Well, i just got BF1943 for my PS3 last night, put 2 hours and 30 minutes into it. Great game, looks awesome, amazing that it's only like, 550MB download. Fun to play, more like an arcade focused FPS. Maps are Iwo Jima (Ok map) Guadacanal (Favorite imho), and Wake Island (Good). 4th map will be unlocked when the community reaches 43 million kills, 4th map is Coral Sea, air only map, which will become my new favorite :D
Pros:
Great graphics
Explosions are nice
Destructable environments
cheap
Cons:
Only 3 classes
Sniper is fuckin worthless, only Suicide bombing noobs use it.
Planes have pretty crappy handling... can't pull up worth a damn, so can't do any dive bombing (My favorite thing to do in 1942.... fly waaaay up into the clouds, go over enemy positions, then dive and head to the earth at like, 700 mph, find a target, and blow that sucker into the next century, while pulling out at like, 20-30 feet above the ground).
Planes (Again) bombs are friggen weak... you drop 2 bombs (Much like the SBD or Stuka in 1942), they make hug explosions, yet do shit for damage... i seen Infantry survive bombs that land 5-10 feet from them, and i've nailed tanks dead on with both boms, only to watch those tanks keep chugging away.. i've come close to chucking my control at my LCD in rage over shit like that.
Some more cons that are more community based... Idiots who cant fly always waiting for planes to spawn... bombing runs are called in by a special building... so you always get a few noobs who camp that waiting for the thing to recharge... Sniper rifle is fuckin weak as sin, and when ur zoomed in, your scope moves slow as an old fart waking up in the morning...
Rifle Grenades will kill you if they land within 7 feet of you, yet bombs or bazookas or even TANK rounds do shit to inf... i've had Infantry survive tank rounds that landed RIGHT next to them... had this been another BF game, those suckers would have been flying through the air.
Sniping is worthless... if a person so much as even looks in your general direction, no matter HOW FAR YOU ARE... a god damned Red arrow will pop up above you, giving your location to EVERY enemy(AND, this just becomes PANTS-ON-HEAD RETARDED, when a god damn plane just happens to fly above you, it will instantly give away your location... im in a god damned forest and this happens?!)... Advise for guadacanal, when u spawn, look around a little bit into the distance, you'll end up picking out a few snipers that wait with that red arrow crap.
Vehicles are worthless imho... Tanks and jeeps can easily be taken out by a Infantry player... Riflemen and Infantry are the best classes to be, Infantry being better imho because you can handle enemy troops AND vehicles, due to having an SMG and Bazooka with unlimited ammo.
Well, with all that aside, this game is still fun, i give it an 8/10. Well worth the 15 it costs.. had they charged anymore however, i'd have told u to pass.
