Support NeoGAF

[UltimaPooh]

Maybe someone should create a Battlefield 1943 Gamertag so we can have a clan going.

I'd be willing to do it, as long as it gets decent support in this thread.

Oh and since I saw people talking about wanting more maps, etc on the last page I just thought I would add...I would so pay another 1200 points for a Battlefield Vietnam on XBLA in the same vein as 1943. On the Bad Company engine, with four maps from Battlefield Vietnam...I don't think it would be quite as big a hit as 1943 has been, but given the success of it, I think it'd sell enough to warrant it.

 

[Mr. Durden]

I want MOAR maps for fuck sake. And I want the map cycle to change. No more two times the same map after each other plz.

I think that's so teams can experience each starting base.

 

[bigGIRLSblouse]

I'd really love to be on a team that actually played like this.

The best I can get is maybe a squad of 3 working together, and one of those guys is my roommate playing in the other room :lol We can usually coordinate attacks pretty well together, but if I'm capturing/defending a flag with some random people there's never any sort of coordination or plan whatsoever.

A week ago or so I was able to pull together a team of 7 that I knew. We just kept trying to join when open slots were there. All in an Xbox Live Party to communicate and we pretty much tore up the islands. So much fun.. until the game split us and we could never get everyone back on the same team.

An organized team can dominate the game...

 

[UltimaPooh]

Alright guys I created an XBOX Live clan for the game so we can start making matches the involved GAFers. The Gamertag to add is NeoGAF 1943

 

[brandumpling]

On the PSN version I once played Iwo Jima 5 times in a row.

I love Wake so I would mind playing that map all day

[MaritalWheat]

So that's what GAF looks like...thinner than I thought.

[UltimaPooh]

Yeah whats the tag?

This game is awesome but the glitches are starting to get annoying.

Why does my TNT sometimes simply disappear? I throw it on a tank, I see it flashing, I run to a safe distance, watching the tank the entire time, go to make them explode, nothing happens. It's as if I never placed them. Then of course I am dead because I am a sniper with now no shot at defending myself against a tank. Why can't I even throw the TNT?

Sound effects sometimes drop too. There are times when I'm running and then BAM I'm dead and I have no idea how and it turns out there was a dude with an SMG a few feet from me and I didn't hear any of his shots.

Guadacanal, people constantly run THROUGH the ground on the hilly parts of the map. Very frustrating when you are trying to lead a sniper shot only to have 3/4 of a dudes body go into the ground.

Reloading. Often times I get no reloading animation at all. That or it will go about halfway through the animation and then just stop for no reason. Or it goes through the animation and I still can't fire for a few seconds after the animation is complete. This is especially common with the bazooka for me.

Team balance. Not really a glitch but a hell of an issue. Not uncommon at all for a 12 on 12 to suddenly become a 12 on 6 the next map. And why does my squad get separated onto different teams after we've been on the same team a few maps in a row?

Hopefully they can fix some of this. Like I said it's still an awesome game. Got 41 hours online so far and not stopping yet. But I would play more if there was more polish.

 

[MMaRsu]

I believe it's Gaf1943

Check the online forum if you want to make sure. It's already filled with hundred gaffers or something

For serious. This happened to me yesterday and I almost knocked over the magazine rack because of it. It was one of the few times I was playing sniper and this tank came rolling up a road right next to me. He had the bead on me and I hid behind a little ridge just above the road - although I have no doubt I was lit up like a christmas tree with the magical red triangle of doom. He got a little too close so I made my move - jumping over the ridge directly at him. He had a gunner as well, and I took a few bullets, turning my screen a pulsating red. I jumped down to the tank, threw a C4 and witnessed it securely sticking to the front of the tank. Panicked, he starts to reverse. I instantly pull out the plunger, trying to decide if I made it to a safe distance yet or not. Although at that point I really didn't care - if I take him down with me I would consider it a moral victory. I yank the plunger - twice - and nothing happened. By then he had retreated far enough away and proceeded to gun me down in my own failure. I cursed Dice and the fucking monkeys that coded this game and had to rage quit for awhile.

would be nice if this game had clan support.

Really? How many games actually have clan support on consoles.

Oh these juniors.

