Battlefield 1943 DLC Risky For DICE

September 15, 2009 in Blog comments 7

Teabags at Spawn Kill writes about how DICE are avoiding DLC for their record-breaking hit, Battlefield 1943. The article goes over the chances of their being DLC for the game, and what's holding the boys at DICE back from announcing/launching it.

Those who remember the launch, aside from the record-breaking sales and server crashes, will know that DICE were already offering free DLC straight away. A competition between the PSN and XBL communities which involved reaching a staggering amount of kill collectively, resulting in the unlocking of “Air Superiority,” a game mode which focused on dogfights only, which was personally a letdown for me.
I have at least poured a good twenty or so hours into the game since release, but even though I am not getting bored of treading the same turf of Wake Island, I am surprised that DICE have yet to launch a string of new maps or modes for one of their greatest hits.

    I haven't had 1943 crash on me once. I've played the shit out of it too! It's great for when I want a quick shoot 'em up match without any of the hassle. It's a bit of a shame they won't be adding any DLC....but in all honesty I'm not overly heart broken.

    I too found the Air Superiority addition lame....so I think I'd rather have them wrap-up BBC2 then worry about more DLC. LMAO

      it lags like hell for me, but that may be because I have the PS3 version.


      And yea, AS is lame. I never do that playlist.


      I just wish I can go somewhere else besides freakin' Iwo Jima

        He has the PS3 version, too. More likely your connection, or HD.

        That sucks man, not sure what could be going on then. Like Sean said, I also play the PS3 version. I was having some problems with EA games a few months ago (Mirror's Edge and Burnout) and I had to open some ports on my router in order to get a better connection to the EA servers....perhaps you're experiencing a similar problem?

    This has got to be one of the very, very few games that I actually want DLC of, and they're too busy to make it? Bah, I say!

    Oh well. Maybe Battlefield 3 and Bad Company 2 will have the same winning formula of 1943. I don't really have my hopes up though, seeing as I couldn't get into the first Bad Company.

      Battlefield 3 is going to be similar to No.2

      All battlefields have followed the same formula(bar BC and heros) and have been successes.
