Has anyone here played Battlefield 1943? It is a download only, multiplayer only title on the PS3 and 360. Best of all it only costs $15.
I got it a few days ago and it is one of the best games that I played on my PS3 in a long time.

Yeah i bought it of PSN the other day, buckets of fun indeed. Haven't played it for a few days though. But Killzone 2 is still my number one game for that online fps fix.

Ah, you've noticed. I read a review which sums up 1943 as not better than 1942 (maps seem virtually the same - only less!), but still a must have at that price... Since BF 1942 has a lot of (still active) mods I don't know if it's really worth the money.;)

If I had a good enough computer I would hunt down a copy of 1942, but 1943 is a fun substitute.

Meh. I'll wait til the PC version comes out. Still, battlefield 2142 has lasted me a long time, and its not slowing down.

Hunt down? It's widely available. (And way better: as said, there are plenty of active mods for it, plus 2 official expansions.) But I'm glad you enjoy BF 1943.

Well yeah, most retailers don't sell it anymore. At least my local ones don't.

Anyway check out this Penny Arcade Comic Strip about 1943.
