Oh so it's going to be a small release like BF: Heroes and not a retail game. That sounds pretty interesting and hopefully will get a steam release.

no

BF Heroes is a free browser based game that is more simple to pick up and play.

BF 1943 is a downloadable game based on BF1942. You pay for it.

The destructible environments were a breath of fresh air for me.

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

Unlike previous Battlefield games, Pacific only has three unit classes: Infantry, Riflemen, and Scout. Gone are the Medics and Heavy weapons classes.

Also, players have auto-health and unlimited ammo.

When i played BF Modern Combat and BFBC nobody played medic. So not a shock

i don't like unlimited ammo, but i'm fine with auto healing

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #24 on:** February 06, 2009, 02:31:17 PM »

Yes!

I remember when Mike Works and I used to suicide jeep bomb enemies on the Pacific maps. And do rally races across the entire island while people were fighting - they'd get so pissed.

Warhawk is the only big one to come to mind on consoles. On PC there is Crysis, Quake Wars, and some others.

well, I guess the idea of capturing bases and all that. but I don't know if 1942 started that.

Not the true sequel to BF1942 that I was hoping for but I'm ok with this.

wtf is with people seemingly forgetting BF2 exists? I see people shitting on it on Gaf and now here.

Fragamemnon · « **Reply #30 on:** February 06, 2009, 07:02:01 PM »

if people want a modern setting class based shooter they can play BF2, one of its popular realism mods, or go play ArmA

$15-$20 for some dumb but fun WW2 online FPS gaming in the same vein as BF1942 (also dumb but fun). Sounds pretty good.

demi · « **Reply #31 on:** February 06, 2009, 07:06:00 PM »

BF2 isnt on 360, nobody cares. Will buy this. Can't wait to play some Battlefield again. Wow... just, wow. Hype is so high right now.

Modern Combat had health boxes (or whatever they're called) at most flag points, though. A fair amount of people played medics too, if only because of less reloading and the ability to heal yourself. This was the 360 version, though, I'm not sure how that differs compared to the last-gen versions.

But yeah, Bad Company had almost no one playing medic though. And with no health boxes, if you were at 15% health you could easily stay at that point of black-and-whiteness for minutes. Dice really screwed the pooch with BC. Hopefully they fix everything in BC2, but I doubt it.

It'd be a shame if BC was responsible for, say, the auto-health and no medic class decisions, but the game seems to be slimmed down in order to be noob-friendly or something.

fistfulofmetal · « **Reply #33 on:** February 06, 2009, 10:15:32 PM »

that doesn't make sense. they didn't switch anything up. they took what made 1942 good and improved on every aspect.

Better designed maps, better classes, structured gameplay that makes working as a team easy and seamless. the commander, all that stuff.

but it still basically played the same as 1942. Dudes on different teams trying to take command of control points on a map.

I wish my copy came with the "fistfulofmetal" mod so I could agree with you.

do you don't agree with my points? How exactly are they flawed?

Does that mean you would like BF to return to '64 people running around randomly on a giant map' gameplay?

good footage of it. It's more or less a Bad Company mod, not so much Battlefield 1942 action.

Eel O'Brian · « **Reply #37 on:** February 07, 2009, 06:26:22 AM »

i've already read in several places that dice have said if this does well they'll add more and more stuff to it (i'm taking that to mean the european maps)

i like the air raid bunker idea, that's pretty cool

drift on the jeeps, ha, you know they put that in because of all the racing people used to do

cool breeze · « **Reply #38 on:** February 07, 2009, 10:36:16 AM »

yeah, I like the bomber idea, but if people are as good as flying in this as they were in 1942, I'd imagine they'd get shot down quickly.

Console players used the support classes in BF: BC so I don't get why they removed them. There's no need to have teamwork anymore so it might not feel like a BF game. I will have to wait and see.

From an email I got today:

Q: Why are we releasing the PC version of Battlefield 1943 in September?

A: The PC is built around the core game and that development process takes a bit longer. We want to ensure a true PC experience and that includes additional features support and gameplay that are not utilized for the console. – Gordon Van Dyke, BF1943 Producer
