Battlefield 1943

Why carnt they just take Desert Combat and update the graphics and your done. Leave the core gameplay and the jet handling! alone , and no more of those terrible lock on missiles etc such as in bf2. The dumb fire missiles in DC were great and made air combat great. But it was also well balanced, 1 shot from a tank shell could take a plane down if the pilot flew too low. Bf2 you hit a heli or plane with a tank shell and it does **** all ?? thats no fun. Also no more of these stupid call in assets, like arty. DC you actually had to get a spotter and aim the howitser or MLRS your self. Much more fun, and so you didnt mind getting killed by it ,where as arty in bf2 is so lame. Why do devs think we want more and more "cool gadgets" and stuff, it just ruins the game. I could go on moaning but I better stop.

Sounds a bit like PR mod where you have to get a SL to call in arty but I find tanks shooting down helis irritating when the view distance is over a kilometer its hard to avoid



I quite like BC on the xbox so I wouldnt mind playing this on pc too and theres more chance of playing the updated engine in a proper game or even letting people mod it like DC or PR
Heroes is chucklevision though
 
I watched a video on this a few months ago. This isn't BF3 at all. The dev said it was more of a side project using a tweaked Bad Company engine to be released as a download only game.

Its merely another "tech demo" as such and for a bit of extra cash on a tried and tested brand.
 
some encouraging news ;-

Patrick started by confirming that all three versions of ’43 (Xbox360, PS3 and PC) will be released this summer. Of course we tried to get as much information regarding the PC-version, but the development of that version is still a bit secret, which resulted in many broad and unspecific answers. Both Patrick and Gustav ensured that the PC-version will not be a bad console-port, but a real and solid PC-version.

The sound-recording session that DICE had with the Swedish military was partly related to BF1943, but DICE do have these sessions regularly to expand their audio-library.

• Punkbuster or similar anti-cheat software will be released for the PC-version. What and how it will work is yet to be seen.
• The patches for BF2 and BF2142 are making progress. We can expect more information and a beta during April.
• The financial crisis has not affected DICE much. They have noticed somewhat of a drop in sales, but no employees have been fired due to the crisis. Mirror's edge sold less than expected.
• There are no plans of releasing a mod or map editing-tool for BF1943.
• At the most, 15 people have been involved in the production of BF1943. In the beginning, there was only Patrick, Gustav and one more guy.
• The units in BF1943 do not look like those in Battlefield Heroes, that misconception might have come from the first cartoonish trailer that was released.
• The maximum amount of players for the PC-version is yet to be decided. There is nothing that says it has to be 24.

I think it was dice that said it was going to be 24 players, but it looks like they have change there might which isnt a bad thing.
 
1943 is just bf1942 using the frostbite engine(destructable environments)...im gonna wait for BF3 and badcompany 2;)
 
I just had a few great sessions of BF1942. I'd reccomend if you have the CDs lying around to just go and re-install it, takes no time! Then 2 patches, also takes no time! And your off! 64 player servers, one's really active. Played Wake, and a few other memorables. Use Nvidia control panel to jack up AA, texture filtering etc. Very fun. I've linked this into my Steam, can just drop in and play.
 
Let's hope they don't mess this up, I want a modern WW2 game like battlefield.
WW2> Moderncombat imo, nothing beats a good ww2 fighter fight in BF1942, rather than the lame guided & heat seeking bull**** in modern combat games. Heat seeking/guided bombs and missiles ruined air combat really :(.

I used to love the air combat in the Battle of Britain map.
 
With a bit of luck someone will be able to create a mod to get rid of the unlimited ammo / regen once the PC version is released :)

Looks good but its a shame its not 64 player for the pc, if this is a stopgap for BF3 then bring it on:) Oh and will people get a grip when it comes to EA they are a company to make money and if they will see an opportunity to make it they will. I hope they do make loads of cash as this will only mean more games for us.
 
I think this game will be good. They just need to be more careful for us none cheating online gamers who want a decent game instead of a BF2 incident of 100 drops floating towards you like it's rainging boxes or jeeps. I'd rather them keep it lower then 64 on wake it's hard enough with the wrong team to get across most of the time and most wake servers play with upto 32 that I seem to go on. Cant wait for something to be released about BF3 I recon they will release no news about it until it's about to be released. It's EA they even fell out with a company (GAME) last year for something stupid I think it was due to them refusing to sell only EA's new releases at £50, EA love there money so they will deprive all the console gamers first and then move onto the PC gamers :D
