The Battlefield 1943 (XBLA/PC/PSN) Official Thread

Love the C4 or whatever. I just need to learn how to use them efficiently. I kinda have all 3 together. Maybe they are for tanks, but I managed to use them to help defend the airfield base.
1) Stick all 3 charges on a jeep or plane
2) Pilot the vehicle straight towards a cluster of enemies at full speed
3) Bail out
 
God damn, this game is a fucking blast to play. Holy shit moments in every game. Made it to level 15 today. So easy to forget all the server problems once you're in a game.
 
now that gaf 1943 finally shows up in my friends list I will definitely just be joining matches I see other gaffers playing in from now on.

I joined one at the tail-end of one match. The next starts and the other team must have all left but like 3 of them. By the time more people showed up we already had the match won.
 
That last game was such bullshit :lol

It was about 6 GAFers and 5 other dudes against my team made up of 4 or 5 people total.

I wonder if developers don't like Microsoft's "Gold/Silver Live Policy" for online multiplayer only arcade games. You can't even buy the game if you only have a silver.

Are you aware of how well this game is already selling on Xbox Live despite all the problems?
Do you think it will sell anywhere near as well on PSN?

You deserved that shot in the back after the total rape that your team dished out on mine :lol

I was scrounging to get any base I could (usually the Air Raid one) and as soon as I captured it I'd get overrun

edit: holy shit its 5am...time for bed! And then as soon as I get up more BF action.

Holy shit. There are some stupid people playing this game. I just single handily won a 12 on 12 round for my team. I had double the kills compared to anyone and 939 points. :lol

Who knew being good at this game directly correlates to intelligence... so are you like a Rhodes scholar or something?

Jesus. Maybe I should have just said no one was bothering to capture any spawn points. So I had to do it my fucking self.


Can I ask how you linked your Tag there, I kinda wanna see my stats

You need to make an EA account. If you already have one, you can just log in.

What the hell, the "failed to connect to EA online" error message is back...

Pretty sure EA's servers are down across the board. They usually do maintenance at 2 AM Pacific, so that could be the culprit.
 
Few corrections/changes, if possible:

- When Scoreboard is popped up, it should not stop you from running or doing whatever you were doing.
- Ability to create your own squad or able to see who is teaming up with whom. It's a pain in the ass when there are two or more squads with space yet it always forces you to team up with the first choice. I want to team up with fellow GAF members but it always puts me with some random nobody.
- Ability to pop up the entire map instead of a small blip in the bottom. If there is a way, please let me know for I couldn't find one.
- Crosshair while running is the same as crosshair with ironsight. It kills the purpose of using ironsight and provides alot of running and gunning. Atleast expand the crosshair when a player is running without using ironsight and lower the accuracy when not using ironsight.
- When you change view in jeep or any fixed gun, the crosshair disappears. Please allow us to use the crosshair for it's annoying being in first-person while the other person is driving like a fucking maniac.
- Maybe it's just me but either the sniper's not accurate enough or it doesn't have one-hit-headshot kill.
- When I am flying an airplane and I deploy a bomb, I don't see it at all when flying in third-person... yet when I'm on the ground and NOT flying an airplane, I can see it. What's up with that?
- When I accept an invite, why is it that It doesn't automatically squad me up with that player or force me to be in the same team if both teams have the same player? I hate being invited only to face who invited me...
- No offense but every map is exactly the same! Yes, I know these are classic battlefield maps but I remember them being distinguishably different. Now, they are all palm trees and hills. Day/Night variations would be awesome/nice addition to the game.
- Lack of spectating after dying is annoying. Forcing you to wait for the spawn to complete to go to options menu is far more annoying. When the match ends, forcing you to wait for the scoreboard and the next map to load up before you can quit is REALLY annoying. This can be fixed very easily. Please fix this!

I think that is why I like this game so much, I find the grenade/rocket spam extremely fucking lame and you can't do that in this game. I wish more developers would take some notes and cut down on the nade/rocket bullshit.

Wait, why can't you do that in this game? I havn't been able to play more than the tutorial due to EA account issues, but it seems that spamming would be really easy here, with all the ammo being unlimited.
 
The Coral Sea Campaign starts in just over eight hours. Can get a full night's rest and be up in time to get crackin'. :lol

Wtf last night everything was fine, but now I can't even connect to EA online.

EA servers are down. Completely unrelated to anything specific to 1943.

The splash damage radius is really small.

It's really awesome when I run across some one who tries to start spamming grenades at you and you can just take your time picking them off.

So whats the deal with the XBL/PSN contest?

I think this is why the servers are down for everyone (both PSN and XBL), they are probably resetting the community kills as the contest officially starts today.

The ammo isn't really unlimited in THAT sense. I mean, you get two grenades, three rifle propelled grenades and when theyre gone theres a sizable cooldown on providing you with more.

If I use all three of my rifle propelled grenades it'll swap me to the standard rifle function and display a small timer on the empty ammo icon for it.
 
Rated-Rsuperstar said:
Headshots are definitely 1 hit kills. Everything else is 2 hits.

Then it's definitely me. Another thing I'll add is that the kill indication is glitchy as hell. I kill someone with a grenade, it shows a rifle. I kill someone with an airstrike, it shows a rifle. Yes, this happens only rarely but it does happen.

Question: I know that for anti-air, you have to shoot in advance to count for the distance/travel. I know it was the same for snipers in 1942. Is it the same in 1943 for snipers as well i.e. I have to shoot in advance when someone is running or do I aim straight for the head and it'll be a sure shot? I'm asking cause I have tried both and I have yet to have a massive success with sniper.

I'm wondering the same thing. While I've had success with the sniper. There are still times when leading a target is a one shot kill or it's not even close.
