Battlefield 1943 download pc

Let's Cut To the chase here, people. This is the new Battlefield game and it's migrated back from a world of big stompy mech things to the more familiar environs of World War II. Despite my much-publicised exasperation with the continued overuse of this scenario, it's welcome in this case. I've never got on with mechs and futuristic settings for pseudo-realistic shooters - there's just something more satisfying about rending a Nazi's flesh from his bones than taking down a robot.

So the news of Battlefields return to Wake Island and other familiar locales is welcome. But will it live up to the expectations of the people who even now are plugging away on the original game? A difficult question, answerable only by DICE themselves. Fortunately, we just happened to have a representative from DICE right next to us when we had a go on the game.

It's the whole of the game that makes it hardcore or casual. To be honest I think using those terms is a really bad way of defining what a game is. As Liu says, the game has been streamlined and tweaked to be less Intimidating to new players.

However, it'll also feature what some could describe as console concessions, like Unlimited' ammunition and Call of Duty -style regenerating health. Some won't see this as a problem, but there are potential issues unmovable snipers, impregnable defences that might arise from these implementations. I "We're going to support 24 players, there are going to be three maps, one of them being Wake Island.

I wouldn't call it a remake of , but it's strongly inspired by it If you played Wake Island before, you'll recognise it in Remember, you'll need a copy of Battlefield 2 to be able to run it. If you have any trouble getting it to work, check the comments section of the mod page.

It looks like a fair few people have been stumped, but the mod's creator timotimotimo or someone who's already got it working is responding to most queries.
