A low price Battlefield that feels like a full price game

This is a great example of what other publishers should do: Release a low price game that offers a great multiplayer experience like a full game should feel like, and Battlefield 1943 is a great example of this.
When I first buy it and I couldn't get online because there were too many people on the server, I thought that I shouldn't had bought the game (1200ms points or 15 dlls) because I had Battlefield Bad Company and I can play it wherever I want... but I was wrong when I started playing the game. There are three classes: Riflemen, Infantry and Scout and you maybe thinking, where's the medic? well, the health in this game is regenerative, so you don't need the medic, at all.

This game has only Conquest mode that consist on two teams trying to conquer the territories, and there's a status bar for the two teams that starts decreasing when the opposing teams has more territories.
One of the best things in the game is that everyone starts on a boat drop-ship and there are 2 planes and 4 boats, so if you get a plane, you start shooting other planes or you shoot people trying to reach the island. Or if you get a boat, you can reach the island and start conquering territories. There are only 3 maps: Iwo Jima, Guadalcanal and Wake Island but now there's the Coral Sea map but in this moment is only available on the Xbox 360 version. You maybe thinking that you are gonna get bored with only 3 or 4 maps, but the replay value on this game is outstanding, I have been playing it for around 4 hours non-stop and I can tell you that you are gonna do the same.

In conclusion, this game is a must-buy for every Battlefield or FPS fan out there. It has fast-paced action and has a big replayability, so you aren't gonna get bored easily.
