Clay Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 It's been mentioned in the XBLA Arcade thread but it deserves its own thread, brilliant game. Just came second in my team with 10 kills and 1 death, getting better but it is pretty hard most of the time. Hopefully we'll have enough people for a squad and maybe private matches soon, what's your tag mate? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clay Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 I enjoyed this, shame its hard to get one of the planes. Aye, i don't bother getting one at the start of games as it's just a mad dash, but they're pretty easily to get hold of once you die and have to respawn, just choose a spawn point with the symbol of a plane near to it, just finished a game on Wake island and everytime i died there was a free plane, i'm so bad at bombing shit with one though.

Willow Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 my tag is waxonic These classic maps won't get old because they just work, I've played them in 1942, bf2, bf2142 over the years and they never tire! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clay Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 Cheers mate, i'll get you added for some games. Aye the maps are good, i'm still learning my way around them and the names of the bases, also looking forward to seeing the Coral Sea map when it's unlocked, is it a new map or was it in the older games aswell?

Willow Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 Coral was in 1942, it was basically an aircraft map with dogfights and aircraft carrier battles over mostly ocean, it was pretty good fun Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clay Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 Ah right, that doesn't sound too good, was hoping for another big land based map. They were meant to include a dogfight mode i think, one of the developers mentioned it in the video so it makes sense if it's going to be unlocked when the Coral sea challenge is completed.

Adam Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 I tried the trail on my ps3 last night, i'm going to wait for it to come out on PC though. I'm shit at fps on consoles yet i was miles ahead on the leader board. The bombing run thing you can call in on wake island is amazing, though I hope they up the player limit on the pc version as 24 players is a bit small.

Northerngimp Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 How many players does the on line version support? Think i'll get it for the PC. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willow Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 How many players does the on line version support? Think i'll get it for the PC. 24 players on 360 and they're working on increasing / tweaking that for the pc version come Sept. If its great then i may even get the pc version too Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If its great then i may even get the pc version too I love a massive on line ruck. Me too. I remember typhoon rising supported 150 players, that was fun. I hope they optimise 1943 on the pc. There are 64 player servers on bf2 and 2142, so im assuming they would do the same with 1943 as long as they expand the maps. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clay Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 The console versions of the maps are just right at 24 imo.. perhaps 32 at a push. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 PC is a faster pace though, mainly because people can actually aim and shoot with a mouse. The bombing run thing on wake is class, I got 8 japs in one run ! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clay Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 I can aim and shoot with a controller fine, but that's not the point i was reading the console versions of the maps are scaled down a lot from PC maps, wether BF:1943 will be the same on PC as consoles i dunno.

O Neill Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 Actually looks brilliant, still some land to go on if you fancy it The land was completely pointless on 1942. No flags/control points on the map at all. The object was to use the planes to bomb the enemy carrier until it sinks. Either you took a plane or you went on the AA. I believe there may have been some AA on the islands but nothing worth fighting over as the planes can destroy it so quickly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
