3 classes are to capture a less than hardcore market and introduce them to the best online multiplayer series. COD just feels old against bad company's destructible environments.
