Battlefield 1943 out!

^^^ Agreed. Another thing they need to add that I discovered last night on the Wake Island map, if you miss a landing craft and accidentally fall off the aircraft carrier, there doesn't seem to be a ladder to get back up as with BF1942 and BF2. I spent 5 minutes swimming to the island and was righteously pissed about it. Is there some secret method of getting back on the ship that I'm not aware of? I swam around the entire boat and no ladder. :(

Look for cargo nets.
 
^^^ I did. No cargo nets either. Nothing hanging down towards the water that could be used to climb back up. It's quite irritating.
 
I fell off the ship once last night (actually I was making a jump for the landing craft and missed) and I was lucky enough that the guy driving the lc actually came back and got me. That was a first.
 
Yeah, you'll find people who aren't jerks. :lol:

I try to wait for people if I see that they're coming my way anyway. The jeeps on Wake Island being the prime example.
 
You guys still playing this? I usually manage to play at least three games a day, sometimes more. Anyway, I wanted to brag... I just had the best game ever. 24 kills and 753 points. :D
 
Must admit, I dropped off after I got the 100 game achievement. I'll probably pop in sometime when I get back to my place though.

For the most part I've given up on it. I still play now and then, but I suck so bad at it as it make almost zero fun for me. My games pretty much go like this spawn, die shortly therafter, rinse and repeat, with a sprinkling of a kill here and there or a flag capture/defend/assist now and then.

I really like the game, the design and concept and the style of play, but I don't care for the execution that much. The infantry rifle is way over powered. One of the things I hate about all of these games are the sniper rifles, I think it takes a lot of fun out of the game to be killed halfway across the map by an unseen enemy. (At the risk of insulting you that like the sniper rifles and are good with them, I think it's kind of a chickenshit way to play, but that's just me.) With the way they've made the rifle work, it's basically another sniper rifle. Especially since the game so handily puts the little triangles over your head so you stick out to your enemies. :rolleyes:

The SMGs suck but frankly I can't hit shit with ANY of the machine guns in any form. Tanks, jeeps, mounted, or SMG it's all the same to me, useless. The AA guns are pretty good though.

I play it from time to time, but as soon as I finish a game I quit. It just isn't fun, it's annoying on many levels. Yet I go back. :rolleyes: Isn't that the definition of insanity? Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results?
 
^^^Sniper is your friend, stick to one flag, place explosives at it then get yourself high and hidden, then let rip with the sniper, on most maps you can see a good two or three flags ahead, so plenty of poor souls to take down from a distance, plus if anybody sneaks up on the flag your at, BOOOM with the old placed explosives.

:lol:
 
Thanks. I'm still a bit shocked actually. I usually suck at multiplayer games.

So when you get a big score like that, are you doing with planes, or just what are you doing to get that many kills?

After my last post, I decided to be a glutton for punishment and played a couple of more games Sunday night. It was mostly business as usual except for one game where I actually scored over 200 points and had about 10 kills. For me, that was an excellent game. Probably won't happen again, but if I could play like that a little more frequently, I wouldn't feel so useless and could enjoy it a lot more.

EDIT TO ADD: Does anyone else experience change depending upon which map they play? For example, if the map is Guadacanal (sp?) you can count on me having an absolute miserable time. On Wake Island on the other hand, I sometimes play ok (that's where I got my 200+ point game). I wonder if that's just me or if some of you have maps where you play better.
 
All of my high scoring games are when playing Air Superiority. So yeah, all of my kills are with a plane. I'm way way better at Air Superiority then at regular conquest.

And yeah, when playing conquest my score also depends on which map I'm playing. I usually do best on Wake Island and Guadalcanal. My scores are always lower on Iwo Jima. I just prefer open terrain with lots of Tanks. ;)
 
Honestly, I'm not much for multiplayer, but this game sounds fun enough that I'm considering downloading it (probably for PSN, since I don't feel like paying for both XBL Gold and BF1943).
 
I enjoy the game but will admit it does piss me off at times. I hate the one shot wonders, you could rip into them and bang one shot and your dead. but I do enjoy it
