The matches aren't quite as big as what the series is working with now: maximum size is 24 players, down considerably since Battlefield: 1942.

It's also now part of the EA Access Vault, so EA Access subscribers get it for free.īattlefield 1943 is, like the upcoming Battlefield 5, a vehicle and infantry-based war simulator set in World War 2. As with all backwards compatibility titles, you can play the thing for free if you've got a disc lying around, or you can pay $9.99 in the Xbox marketplace. EA originally released the game in 2009 on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, coming just on the tail end of when World War 2 dominated the shooter market: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare had changed the game just two years before. Battlefield 1943 just became available on Xbox One through Microsoft's backwards compatibility program, the company announced today.
