I dunno, 24 player Warhawk matches always seem to turn out fine on even larger maps...time will tell, but I think it'll be just fine.
Especially since the action will focus on 5 specific targets of the map, and not a TDM type game, it should produce plenty of action. (probably why there is no death match). And when the dogfight map is opened, 24 planes in the air will be crazy.

But doesn't Warhawk have dedicated servers? (Does BF1943? Haven't seen anything about it)GodofWine said:

Honestly, I don't think I ever played Battlefield with more than 24 players anyway. I don't think the limit will hurt it at all. I just can't wait to be back on Wake Island on Wednesday.

Dedicated servers were confirmed in a Q&A eurogamer article a little while back.
As I've said before, the team sizes in Bad Company where the same as they are in 1943, and the maps in BC are fucking huge, I would argue a couple actually seem larger than any of the three for 1943, and the games don't feel anywhere near like a wasteland. There's constant chatter going on telling you what the enemy team is doing, your team's progress, etc. The game always let you know when shit was going down.
On a side note; most of the gameplay demos I've seen feature people playing 1943 who clearly have never touched BC's multiplayer. Many of the outlets who did previews seemed to be going into it expecting an HD 1942. But everything I've seen thus far indicates to me that instead of this being 1942 with a better engine, it's actually alternatively a Bad Company texture pack.
I don't mean that in a bad way by any means, since I love Bad Company's multiplayer. But gameplay wise this definitely looks like it'll feel more like BC then 1942, which I don't think a lot of the reviewers expected (or even thought about).
Then again I may just be talking out of my ass

Yes, but in BF:BC there's only one target at all times in gold rush. I never played conquest mode (traditional BF gametype), but I heard it DID feel kind of empty.
That said, I used to play on a 32player Wake 24/7 server in BF2 and it never really felt empty, and I imagine a lot of those times I played it wasn't full.

So has anyone else been playing bad company in anticipation for this wed/thur?

My apologies if this has been asked already:
Will I be able to play this online with my old lady on the same ps3, similar to how we play halo 3?

Since BF:BC doesn't support guests and it's using the same engine my guess would be no.

i've said it before, and i'll say it again. in BFBC, in rush mode, 12 on 12 works well. in conquest mode, it just doesn't work that well, except on ascension, which s a pretty small map.Loxley said:As I've said before, the team sizes in Bad Company where the same as they are in 1943, and the maps in BC are fucking huge, I would argue a couple actually seem larger than any of the three for 1943, and the games don't feel anywhere near like a wasteland.

EA's multiplatform efforts have been pretty solid. I wouldn't be worried about the PSN version at all.

what made you decide to get this on 360 over ps3? Not trying to start system warz, I only ask because it was either you who sent me a psn friend request or vice versa for this game.
Just a reminder to folks who haven't seen it, there is a thread for 1943 listing GAF XBL Tags and PSN ID's over in the online discussion forum.
Get in there and post your GT or ID and I'll promptly update the list. We're building quite a hefty community of GAFers for the game.

Many reasons. But I am 360 only for near future. Add TheInquistor on live, feel free to delete me off PSN for now.

Yeah saw that. I need to add some more GAFers when I get home. What is the friends list limit on Live?

i've played tons of BFBC on both platforms, and it's a pretty good port.tarius1210 said:
in fact, the sound on the ps3 version is fucking phenominal.
this is using the same engine.
then again, the PS3 version does freeze on occasion. maybe once every 20 hours (of gameplay) or so...
no, you can't.GK86 said:

Here's PS3 footage of 1943 for you: http://www.gametrailers.com/video/psn-beta-battlefield-1943/51777tarius1210 said:
I think the days of bad PS3 versions of EA multiplat games are behind us. EA has definitely turned it around nicely.
^This. That's all I wanted because anything above that is just stupid chaos. For one, you never get any of the vehicles come some jack ass would take a jeep by himself and end up driving it into the water and you'd have 10 guys waiting for 1 plane to spawn.ToyMachine228 said:
24 works because the action is centered on the flags. When a game on wake starts up the japs hold all the flags so its this crazy frantic fight to get on the island and start capping points. Just the same with 32 or more, but its just not such a cluster fuck with only 24. It would have been nice if they included more players, but you know, it's still a DL only game....
ultron87 said:
Depends on if they keep you to only 4 friggin' people again. That shit was so fucking annoying in BFBC thanks to everyone always being a sniping douche bag.
Really? That sort of changes things, lol. I always liked starting on the closest 2 points so i could get in the big guns on the ends of the island and blast anybody coming ashore. Oh well, that'll be interesting. I just hope there's plenty of jeeps around the air field on something like wake.Klocker said:

no, i was laughing because you're either going to play that awful single player demo, or be sitting there trying and failing to connect online since it's pretty much near impossible to play the demo online now, they must have like 1 demo server up...MMaRsu said:Hey I don't have the full game anymore..
GK86 said:
He meant how you have to actually hold L3 to sprint. Its the same on 360 so its not about changing cunfiguration. Its about letting you click to run instead of hold to run(like KZ2 which is a bliss). Click to run should be mandatory to all future FPS games, seriously.
