[Official] Battlefield 1943


Recommended Posts

Taking bets on the number of major issues they create with the patch. DICE makes decent vanilla BF games, but as soon as they start patching, they manage to ruin it.

Ha no doubt. They'll fix a load of issues nobody seems to be having while leaving the obvious ones everyone wants fixed.

OMG, I actually got in a game after much trying! :laugh:

Pretty fun. May actually buy it. Gonna try it a few more times to make sure I can at least get in games (even if it takes a bit of work), though.

I think that also has to do with the fact that a lot of people won't buy a full game without playing a demo first -- so, if the demo didn't work for them, they didn't buy the full game.

Downloaded the demo off PSN earlier so my friend could play it, since he's a big fan of bf1942. Didn't have any problems getting two matches done before the timer ran out on the demo. Though we'll definitely be waiting for the PC version. Not a huge fan of console fps. No lag issues at all network or graphics wise, but not entirely eye pleasing either. Hopefully the PC version has better textures and gameplay.

Sniping is no fun if your enemies can see you across the map with a giant triangle over your head.

Was able to play a match when I got home this morning. K/D 1/5 :) I did have a good time with it though, so no matter. I then lost the connection when a new round was starting so I just quit.

A lot tougher than BC due to the planes and such. I've always enjoyed the ground combat a lot more, for some reason. But in the round I played everyone seemed to want to just fly. Had to run all over the map just to find enemies.

Is it me or are the people on the demo having more problems than those of us with the full game?

Nope. I got the full game on hour 1, and still having a crap load of issues. Three of us in a party tried searching for over 15 minutes, then gave up. Tried again after an hour of playing COD Zombies, go into a game after 5 minutes, it was a lag fest, and we were kicked after about 3 minutes of playing.

So far the only successful times I have been able to play with friends has been at 1 AM last night and the one time I was able to join the game in progress with munky. Other than that have not been able to play with friends at all, and easily have spent upwards of not over an hour trying to do just that.

I just got into a game on the first try and right away.

Same, but that was only the trial for me. I don't know if they use different servers.

Try getting into a game with a full squad. Or even just two people. Sometimes it works and you get lucky.

Last night between 11PM and 2AM it was working perfectly for 3 of us. Today, you just cannot join with more than one person. And even then, you're getting lucky, then get kicked.

Oh well. It does suck, but I'm sure it'll get worked out eventually.

It could just be that I just came back from vacation so my mind is a bit cloudy and I'm a bit tired, but the game feels a bit chaotic to me. There doesn't seem to be much rhyme or reason for anything going on. I haven't found people using the mics with the exception of one game and there doesn't seem to be much coordination or attempt by the game, itself, to coordinate players.

I am getting really sick of this ****, I paid $15 for a game that I have been able to play 2 maybe 3 times.... I don't understand why we can't do private matches like in CoD? I have tried getting my money back and M$ refuses any type of refund... It has been what 4 days and we are still stuck the same as when it launched, BFBC still work flawlessly though so WTF!!!

I finally got in a game for the first time today a little while ago. Man, I wasn't aware player warping and skipping, super lag of doom etc was all a part of the new Battlefield experience?

Yeah, EA and DICE really screwed the pooch on this one. They need to acknowledge what's going on ASAP and fix it ASAP. If this was a retail game, people would be screaming bloody murder for spending $60 on it. As it is, we just spent $15, but still.

Hopefully I can play tonight without lag, and without waiting an hour to get on a server. It's a fun game when you can play. :(

Well good luck getting into a game my friend, I have been trying for close to a hour and nothing... I understand that it was $15 but it's almost like spending $60 for a game and you get only $15 worth of the game.... Little if anything has been done to correct the issues as far as I am concerned, and I am about to just say **** it and call it a day. I know I am not the only person that feels like they have been ripped off here and I could only hope that BFBC2 is not like this...

It's 1am in the UK and finally I got a good game going. But as someone mentioned. Typical BF gameplay. It looks like they took the squad incentives from BF2 and... Threw them away. Most go and run off to cap the nearest flag then don't bother to defend. Luckily if you're a sniper it works in your favor. I ended up getting 4 kills in one explosion before. :E

Yeah I thought they would have gotten it sorted in a day or two but it seems to have gotten even worse if anything. Really ruins what could be a great game.

I am quite excited for the coral sea map though, I love flying in this game.

Yep as already said, connecting as one person is not a big deal. I can get it about 50% of the time when I try on my own.

But joining with friends as a squad, still absolutely sucks, and considering the roots of all BF games is squad based play, and without it as you said in your other post it is just a choatic mess, and that all just adds up to it not being a good experience at all yet, and that just sucks big time. No simpler way to put it.

Tried this on my triple. Pretty awesome, might buy the game, I dunno yet. My only complaint is the collision issues. It would take me like 3 times to run over an enemy to get the kill. Otherwise, absolutely no connection issues, probably ran into a glitch or 2, pretty solid.
