Battlefield 1943

[Stee]

I can't fly for shit.

I only managed to kill 2 people in a entire game on the new map and one of them was by accident.

Oh well time to keep practicing.

Bought this a few days ago. It's overall a decent game and worth the 15$. I play on the ps3 so add me if you want to play. My psn Id is Italianbrian.

That's in every battlefield that has vehicles and I played the trial on the 360 last night 30mins? Why not just put it on a seperate server so we can play it more or something like that. Flying hard? What that is easy as shit I got in a plane first thing and shot down a number of people before I jumped out to the airfield

[Stee]

So besides the new map what else was added in the game?

[Korietsu]

If you want, you can catch me on 360, my gamertag is Korietsu. As for the question above, its the air superiority mode, and some minor fixes for stats.

Been playing the shit out of this game lately. Absolutely hooked. Anyone else still playing?

Anyone know how many ranks there are? I am not familiar with all the ranks and I was looking for a list.

What is everyones favorite class? I usually go for infantry the rocket launcher is nice.

I've been playing it and BF:Bad Company. Personally, the class depends on the map. Iwo Jima i play Rifleman/scout. Guadalcanal is Scout/Infantry and Wake Island is Infantry/Rifleman with the occasional scout to get pesky fucks out of turrets.

I think there's somewhere around ~35 ranks. I'm on 27 or so atm, haven't played cause I've been playing the shit out of bad company and realized I under appreciated the game.

I play Scout every game, and average bout 10+ kills every game. I find sniping very fun in this game and challenging so I like it ^^. Also here is a tip that I found that helps me with the sniper. Try to aim ahead of them a little bit, thats how I hit them.

[zoobernut]

I tend to stay away from scout except maybe on Iwo. I feel like rifleman is long distance enough but still shoots faster for close range. Plus it is hard to get past the scout having a hand gun which makes me cause there is no defense against vehicles if you find a jeep all the way up on the hill you are hiding out on.

I tend to focus more on flags then kills. I usually end up second or first on my team for points but usually have only 5-10 kills per round.

I think I am rank 17 now.

if its anything like old BF games, aim for the neck if you want a headshot.

is this coming to pc?

[Stee]

I still play whenever I get the chance.

I love the infantry class but I hate how the gun looks on the Japanese side so I switch to rifleman, which is in itself a awesome class.

It is

Don't aim for the neck. Just setting yourself up for failure. Its on the bad company engine, which works quite well for hit detection.

The last few days I been playing this game more and more. I probably put in around 40hrs in the last few days on it. Easily the best 15$ you could spend on a playstation store game.

The hit detection is not well done with respect to vehicles though. I don't know how many times I have run people over to not have them die. Can get frustrating at times.

That's generally latency related. Alot of times you'll hit them, and it will just push them, same thing happens in BF2 and Bad Company. Other times you'll miss completely and run them over.

[Stee]

The run over ratio in 1942 was pretty well done though and everytime you hit someone it would give you that satisfying clunk sound.

In 1943 it's pretty frustrating because if the system doesn't register it as a hit the dude will probably be smart enough to blow you up with a launcher.

That has happened to me a couple times. I will find myself in a vehicle alone so no means of shooting and I see someone pull out their rocket launcher, in response I try to run them over, half the time it works the other half I get a rocket in the face.

[Plow]

Bit of a necro but meh.

Does anyone still play this? I picked it up a couple days ago and I'm severely disappointed.


Mostly because I was expecting a 12v12 game... and it *never* is. I don't think I've even seen it get above 6v6.

Which makes it, well... terrible. 95% of the time is spent trying to find action, or sitting waiting for it to come to you.

The thing that doesn't make any sense is it's not like that's all the people that are playing or something. Every game is full of completely different people. It's just that they're never even remotely close to full.

Anybody know what's up? Or interested in goofing off with a mediocre fps'er lol >.>


Also, epic rockets to the face from someone you've so clearly run over that their head is sticking up through the seat next to you are epic.
