"Pacific" has cut back on the amount of classes, leaving only Infantry, Rifleman and Scout. However, in the new title, developer DICE has changed many of the revered gameplay mechanics. Although I loved playing as a Medic to help out my teammates, there were times where I had to look at the scoreboard, see where my team was weak, and change my playstyle. If everyone played as Medics, our team would be sniped from afar by Scouts. If everyone was playing as Assault, our team would be demolished by vehicles. I really enjoyed the teamwork-oriented gameplay in "1942." I loved how players needed to step up, assess the situation, and decide what they should be. In "1942," players could choose from five classes - Assault, Anti-Tank, Engineer, Scout, Medic - each with their own advantages and weaknesses. " Battlefield 1943 Pacific" is a remake of 2002's critically-acclaimed " Battlefield 1942" but with a more casual, pick-up-and-play style. At New York Comic Con, Multiplayer intern Sal Basile got a chance to check out " Battlefield 1943: Pacific." As a fan of the series, here are his impressions and notes on some of the changes made in the game.
