This was a multiplayer-only release, complete with the vehicles and player classes that Battlefield is known for. At launch, the game reviewed well, averaging a Metacritic score of 83 for the Xbox 360 release.
Xbox One players who already own Battlefield 1943 should be able to dive right in now. Otherwise, you can pick the game up at the [Xbox Marketplace for $9.99 at the Xbox Marketplace.
