Battlefield 1943

I would really love this to be a good adaption of bf1942 without the lag and inconsistencies of bad company. So far it does look promising but i doubt it will be a first day purchase.

Can I ask where you got that date from, on the EA forums they are saying early July with no actual release date from Dice.

See one of the previews / interviews with Dice on XBL said the 23rd June for release and it looks like that's since been removed. Couldn't find it anywhere when I last looked.

I'm quite excited about it and would appreciate a concrete release date. I've got my MS points ready and everything :(
 
When is the trial released? I'm suprised more fuss hasn't been caused about this game, Battlefield was fantastic on the PC.

Its creating quite a lot of buzz on other large websites. Trail released at the same time as game....probably within the week...maybe.
 
Game looks fantastic to be honest but even in the Giant Bomb quick look there was lag which was something Bad Company used to suffer from immensely. Hope it wont be the same for the release of this game too...

So there isnt a set release date yet is there?
 
Not yet, but it should appear sometime next month. I'm betting a week on Wednesday because Worms 2 is out this Weds.

Having said that, I remember the last time I was really anticipating the release of a game on XBLA - SWOS. It took months of certification and all manner of balls-ups before it finally got released. Hopefully this one won't go the same way :p

I noticed the lag on the giantbomb video aswell- I was hoping it was maybe just my connection screwing up but it looked exactly like the lag from bad company.

Hmmm. Might it have something to do with the server not coping with destructable environments?

Well the lag in the bad company beta and demo was really bad and in the first week of the games launch it was also pretty bad - but in the end they fixed it.

Its just leading me to think they'll end up releasing this game and for the first few weeks it'll get dead laggy again.

But I remember DICE posting an announcement saying they were adding more servers for the beta because their servers were getting overloaded - so you might be right :)
 
The lag in the giantbomb video was because they were in West Coast USA and the servers were in Sweden (for a one-off special press event).

That's not to say if there's lots of demand on the games release players won't get routed to far away servers where lag is an issue. Happens in Bad Company more than I'd care to mention.
 
Yeah its definitely 1200 points - which is a fair price in my opinion.

I'll be buying this the day it comes out too (if I have internet :()

I really cant see 43 million global kills being reached for atleast a year though myself - and I wonder if there is an achievement linked to that coral sea map unlocking...

EDIT: Found 30 minutes of gameplay http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/1702640 - Warning the guy playing does swear a tiny bit.
