Battlefield 1943 XBox Live Arcade/PSN

It's on sale for 600 MSP, but I don't know that its reason enough to buy it for me. Of my XBL friends, I think only JSM has it, and I haven't seen him playing it in months.

Thoughts? I've always been curious about this game.

I bought it after I got XBL about three months ago (Cutlers1 by the way). At first it was fun but it lacks the game play to keep wanting to come back for more. I played it for the first two weeks then basically forgot about it. After about two months of leaving it I played it again a few days ago and had some good matches then once again got bored with it. Its worth the buy if you have no games that you play frequently. I think if they kept on updating it with new maps and weapons, it would be much better and keep the community playing.

I just didn't like it, too easy to die but not kill and the beach setting got boring way too fast.

I was thinking of pre-ordering this for the PC, but with all the delays and bad feedback I may pass. I was hoping it would be more like an updated 1942, but it seems they have watered it down.

I actually think I might get this, just because I have some MS points to spare right now, and it seems fun. It looks like the kind of game that could last at least a week, which can be a long time for me. I'm kind of lacking fun multiplayer games, anyways.

I really enjoyed this game for about a week and still occasionally play it. The air raid system and the aircraft carriers provide a totally unique gameplay from other WWII shooters. If you have a little money on the side, you should buy it.

I have it too. Its a great game, but it with the little it has to offer it got boring quick. Although for 600 Microsoft points, its not a bad deal.
