WastedJoker Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 I'm on PS3 and finding games easily and without much lag. My problem is the controls and hit-detection. It seems they've gone down the Bad Company route - very inaccurate "spray and pray" and the flight controls are so unfriendly they had to have been designed that way! You can amend the controls, to be honest, but it just doesn't feel "right". Your tilt is very twitchy compared to your ability to yaw/pitch too. It all feels heavy and you have no idea how/why/when you died most of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vincent Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 You joking? I kid, i kid Games aren't cross compatible, console versions have their own servers. Quake III on DC servers had PC players pwning us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReAnimation Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Bought BF 1943 on The PSN earlier on this evening. Really enjoying it. No lag, joining servers with no problems either. Anyone thinking about purchasing Battlefield 1943 for the PS3, don't worry about lag / no servers. Pick it up now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check on New Releases, its the second game that appears. It just popped up on the PSN (at least the US store), I was checking every 5 minutes.

ViperAFK Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 wasn't for me at the time I got it, I distinctly had remembered it being in the spotlight on my friends xbox too but I got home and went to buy it and it wasn't there at all, and it wasn't showing up in the marketplace. It was probably a glitch or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoLiMiT06 Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 Well double the servers my ass, still can't join a damn game! This is getting really f'in stupid, I want a damn refund for my points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest MGS3_GrayFox Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 Well, I downloaded the trial, played Wake Island, and the game is damn fun. A little different from other FPS (maybe its that I don't play FPS on console, only on PC), I need time to get adjusted to the controls. Flying is fun, and using the tank is too easy to get a lot of points. Seems the PS3 version doesn't have any problems of connecting or lag, guess its only an Xbox Live issue?

NoLiMiT06 Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 (edited) Update#6: Some technical issue slowed down the targeted time of the major server increase, but fear not we have increased the the server capacity and the bigger increase is going to happen. No one is sleeping or resting until it is complete. Buy stock in Red Bull because we have consumed it in liters! PS3 having less layers in it's configuration has gone smooth and server capacity is holding for now and servers still being added for the weekend spike.I also want to add I have never helped lead such an extraordinary event and teams with so many people working so hard and passionately before. I know it is frustrating for you guys, but know the best best I can hope for are working on this and making things happen. This is not lip service, this is action baby! Server Locations Xbox 360: Amsterdam, Miami, Fremont CA, and Tokyo. We are adding more locations as we to spread the load of players. PS3: Amsterdam, Virginia, L.A., and Tokyo. We are adding more locations as we to spread the load of players. Fun Facts I need to share something fun and cheery now. And even though many can't get in, many have and played a lot of games already. * On Day 1 there were 29.45 years of gameplay completed on Xbox 360 * Over 5 millions kills in the first day! Source BTW if we get 5mil kills a day for 8.5 days we will get the new map :D Edited July 10, 2009 by NoLiMiT06 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MGS3_GrayFox Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 5 million kills the first day? 9 more days and the other map will be unlocked. Oh, never mind, the counter starts tomorrow.

DirtyLarry Veteran Posted July 10, 2009 Veteran Share Posted July 10, 2009 So basically US servers are still screwed? Once again my plans have been foiled and apparently I will not be playing right now as I had initially planned, but there is always the possibility of hopping on in two to three hours when my wife falls asleep. However if there are still issues, I honestly will not even bother and just go to bed as well. So if someone from the US can just confirm if they are indeed still having issues, it would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrew_f Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 In the UK. The PS3 servers were really fast earlier, they were not a problem at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
