Battlefield 1943 - Ep. 176 - Why won't you let me kill you!?

Let's play Battlefield 1943! Played on Xbox Series X. Recorded in 2023.

I would love a remake from this game

[@LeotseilGaming]

That would have been sweet, but I doubt we will get an official remake. Maybe something similar to the BF1942 portal mode in the next BF game?

@@LeotseilGaming yeah i sadly know this. Maybe its a good a idea for a indy developer to look into this.

[@LeotseilGaming]

@@MegaMaxAle A small Indy team would be my best bet as well. Although we all loved BF1943, I'm not so sure it would have the same mass appeal as it once had. Modern shooters seem to be all about weapon customization and grinding for unlocks (which a lot of players seem to love), something I would not want to see in a remake. A small Indy team, however, wouldn't be dependent on the game selling millions to make a profit, which means they can afford to make a more niche game without having to add a lot of stuff that would ruin the simple pick-up-and play nature of BF1943.

@@LeotseilGaming maybe you are right. What also could be scenario, is that people like us who enjoyed bf1943 for its simplicity are only buying those games, because they have no option like a bf1943. I also know a lot of guys, that are not even playing the modern shooters because they dont like the grind. I think there are enough people that dont like modern shooters, for wich a game like that would be refreshing as hell. Also a game like this would be wayyyyyy cheaper to make, because it probably would not take as long to do. So they would not need to sell so much for it to be break even or profit much.

[@LeotseilGaming]

@@MegaMaxAle That's a good point. You wouldn't really notice how many players are not playing because they don't enjoy modern shooters, but who would buy and enjoy a more simple game like BF1943.

Fray5, OG player, great tanker !

[@LeotseilGaming]

Yeah, very skilled player with the impressive nr. 2 spot on the Xbox global leaderboard.

[@robertparker9274]

@@LeotseilGaming I think in the first few years of the game as I I topped the board for a day at least 😂 shame he never made it.

[@robertparker9274]

Great vids btw, always look forward to them !

[@LeotseilGaming]

​@@robertparker9274Thanks, I'm glad you're enjoying them! What spot did you end up at on the leaderboard in the end? I unfortunately never made it to the top 1000 list myself before the servers shut down as only played on Xbox for about a year (and I only played casually on PS3 when the game first came out). If I had been able to continue to play the game for an extra year, I think I probably would have been able to make it to one of the lower places on the list.

@@LeotseilGaming ha number 1for a day , me and ootzy swapped places, then my account was suspended 😂

Fray5 is VERY hard to kill. Synd1cate Wars is also a very good fighter

[@LeotseilGaming]

Yeah, Fray5 was good. Synd1cate Wars is one of those players I ended up playing a lot of matches with or against during my time with the game. Also a skilled player and a nice guy as well. I miss going into the game and seeing those familiar names on the scoreboard. That is another thing that made playing BF1943 special. The player base was large enough that you could almost always find good games, but small enough that there was rarely a match where I didn't recognize at least one name.
