Is it though? Agnes is the first person I've seen mention it and I can see no mention of it on the BF 1943 forums.

Seen 4 that have the issue, 6 if you include myself and agnes.

They need to sort the 360 version out, been trying to play with a mate most of the day and while we got some games we experienced crashing of the game completely/mate kept losing connection and now and again you get randomy graphical glitches after driving the boat. It's all been reported by various users, so I hope they patch it. Really enjoying it when it works!

Glad to see you are also getting the graphic mess ups Spikey.. I thought it might of been the GPU in my 360 starting to pack up. I had some crazy black lines all over the place earlier when I looked behind me.

Just had a game with a huge black artifact coming all the way from a carrier, like a large black pole going across the whole game. Only time ive seen it though....couple of other people saw it too.

Ok two of those were after you posted but still, it is an issue that people are experiencing on the 360, i got weird black squares in training mode.

man im poo at this game! First FPS I've ever played on a console, think its gonna take some getting used to the controller!
I've stuck the sensitivity on 1 notch above the bottom as I keep flicking the left stick and I can't hit people!

Played the trial just now after only hearing about the game last night

A very good first impression from me. I actually managed to kill some people, take down a few vehicles and capture some points, unlike with most other console shooters.

I really like the clean aethsthetics too - much easier on my eyes!

Yeah loads of PS3 user are having problem.... Honestly you should have bought a 360 TBH

j/k I expect it will be sorted very shortly, loads of people going nuts already on the EA forums.

I do own a 360, but prefer the Ps3, like the gamepad better.

Any joy yet?

So what class does everyone like best then? For me, planes and sniper are a definite no-no. I choose Rifleman or Infantry but more Rifleman as his weapon is better than that crapola semi-automatic contraption.

Apopcalyptic · 10 Jul 2009 at 16:54

Rifleman is excellent. I'm really liking the planes too, particularly after being terrible with them in BF2!

If I had to pick I'd go for Rifleman....but I love infantry for camping and rushing and sniping for a change up.

The SMG are great IMO. COD made them very overpowered and its nice that they are only really good close up in this. If you can get some head shots in at close to medium range people still go down quick.

I enjoy sniper on 2 maps, not on Wake island though. Rather enjoy laying charges and baiting tanks into coming onto them, boom

Also enjoy running up behind takes and laying charges on them, waiting until they turn to look at me, then blowing them up

Gotta love the rocket launcher on the infantry class too though, managed to take out a jeep with 3 people in it, going full pelt

The few games I had during my 30 minute trial were fine, no noticable lag for me. The only problem I've had was trying to get in a server on release day, was fine yesterday.

ic1male · 10 Jul 2009 at 17:14

Lag definitely seems to have gone. Takes about 3-4 attempts to join a game now so it's getting better but not quite perfect.

I had problems for 5minutes trying to connect to server, since then nothing but net! No problems with lag or anything since

Cheers, will give the demo a go today then

Windle · 10 Jul 2009 at 17:45

Seems to be working fine now. Lots of nubs flying around in planes, like shooting ducks in water

My only gripe is team-mates not taking out AA stations when I'm getting seven shades of **** shot out of me on the ground. Oh and PS, pilots you can shoot down the bombing run planes easily. Easy points too.

Kreeeee · 10 Jul 2009 at 18:24

Worked fine online and a lot more accurate aiming than BFBC, so may look to purchase once it goes down in price

danielanthony · 10 Jul 2009 at 18:27

I've played the demo on both the 360 and PS3 now, no graphical problems on either console that I've found.

Great fun, but not as good as the PC Battlefield games which were more in depth

Were you guys able to fly using the default contoller setup? I played around last night on the training game and still couldn't get it to work like I want it too
