FREE BF1943

[omarionfire]

Remember when those bums at EA promised us BF1943, and we got zilch at the end?

Well thats going to change. Some people formed a class action suit against EA and EA has given in.

So EA is finally making good , giving all PS3 Battlefield 3 players a free code to download the PSN title. European players can get theirs on November 26th, North Americans on December 10th, and players in Asia will have to wait until December 17th.

Previously, the publisher tried to make up for the omission by offering one-week exclusivity for PS3 on upcoming DLC packs, but it wasn't enough to placate the community.

You can see how to redeem your code on EA's website, which gives the following instructions:

"To download your copy of Battlefield 1943 for the PlayStation 3 please follow the easy steps below.

1. Activate your Battlefield 3 Online Pass for the PlayStation 3 using the voucher included in the game (see step #5 for additional instructions).

2. Visit 1943redemption.battlefield.com on or after the dates outlined above for your region and log in with your Origin ID and password. Click here if you need help with retrieving your account information.

3. Select your territory. Note vouchers do not work across regions.

4. You will then receive a PlayStation 3 voucher for Battlefield 1943.

5. Input your voucher into the PlayStation Network store. From the XMB (cross media-bar) of the PlayStation 3 connected to a network, choose [account management] under the [PlayStation Network]. From the menu select redeem codes. Enter voucher and select continue. Download Battlefield 1943."

That's good to hear although I wouldn't have cared about it. I tried the demo and it was too cartoony for me. I guess I'll play it once in a full moon.

[SovereignSpirit]

Yeah, I got credit for veteran status for playing the demo. That's all I wanted from that game. I was to sad that they didn't include it. EA probably gave it up because they thought to themselves:

"What they want? BF '43? LOL, whuteva! It doesn't evan matta!"

[Jammer]

I could see then giving the game out and shutting down the servers. "Oh, you want the game? You can have it, but you can't play it. LOL "

[DeadCamper]

For those who might not be aware, BF1943 is a very, very good game.

[SovereignSpirit]

Exactly. They'll shut down all but two servers worldwide.

[BeazelWeasel]

If they harnessed the raw gameplay of BF1943 and put enough content to make it a full fledged game, it'd blow BC1, BC2 and BF3 right out of the water and it'd be a true sequel to a Battlefield game.

I asked EA's very own John Riticciello what he thought of the situation. His response:

[palto1826]

Damn...and I bought it like a chump years ago

[DeadCamper]

Look at that charming silverback. Damn manipulative, handsome bastard...

[Dronir]

I got it for free with the BC2 ultimate edition >_> anyone want a free code?

[Jammer]

Fairly certain most of us can get the game free now anyway.

[Biggles]

I'll take it, if you've still got it to hand out.

[Dronir]

PM'd it to you Biggles. Glad someone's getting use out of it.
