The End of Battlefield 1943 

The End of Battlefield 1943. If you're enjoying the video be sure to leave a like! This one will be missed.

Let’s be honest This game is better than battlefield 5

This is one of my most played Battlefields, might seem weird considering the limited gameplay, but the simplicity and vibrant visuals are exactly what made the game great, good maps and 2 simple modes and 3 classes. So sad to see this go.

Rip to a very underrated battlefield game :(

Servers went down around 5:40 CT 😔 The sad thing is, during the game right before shutdown, people were getting kicked out until it was just me and a couple guys left on the other team, then poof, everything was gone forever. I'm glad I was able to get one final kill (using the bombers) just seconds before shutdown. RIP Battlefield 1943. What a lifespan this game had.

This could've been avoided with full offline bot support. #OFFLINEBOTSFOREVER

Battlefield 1943 is a legendary game, and one of the very best online games ever made. Sincerely hope they re-release an updated 4K version of it. BF 1943 is way to good game to just throw away forever

I know they never would but a remasterd version of this would be so awesome

this game was ahead of its time

RIP to my childhood & most favorite game ever. Love you Battlefield 1943 😢

A real shame that a Battlefield game with actual visability is being closed down.

Honestly screw the battlefield developers they KNEW 1000s of people still played this

This game was one of the highlights of my childhood, sometimes we need to say goodbye to the great things we had and let them stay as memories

So classic and yet Fun times of the old war. I'm now attending my veteran appreciation party 😂

I can’t believe I missed the end of this game.

imo this is one of the best shooters ever made. the simplicity is what made it so incredibly special

There’s a petition online to bring it back. Come on guys, vote with your keyboard. I miss it sooo much 😞

For God Sake EA put this on PC and let it live as a Remaster.

Today is the last day the servers are up, played a couple of matches (1st game we dominated on Wake island, 2nd on Guadalcanal was literally down to the wire, still pulled it out somehow) This game was so simple but somehow ended up being very memorable. I think it's my most played multiplayer shooter ever. Going to miss it. 😔

I just finished the Tour of Duty 2, 100 Games Achievement. I actually recognize a lot of the names of players in this video from my matches in this last week. Unfortunately it doesn't look like we got to play together. I do plan on playing a bit more in the last week before the Servers go down. I'd played the game around the time it came out, but never completed all the Achievements. After doing 100 games, I think it was a fine game. Bad Company 2 is one of my most favorite FPS ever, it has the same game engine as 1943, Frostbite 1.5. I think 1943 definitely has some issues but despite though, and especially for the price it was released at, it really was a great game. December 8th will truly be a dark day in gaming history, and my life. Like I said, Bad Company 2 is one of my most favorite FPS ever made, one of the best ever made. I've contacted EA so many times since March in an attempt to get them to revert this decision, or give us PC server hosting tools. They've never given a satisfactory response. To not give us the ability to host our own servers after taking the masterserver down is ridiculous and disgusting. It's truly a loss for gaming and game preservation. I've meant to play a lot more ever since the announcement and I'm going to play as much as I can in this last month. What a heartbreaking loss. Thank you so much for this and your other videos over the years. EA doesn't give a shit about the love we have for this game apparently, they bastardized it in 2042 and didn't do it justice. But it will always live through videos like yours, our memories, and 3rd party projects to allow server hosting like "Project Rome", and the various GitHub projects that allow us to create our own Servers. o7

I remember playing the demo of this back in 2009 when my brother was at school because he pre-installed it while gone. And it was a one time play only, but I sunk so much time into it and thought it was literally the most realistic thing out there. We ended up buying it later that night, and pretty much spent my whole entire summer break playing 1943, Halo 3, and GTA 4. Crazy fun times on xbox live back then.

RIP BF1943 ❤😢

Everything about this game was so good. The destruction, the variety of vehicles, the fact that the whole map was usable, being able to get to the enemy spawn, simple yet fun classes, unique abilities for each class, way the objectives were laid out and how difficult they were or weren't to capture. Absolute masterpiece of a game that doesn't get the attention it deserves. It is definitely be a standard for FPS war games. Additionally, the physics were realistic but not at the same time. They were realistic where they needed to be, but the places that it fell short, were the exact same place that made it so fun.

This and bad company 2 will be missed. Pretty sad actually

I played that game online for years and I very likely would have continued to right up to the present day, had it not been for the fact that I got locked out of my account, and Sony (in case you didn't know) has a HORRIBLE support system and that happens all the time. Anyway, it was a nice shooter, and was easier to pick up and play because it didn't have too many extra things going on and players couldn't level up to the point of having huge advantages over newer players. It was a lot of fun and a lot more relaxing than the other shooters and I think it's a shame they are shutting it down, especially without giving us something else to take it's place.

man this game was an all time fav of mine been playing with my dad since the xbox360 have so many great memories with it even made it part of my gamertag. farwell Battlefield 1943

Why this game was so balanced and enjoyable was because of the LACK of upgrades etc. You pick your class and off you go. It was a true meritocracy you want your stripes through learned experiences.

I played this great game for many years. It's a shame you can't play it anymore.

Cheers for the video. Good trip down memory lane. I remember playing this so much with my brother and our friends around 2010/11. Sad to see it’s gone

We still have until Friday, who wants to play this Thursday before servers get shutdown?

