Battlefield 1943 is a remake of Battlefield 1942 on Windows. Battlefield 1943 is a first-person shooter with multiplayer only set in the Pacific Theater. The player can choose to battle on either the US or Japanese side and must take and hold critical points on rebuilt Battlefield 1942 Pacific Island levels.
The player can pick between three classes at the start of a game (or after being killed): foot soldier, rifleman, and scout. The distinction between the classes is in their armament: scouts, for example, have a sniper rifles, while infantry personnel have anti-tank guns. The player can also use any car, boat, or airplane found in the game.
Awards, ranks, destructible buildings, and an air strike that may be called in from a unique building on the battlefield are all improvements over the original Battlefield 1942 game.
