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

I was a huge fan of 1942 when it first came out, and I'm interested to see what this ends up as. However, the fact that its an "edited" edition makes me a little warry. I'll wait for reviews from friends before taking the plunge.

Or just, you know, downloading the demo if there is one.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I started downloading the demo and had a serious problem connecting to XBL last night. It would connect for 2 minutes and then drop out. I had to unplug the unit and the router for about two hours before the connection was stable again.

I hope this is as good as I remember...

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Soooooooooo... I guess Ill be sticking with Left 4 Dead, huh?

I'm sure people have complained about the issues on forums and probably to EA its self - but has there been any offical word from them about this garbage?

How ya doing, buddy?

At this point, it seems it would be easier for them to fix the problems, delete the current version and put up something entirely "new". There seems to be far too many "basic" problems for a patch or two to fix.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Which is again the reason they'd need something new and not just something patched.

Without getting too nerdy on me - does anyone know if the server issues are in the way the game talks to the servers via bad programming or the servers themselves or what? At this point, Superman Returns has fewer bugs and more fun in it.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Drop it like its hot.

I was singing the theme from St Elmo's Fire for some reason.

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.

Well, spawn camping is always bullshit - but there was a couple of times where something insane would happen. Like I was hiding in a bunker with Daravon (who ran out and got himself killed) and I just kept lobbing grenades out the door to keep whoever it was at bay and it was like they shot me from around the corner and up a hill. Totally what the fuck.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Well, the text in this game is seriously fucking tiny.

Also, yeah, I killed myself a couple of times, but even you pointed out that there was a lot of absolute bullshit going on.

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

Don't ever doubt my sky-controlling powers again, man. I owned that hill and that sky and the goddamned plane and the bullets that riddled my body but did not kill me.

Why? Because I control that shit and I'm all up in that mutherfucker and the rest of you gotta pay tithe to my being all things awesome.

(Context: I think we were playing the Iwo Jima map and I was running up the side of a mountain to get to a better vantage point against a tank in the distance. Goodhand/Kyndig was already up there - but as I got closer, he started taking fire from an airplane. He says he wasn't killed but he did disappear from my view, at least - where upon the plane turned its guns on me for a good four seconds straight and I took every shot and kept running like Steve Prefontaine and made it to the hilltop, proclaiming THAT I CONTROL THE SKY.)

I agree with this - but mostly because the goddamned text in this game is so fucking small. I'm getting extra points for assisstance or rifle efficiency and I can only barely make it out half the time.

Still haven't gotten use to sniping. It seems to be something I can do with great skill on PC and can barely do on a console. The thing that really throws me off is the "fade to black" effect when you're putting another bullet into the breach. I have nothing against bolt action rifles - I use to be incredibly good with the Karabiner 98k in Day Of Defeat, to the point where the sniper rifle in that game sucked because all I needed was iron sights - but the whole one second pause between looking and then loading is really tough to deal with.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

And heres the thing. In the couple days I've had the game, I've turned into a pretty deadly shot with the rifle-fired grenade. I'm hitting targets WAY off in the distance - we're talking almos a quarter away across the map. I'd probably be even more effective if I wasn't constantly taking sniper fire from bunkers (which leads me to mention - why the fuck can't you go prone in this? That drives me nuts!)

I get that theres lag and that theres lead time for firing (duh, AA Turrets alone) but for some reason I can get crazy assisstance bonuses with a regular rifle but can't hit a tank if its parked in front of me with a sniper rifle.
