Battlefield 1943

The problem is theres quite a few of us who cant play at peak times due to the ports the ps3 version uses are throttled by our isp.

Can't believe how long its taking for PS3 to reach 43 million! Xbox 360 covered the last 5 milllion much quicker

Just another 100,000 to go, although from the comments it looks like Coral Sea is a let down personally I'd like to see a European map pack, there were some excellent maps in 1942. I'd pay a fiver!

I think they should run another 43 mil kill count to get rid of it TBH.

****43 MILLION KILLS FOR PS3 NOW!!!, CORAL SEA UNLOCKED****

Just been on for an hour on PS3 and never saw Coral see.

As for voice comms.

Can I use my Nokia bluetooth headset I use for my mobile phone?

Have tried to set it up before and not sure if it worked well. How do you set it up and have it so sound still comes out of your speakers rather than the BT headset?

Iwo Jima = good times for snipers. I'm not that great but so many people think to snipe from the tops of bunkers, hills etc, silloutetting them against the horizon and making them easy targets.

Piece of advice gents: when you get hit by a sniper, don't slowly spin around looking for him, MOVE!

But you wouldn't know you were being hit by a sniper necessarily. I always have to have a gawp round to check there's no-one behind me at least.

I agree you should try and move but who's to say you won't be running toward the sniper...

SiD the Turtle · 19 Jul 2009 at 11:27

Well a moving target is a lot harder to hit than one standing there gawping

I love owning snipers with strafe shooting using the rifle at ridiculous range

ic1male · 19 Jul 2009 at 11:46

I can't strafe shoot to save my life. My aim slowly goes down so my opponent gets a bullet-ridden crotch and leg.

You'd be surprised how little people check the top of hills, I managed to rack up 17 kills from the highest hill on Guadalcanal with the rifle yesterday. Just fire, kill and then duck in a bush, people underestimate how useful bushes are to hide in.

Same. The hill with the rock at the top overlooking a control point. Can get a ton of kills from there if none of your opposition is smart enough to sneak up behind you or pick you off from a distance. Most spawn at the point below you and try in vain to pop a cap in yo ass.

Not enjoying this Air Superiority much. As there is no air brakes or evasive manoevours I struggle to escape once I am in someone's sights

I start to pull up and then DIVE DIVE DIVE!

If damaged I just head straight for the sea and jump out.

Yes, in Air superiority mode. a 3 second countdown starts when you exit your plane in the air. No way to get back in plane so you lose 10 poimts suicide. Just done it twice!!

Annoying though this doesn't count on the enemy aircraft carrier and unlike the normal maps you don't get zero points for attacking the enemy home base. Sick of playing that map now, spawn and some cheesy fool has camped out on the end of the runway and picks you off as you spawn in

So in Air superiority you get points for base camping?
