Battlefield 1943

After my 30 minute demo I've taken the plunge and invested £9.99 in this game via the PSN store.

I quite enjoyed Warhawk and this seems to be more of the same - except with the option of getting boats!

Cracking little game IMO. Anyone else got it yet?

I haven't, might take a look at that actually. Only £9.99? Has it been out a while?

Defintely worth a tenner this.

Lovely stuff.

No, it came out Thursday. You can download the demo although you are limited to a total of 30 minutes after which you just pay £9.99 if you want the game.

Which I did.  I've taken three people out by running them over with an aggresive boat landing.

Definitely worth the money. A tenner is a bargain, it's a cracking game.  There's more free DLC to come, as well.

Not sure if it's better than Battlefield 2 or 2142, but still a brilliant little game.

Nice.

I can't figure out how to fly the planes.

I thought I was getting the general hang of it, until the water started coming in. Arses.

Play the tutorial to get used to them. I got about 50 suicides when I started, but you get used to it and it becomes fairly simple. The tutorial doesn't let you practise dogfights, though.

Nice one.

I'll get onto that.

PLanes are rock hard.  I'll have a go at that tutorial this instant.

10 Pounds? Is that for PS3?

Yep. Not sure if it's on the 360 Store though.

Loving this game

So much fun, for a tenner.

Hopefully get a few people on it from here and we'll have a team game.

No wonder JD you are playing this game instead of modding the forum!

Up for that. The sooner the better, while we're all fresh.

When is this going to be released for PC?

Yeah it is available on the Xbox Live Marketplace, same price.

I am really enjoying the game but It does have 1 downfall, which is the Re-Spawn locations, why do I always re-spawn next to an enemy.

Right, I'm downloading the trial version now.

I'm guessing you have to download the trial version before purchasing the full game upgrade?

Yep.

Get on it fella. Tis good.

I liked the sound of the 'team' thing.

Can you actually do that? Like say some of us from here in a game against other people online?

Just waiting to get home so I can play on this, my download finished before.

When is this going to be released for PC?

I think it's end of August on PC.

Piece of sh*t at trying to connect to your online friends this game.

UNless it's the Friday night busyness.

Good game this.

Was in a tank yesterday, and who blew it up? ^^^^

Anyone else feeling the pointlessness of the aeroplanes.

I learned how to fly them, but now I don't know why. They're sh*t!

Pretty tough things to fly in all honesty. It's not what you'd expect, i.e. down on the stick to fly higher, up to fly lower.

But yeah they are pretty pointless, and if you crash it's a -10 on your score. Pretty harsh.

Everyone else seems to be able to do it fine.

Chilling in a field and got bombed to f*ck by some numpty in a plane.  Gutted. Must do better.

I made the mistake of trying to fly my first time and got BEAT DOWN to the point of me almost throwing the controller out the window

I need to start on the ground first and go from there

Planes are horrible, and when someone is following you shooting you in a plane, there really is nothing you can do, as the planes aren't very agile to evade them, and the turn radius is so big you can't turn back on them. You can have a pretty torrid time with them. I've found that the Japanese planes are better than the yanks.

They should've made 2 slots for the plane, 1 as a gunner.

Good game this.

Good game this. Was a passenger in a boat yesterday and guess who threw me off and then made me swim all the way to shore? ^^^^

Know what you mean about the planes being chased, but you can get out of trouble.

I did a boss Top Gun turn the other day and ended up blowing up the plane that had been following me.

(Before I crashed in to a pylon).

What is it with people on this who would rather blow up your own planes than see you have one off the warship?

Bitter c*nts, I'm telling you.

They're all blue.

More than likely.

Killed something with a plane though. Was getting into my stride and then crashed into another plane. Counts though apparently.

Some quality forum representation on this lastnight from Reslivo, JD and myself.

We all did well, as long as I stayed away from the planes!

I've had a couple of go's of Air Superiority and I'm a lot better with the planes now. Some people on that game are complete tools.

I had one fella drive the boat and landed us absolutely nowhere near a flag.  We were both running up this road for ages - I kept turning round and taking a shot at him (not that it does anything). Complete dick.

Would be good if we could get a full team of us.

It is a cracking game, but I'm not sure if its better than Warhawk or not. Might have to have another crack on Warhawk to check. (Although it is much easier to sort the online friends out).

Going to be on this in about 10 minutes.

Anybody want to meet my bitches?

Anybody want to meet my bitches?

I'll sort that out shortly matey.

Scores per minute are wrong.

JD and I make quite the team in the tank with him driving and me on the turret.

Nobody stands a chance!

This game is a lot of fun, but flying is a waste of time

My entire stance on this game summed up in one neat post.

Still love getting in them and pretending they're good though!

Played the trial for the 1st time today can anyone tell me if the people on the trial are kept seperate from those who have bought the game?

Not sure about being kept apart.

But what we did learn was that triallist couldn't join paying members squad games.  For instance I can go in and join someone on my friends list. Trialists can't do that.

Been constantly and consistently getting a 200+ score on almost every game I play, and 8+ kills.

359 on Iwo Jima, 13 kills, 9 times killed.

Getting there!

Every single level, I have found a sniper spot that I can get at least 10 kills from.

One in Guadalcanal overlooks the hill fort, and the adjacent base. One in Iwo Jima overlooks 60% of the whole map. One in Wake Island overlooks roughly 40% of the map, but covers the majority of the main base.

Some good stuff going on here chaps

At least I know where to find you now fella. Roughly anyway.

Not a chance mate, no one ever finds me on Iwo Jima and Wake Island

I'll be on your's then mate.

Bagsy driving the jeeps yeah?

Got a brilliant score today - 18 kills, 7 deaths, 440 points on Gualdalcanal!

I was laughing, it was so easy!

Bwahahaha!

Gone a bit quiet in this thread.

No doubt because me and Res are the Kings of the game. Never mind - at least some of you had a go.

Stand down soliders!

I'm getting onto it now....

Watched Black Hawk Down the other day so I'm feeling militant.

Anyone up for a game in about an hour then?

BUMP!!

Started playing this again.

Took me about 2 minutes to get used to the controls once more.

Highest score is 250 since the restart.

It's good like but MW2 quenches my thirst for bloodshed.

Have there been any updates since we last played? I remember a promise or two of new levels?

Nada mate, just plain old BF1943.

Which is much better than MW2, by the way

Battlefield in general is better than CoD!

Had a good few rounds on this with JD the other night, good times.

Will be on again from 2200 hours if anyone fancies a few games.

Which is much better than MW2, by the way

Not having that.

Haven't played BFBC2 yet but I hear good things.

Can you fly the planes properly on BF1943 yet?
