Developer Follow-Up: Battlefield 1943

It's been more than a month since Battlefield 1943 dropped on Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network (the PC version isn't out yet, but it's coming). To get a sense of Electronic Arts' and DICE's reactions to Battlefield 1943 so far, Andrew Pfister got in touch with the game's producer, Gordon Van Dyke, to talk about the game.

G4: How do you plan on keeping your audience with gigantic multiplayer games like Modern Warfare 2 and Halo 3: ODST on the way?

Dyke: Battlefield 1943 was always thought of as a complimentary FPS in someone's games catalog even though it could easily become someone's primary game of choice. We also feel it's unique enough in the experience and expect people to jump in for a few rounds to mix up their experience while playing some of the bigger FPSes coming this year.

For much more on Battlefield 1943 and its potential impact on the future of the Battlefield franchise, make sure to read the entire interview with Van Dyke.

    I don't want just 3 more maps. I hate how everyone has settled on this 3 new maps in a map pack deal. Halo just did that randomly because they weren't sure what people would pay for, it's a rip off though. Everyone buys 3 new maps, because we are desperate to keep our favorite games alive. There should be AT LEAST 8-12 maps total for this game. So any map pack needs between 5-9 maps in it, or 4 maps and another Air Superiority map.

    I think 800 MS Points should be the value of 5 maps for any multiplayer game. I realize that the response to this is that they try to make those 3 maps better quality, but lets be honest, everyone's split on new maps regardless. More maps = more variety. And we can always play the original quality maps again, and appreciate them more if there's bad maps in the mix.

    I can't believe they are not going to do DLC for this game. I feel scorned.

    More Maps, Fix Squad system, and Darn it, is it to much to ask for a cargo net on the back of the ships to climb back up....

    If only Van Dyke's first name was Dick...just throwin that out there

    On-Topic: If they want to keep their audience then they need to fix the squad system, add at least 3 more maps, and another vehicle.