GAF thinks they're special. You'll get used to it. Say.... where you sitting during lunch? I'm Jesse.

 

[Kyoufu]

I can't take a class-based team warfare game seriously if it doesn't let me prone.

 

[brandumpling]

im down in my mom's basement....she is making me a sandwich for lunch.

 

[Asmodai]

I gotta say, Iwo Jima is the only map I don't like so far. It's just stupidly undersized..."Mount Suribachi" is like the smallest hill around. And flying around in that map is a pain because the two carriers are so close, there's not much room to do it.

Guadacanal on the other hand is awesome. Jungle undergrowth for good cover, great for sniping or close in fighting, and best for flying around all match. I like it even more than Wake Island on 1943.

The juniors keep the place interesting! :lol

Spoiler

I was a junior until a week ago or something, but I lurked for a year so it doesn't count right?

 

[lemon__fresh]

I could really go for a special all Wake Island map rotation.

 

[Spl1nter]

I could really go for a special all Wake Island map rotation.

Agreed but that is mainly because I find it the best map for flying. Really would like to see the original set up for wake with american held island and japanese attacking.

I drive tank and its great for that as well (especially when you control the airbase). I really hope they release some new maps before the end of the year to at least help keep the bf community strong.

 

[CitizenCope]

When I play alone I find nobody wants to ride in my Tank. Sure you can be an easy target up top but you can eliminate 3 to 5 enemies before you're taken out.

The MG up top is really strong and can make a tank last alot longer. Also its great for me when I bomb your tank and get a double kill

 

[Loxley]

and the name of tag is?

GAF 1943 DEUX

It's the second GAF tag we've got going, the first one (GAF 1943) is completely full. DEUX however has plenty of room

 

[Shoogoo]

Now I have a question. Last night I randomly repaired a tank for the fuck of it and it gaves me points (+15 I think) which I never noticed.

Since then I repaired random vehicles but it never gave me points.

So, what's the rule?

I believe a teammate has to be in it or you have to repair more than half its health.

Alread said... I got pretty pissed off yesterday as I was in a tank and went to repair a teammates tank. As soon as I start repairing his tank he jumps out and takes mine. Then a person jumps in the one I am repairing and drives away.....

I've fully repaired 2 critically damaged tanks and got no points, then I repaired 1/4 health on a jeep and got points. That was in 2 different games BTW.

so all in all it's random or something...

 

[out0v0rder]

I forgot about this game already. FIX THE VOICECHAT DICE, THATS WHY NO ONE USES IT!

 

[USD]

To get points for repair, someone has to be in the vehicle and from my experience, you need to repair somewhere between 1/3 and 1/2 (or more) of the vehicle's health.

 

[lemon__fresh]

Wrong, try again.

Gunners are nice but as long as my enemies are in front and I have some room to retreat im good.

That is really the most important thing. With room to back up you are pretty much indestructible. Do this all the time at beach on wake or at the two bunker side bases on guadalcanal. Just rack up the kills and you are able to drop back to repair whenever needed.

 

[brandumpling]

I still find it funny how EVERY match people race to the base that has the air-raid bunker and you almost always see the same person over and over calling in the raids......its patheic really. Air-raids have very little impact on the overall match....the best thing they really do it destroy tanks. This is truely a game where you can keep your KDR positive even if you are the shitties player around....just camp air-raids and snipe from the farthest hill away from the battle

 

[Dyno]

Enjoying the game. Lots more friends downloaded this compared to full price online shooters so that increases the fun. The squad functions, like spawning with your squad saves on a lot of running around. That said, a few more vehicles would alliviate that problem even more.

I'm thinking motorcycles with sidecars would be great.

interesting, air raids scare the heck out of me. Maybe its just a psychological block from previous bf games.

 

[BlaneH]

Air raids used to be so nasty in BF 2.

BF2 didn't have air raids. You must be thinking of artillery strikes.

this. Also 2 man planes and 4 man apc's.

That and jets dropping bombs, basically anything that comes from the sky except for helicopters.

 

[brandumpling]

air-raids are pretty easy to avoid. And its so fun to shoot the fag as soon as he leaves the air-raid bunker. And damn its funny when people start hopping when you shoot ath them.....sit still bitch and quit delaying the inevitable:lol
