It is very rare that DLC games come along that are as good as BF 1943. Arguably the best downloadable game of this generation, BF 1943 stormed on the scene and everyone had to get their hands on it. The developers knew this was the case and left the Air Superiority mode hidden until 43 million kills were reached on your respective console. This created a ton of buzz and people flocked to help unlock it. The Coral Sea Challenge was a rousing success. Awesome. So, now what?
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.
Haven't even bothered with Air superiority mode. Sounds boring to only be able to use planes.
The game needs more levels and a team deathmatch mode. Give me 3 more and I'll play it forever.
So now you play the game !
Definitely agree. I usually play BF: 1943 for about an hour or so, then put it away for a week or so. It's great for that time span, and it even felt great to kill someone for a common goal (another map). It could use a few updates.....
Don't necessarily think it needs a major update. But an update of some sort would definitely go a long way. A map at night would be pretty cool, especially seeing all the explosions and air fights occurring.
Seeing as BF1943 just feels like a slim version of BF1942 (But with new game engine, destructible scenery etc) it wouldn't kill them to unleash some of the campaigns from this game. Battleaxe and Battle of the Bulge would be ideal.
I have a horrible feeling some DLC will be just over the horizon...
