Yesterday the highly anticipated Battlefield 1943 finally arrived on both the Xbox 360 and the PS3, via their Xbox Live and the Playstation Network services, and the buzz from the gaming community is that its a hit – when you can play it. A real bargain costing only $15 on either system (there is a limited-play demo you can try for free), the game is already so popular that its servers have been overwhelmed and many gamers are having problems connecting for online play. For those who do manage to get into a game, competition can be fierce, especially for inexperienced players forced to battle it out with longtime fans of the series who are most likely familiar with maps being re-used from the previous title. Thankfully, GameAlmighty has posted an extensive strategy guide that covers everything from the vehicles and classes to the tactics and maps and should do a good job of helping to level the playing field. You can find it here.
