is the sixth title in the Battlefield series

Battlefield 1943 is the first mini-game in the Battlefield series to be released in the pay-to-download genre. Battlefield 1943 recreates the classic maps and weapons and loadouts of Battlefield 1942 using the Frost engine and supports building frame destruction effects. The game supports up to 24 simultaneous online battles with a focus on entertaining gameplay and faster-paced, more exhilarating combat than Battlefield 1942. The game set records for "day one sales" and "week one sales" for Xbox 360 and PS3 downloadable games, and was so popular that the official servers nearly crashed.
