[Multiplatform] Battlefield 1943, a.k.a. Maybe it actually works now, awesome.

Having a fucking blast with this game. Starting to get the hang of sniping. I'm still goddamn terrible with the tanks, but other than that I'm consisently placing in the top few slots. Shin's right, the sheer hugeness of the player base means you're playing with a large majority of people who are fucking terrible, which is awesome for us. Most games each team has 3-5 players that are responsible for 90% of the work of their teams.

Haven't hit any freezes or lag issues at all since I picked it up last Tuesday. That day we had squad split-up issues 3 times, but not once since then.

Until this and "my squad" is made consistent, BF 1943 can suck my huge e-dick.

I agree you should be able to start a game with more than 4 people (you can only go in as a single squad, right?), but I don't seem them ever making full-on private games. Unless you actually had 2 full teams I don't see the maps really working, it's already borderline too few people as is with 24 players. The game seems to be geared much more towards pick up and play style. Weird that you're still having Squad split-up issues. I haven't had it happen since last Tuesday, and it doesn't seem to be happening at all with the other people I play with either. So I don't know if we're just lucky, you're unlucky, or if they actually did specifically address that.

Personally my on real gripe (and I'm new to Battlefield so maybe this is old news) but spawning is super fucked up. If you spawn in at a base that the other team is currently trying to capture, it's a hilarious chain of either you spawning right behind them, or right in front of them. It's hilarious and awesome when you're spawn killing people as you're taking a base, but it sucks when you're trying to spawn at your base and you get knifed in the back instantly.

Also it's completely bullshit if you own the base that has the Air Raid a single dude from the other team can run in and set it off; only the team who owns the base should be able to call it

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I actually had a really long post regarding your review where I agreed and disagreed on several points, but I decided it went on too long and I like you too much to post some of my comments on some of your opinions. In general I think a lot of the gameplay and other things they've done were done specifically to cater to a casual arcade pick up and play experience, for better or worse.

I honestly do feel I have to call out one thing specifically thought that really bothered me on your whole review; I find it sort of hilarious and odd that you slam it repeatedly for lag and connection issues when you haven't played the game in the last 10 days of the 18 since release. I don't doubt you had a bad run with the game, but I play the game mostly with people from Europe and specifically asked them about this today, and none of them have had the slightest issues with lag or connecting whatsoever since a few days after the game came out. And this is while I was in a game with them and there's a guy from Japan, 2 people in the UK, 1 person in Ireland, 1 person from the Netherlands, and another from somewhere else in Europe I don't know about. And I honestly just spent time looking at multiple message boards, and except for one or two people who seem to be having issues with connecting to EA Online (which is the problem I was having day 1), just no one seems to be having these issues at all the last week or two. I mean, maybe it's possible you could log on today and still somehow have the same problems, but it strikes me as odd you put out a review complaining heavily about online issues at launch with an online-only game, but haven't played it anytime recently. Unless you have another account or something?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

You were going on about some crazy shit that made no sense and that X14 kept killing you.

How ya doing, buddy?

And theres a TON of cheap sniping. I think X14 was camping on a hill by one of the flags and kept taking me out.

You realize this is awesome because you apparently don't remember that we actually figured out that you were committing suicide, and "X14" killing you was actually the Suicide -10 popping on your screen, and you were totally misreading it.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Looks more like boat spooning to me.

I was speaking idiomatically.

You know how I do son.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

If I had a dollar for every presentation or flowchart I was in, I'd be a rich man.

FELIPE NO