Servers just got taken down at 6:40pm Eastern US time. What a tragic moment

Top 3 favorite game all time, gonna miss it 😞 everyone grind up until the curtains close. See y’all on the front.

Was my first ps3 game I ever played. What really got me into the series and others like it. Goes down as one of my favorites ever

I will always remember playing this on PS3 with my brother.

Although my time with it was short, I enjoyed every second, every minute every hour and day. It’s sad to see this happen. But hey it is unique, simple, and that is what made it fun. After 14 years of service I understand that it’s time for this game to retire, and for us to move on. Wish I knew it sooner. I do hope that eventually another game like it will come out and bring memories that it had brought to the people of all ages before. Rest In Peace to Battlefield 1943, you will be missed🎉🎉😢

I was about to re download this for the nostalgia... Such a shame... Playing this was one of the peakest times of Xbox live, I remember trying to get as many kills as I could to contribute to the community kills needed to unlock air superiority mode. It would feel too daunting to start it up and go into the tutorial with no where else to go. I think i'll keep it in my memory. I cancelled the download...

I dusted off my PS3 in January …I was too late 😭

This is the first game I've ever bought on my own. Will forever have a place in my heart 😭

This game needs a faithful remaster

feel like EA was embarrassed that This (a trimmed down, cleaned up version of their Original game circa 2002) was a better FPS than all their more modern battlefields. Will certainly miss katana-sprinting at the enemy as an American soldier 🗡️ 🏃 RIP or else bring back the servers 🤘

damn just had a nostalgia boost and wanted to play it. only to realise its been shut down a few weeks ago ):

The best bf ever made . Thats it.....

it was good times man, ill miss it rip1943

This was my first BF experience. Playing it w a group of 5/6other dudes on a mate's birthday (we were on 1st grade, maybe 14/15y.o) Sharing turns & a bucket of kfc wich was also a first. Best day of my 26y.o life still. Thanks for uploading & the memories :)

I miss playing it. GREAT game I played for 14 years.

I played Battlefield 1942 when it first came out. Let me tell you how amazing of an experience that was. I didn't have a console at this time sadly, but it's one I absolutely wanted to experience.

r.i.p bf1943

Of course you can still play it. Just setup it up on a LAN.

R.I.P.

This game will live forever in our hearts. Love this absolute classic.

Really sucks to see this game go, it was one of my all time favourites. What was the reason for the server shutdown?

My most played games of 2023 was this one. So now that they took my main BF away I deciced to give another chance to BF5 which just became my new main BF game.

Wow, after 10 years I finally found the game I used to be obsessed with as a kid. Now I can’t even relive the nostalgia. SAD!

I miss it already

Jesus. I played the absolute shit out of this game on my ps3 and ps4. Hours a day every day after school. Some of the most memorable experiences of my life in that game. So damn fun. I'm gonna miss it.

It will never beat BF1942. A timeless classic.

My childhood game

I loved this game. Flying then parachuting into a tank was epic. I hope they come up with a new gen version of this ❤

Noo!! This is my favorite battlefield game,. Hopefully people will continue to play it on PC

7 months ago 😮

I remember when my mom gave me the money to buy this game on my 11th birthday and man i never put the control down this game will forever hold a spot in my heart truly does suck how games just arnt what they used to be the simplicity of it all is what made them so additcing and so fun i wasnt worried about a new 50 dollar skin or grinding to get a optic unlocked just played to have fun man i hope the gaming industry makes it backs to its roots till then farwell BF1943 💔❤

one of my favortites of all time. brings back lots of memories of late nights on the couch with my dad😂

This was my first bf game and i loved it so much and played it when i was younger sad to see it go

My first and favorite battlefield game

I would want them to remaster the game and bring this to Modern Consoles and PC and leave the game as it was; also add prone; keep the flying controls they were perfect on console also

Good thing you can still play bc2 on nexus servers

I was on the last day it was packed lobby's everyone was on I even seen the top 20 leader bored guys on and I haven't seen em in years/ I'm juggalo sinz/ will be remembered

private servers for the ps3 version are in the works baby

Makes me so sad because my first time playing it was when it was on Xbox game pass not too long ago for its last couple of weeks or days before it got shut down I didn’t know it at the time tell me was just fun game to check out and I fell in love with the game I put so many hours into that shit in the short amount of time that it was still able to be played then today I wake up wanting to play it because I enjoyed the fuck out of it just realize that I can’t and now I don’t know what to play I’ve been watching this RU-vidr who explores dead games and I’ve been really wanting to play this game because I know it was not a big community anymore and I remember enjoying it couple months ago it’s just sad to know my first experience with it was. Going to be my last hopefully one day custom servers will be available

if they sell this on steam ported to pc with functional servers people will BUY. sell it for $20 and don’t even change the graphics or engine

Doesn't make sense why they want to kill games off😢

Probably explains why there was a surge of players on battlefield 5.

They killed this game because it still had more players than that new halfassed garbagefield 2042

9:02 DID YOU JUST SAY 43 MILLION KILLS!?!?

What?? The Server will going Offline?😢😮

😢😢😢

Ha I was on the enemy side during these matches

noob lol

Am so upset it’s gone. Had months of game play on this. My wife said our second kid was going to come out humming the intro. Tens of thousands of kills. Are the leader boards up anywhere ?

Surely they have to refund your money for buying this game when you can't play it at all now theve cut multiplyer

I just tried it again, and I'm two days late I guess. Whack, I only got 15 years of fun. I want my money back.
