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.
Further proving, if you release a good game at a good price, people will buy it.
It beat socom confrontation, final fantasy & burnout paradise ?
I got everything warhawk and socom confrontation. I beat the crap out of bad company too and online was pretty easy for me to be succesful. Im totaly over bad company but the price of 1943 is very tempting. Gotta play more warhawk since i bought all of its expansions and i have like zero trophies for it.
I've always held the opinion that if you really want to make your money back on video games you sell them at 25 dollars instead of 60.
I would be WAY more willing to buy games if they were less then half the cost they are now.
9 million sales at 25 is def better then 2 million at 60
EA needs to fix the servers. Ive had a few disconnected problems ever since unlocking the 43 million kills. It doesnt happen all the time but its happened a few times ever since we unlocked the new plane map.
The game is fun still & i finally hit the 2,100+ kills & almost a Rank 40. The game is alot of fun for the price. Well worth the money.
