Fell asleep last night waiting for it to be released.Wednesday, July 08, 2009 @ 12:14 PM
OMG I AM SO FUCKING PISSED! I DONT HAVE ANY MONEY!Wednesday, July 08, 2009 @ 12:16 PM
I played a few matches on the demo then bought the full version and I can't even play one!Wednesday, July 08, 2009 @ 12:18 PM
I could get some games but the controls aren't good but apart from that i love it.Wednesday, July 08, 2009 @ 12:19 PM
same here. just downloaded the full game 6pm uk time, and still i cant get in a game. c'mon DICE, im dribling with excitment.Wednesday, July 08, 2009 @ 12:19 PM
oooh ahhWednesday, July 08, 2009 @ 12:28 PM
Can't get a game still. Been trying since half 4Wednesday, July 08, 2009 @ 12:25 PM
i played some games this morning =) (before you could download it from the dashboard ^^,) ( i downloaded it from www.xbox.com marketplace =3) but when i came back from the shop, i couldn't find any matches! *sad face*Wednesday, July 08, 2009 @ 12:29 PM
I guess it's good I didn't download it on launch day!Wednesday, July 08, 2009 @ 12:35 PM
Gotta admit it; the best original XBLA game.Wednesday, July 08, 2009 @ 12:35 PM
This seems to happen alot with the Battlefield series. I can't remember any of the Battlefield games working properly (without lag or other critical, game-breaking bugs) on launch day ever...Wednesday, July 08, 2009 @ 12:37 PM
Need to try a demo, but I was never too fond of Battlefield..still I'll give it a shot.Wednesday, July 08, 2009 @ 12:33 PM
sweet i'll dl this right nowWednesday, July 08, 2009 @ 12:39 PM
Alot of publicity. Alot of hype. Alot of people waiting this game. OH ! ''We need to make new servers'' Are you kidding me ? YOU DIDN'T know that a THOUSAND of peoples will buy your game ....Congratz EA again.Wednesday, July 08, 2009 @ 12:46 PM
still not addressed the problems, im annoyedWednesday, July 08, 2009 @ 12:46 PM
Man, I bet this game would be awesome and worth my 15 bucks, IF I COULD FUCKING PLAY IT!!!!!!!! Bravo EA/DICE.Wednesday, July 08, 2009 @ 12:47 PM
I Tried to join a game since I bought it but nope.I CAN'T JOIN A GAME!!Wednesday, July 08, 2009 @ 12:23 PM
It works perfectly for me and It's Awesome :)Wednesday, July 08, 2009 @ 01:01 PM
It's going to take time, but DICE is one of my favorite developers because they're very loyal to their fanbase and actually deliver. Bad Company had free DLC and they even updated the servers when I thought they were fine to begin with. I need to buy this but in the mean time I'll have to wait.Wednesday, July 08, 2009 @ 01:04 PM
Can't join in a game. At least DICE is consistent with their buggy software, poor control schemes (I played the tutorial), and botched server services. I got what I paid for.Wednesday, July 08, 2009 @ 01:07 PM
#17 You hit the nail on the head. Any of us that have played this series knows what to expect out of it in the first few weeks/months.Wednesday, July 08, 2009 @ 01:11 PM
was a great game to play! but as servers are down its worth the wait to get back on the battlefield! even tho my ass is handed to me! lolWednesday, July 08, 2009 @ 01:20 PM
i downloaded the trial and i cant find a game :(Wednesday, July 08, 2009 @ 01:25 PM
Online Game that are not Playable Online ... DICE u Suck ... bastards -.-Wednesday, July 08, 2009 @ 01:34 PM
Yeah dice dudes were fucking stupid....They knew it was going to be like this and they are just now adding servers...Assholes -.-'' I spent 1200 msp on a game i cant play! How cool is that?Wednesday, July 08, 2009 @ 01:35 PM
i played this morning 2 matches put me against japanese people and all i did was lag :(Wednesday, July 08, 2009 @ 01:38 PM
Looks like it was taken off Xbox Live for now. Just checked for it to get the demo and it's not even listedWednesday, July 08, 2009 @ 01:42 PM
I was playing it today and its the bombWednesday, July 08, 2009 @ 01:44 PM
I WRANTS MRAH BRATTLEFIELD!!!!! they best fix it soon. i reeeaaally wanna play itWednesday, July 08, 2009 @ 01:47 PM
I can't join a game at all :(Wednesday, July 08, 2009 @ 01:51 PM
downloaded it bought it havent been able to touch t or see it cause too busy with work damn you jobsWednesday, July 08, 2009 @ 01:54 PM
im glad im getting it for the ps3 instead tomorrow hopefully the servers will be playableWednesday, July 08, 2009 @ 02:16 PM
I've been playing the tutorial for 4 hours now, and I can say there is a lot of bugs that need to be fixed but other then that this is the best 1200 points I've spent on a arcade game.Wednesday, July 08, 2009 @ 02:19 PM
downloading it now, hopefully won't have connection problems like described above!Wednesday, July 08, 2009 @ 02:29 PM
WTF 1200 MP have to get it tomorrowWednesday, July 08, 2009 @ 02:37 PM
I thought it came out on thursday? Oh well now i NEED them today =PWednesday, July 08, 2009 @ 02:41 PM
i with the online was working...Wednesday, July 08, 2009 @ 02:41 PM
i wish the online was working...Wednesday, July 08, 2009 @ 02:43 PM
A new online game not working on the first day? This is more like a rule then a exception.Wednesday, July 08, 2009 @ 02:43 PM
This game is awesome. I played a few games in the morning, but I haven't been able to find a game ever since... I really hate having to blame developers sometimes, but this they deserve it. How can they not know that a lot of ppl would buy this game?!?!Wednesday, July 08, 2009 @ 02:49 PM
i find it hilarious that your all so surprised, its like people forget that most games have their issues and then bitch about it like its never happened before. either way im not buying it till the community gets close to 43 mill kills.Wednesday, July 08, 2009 @ 02:58 PM
I dont know why all the video game journalsim websites keep saying it is only in Europe. U.S. cant play either.Wednesday, July 08, 2009 @ 02:59 PM
I'm glad they adressed the problem was addressed so quickly, but they should have been prepared.Wednesday, July 08, 2009 @ 03:01 PM
Yeah I still can't even connect to EA's online apparently... can't even trial the game! :(Wednesday, July 08, 2009 @ 02:56 PM
It really is a fantastic game. They just need to add servers and FIX THE PRIVATE MATCHES. hahaha. If I want to goof around with a couple of my friends, I want to do so. Especially if the game promotes, "Players: 2-24". *sigh* Maybe one day, but for now, Private matches need to be at least 16 people, apparently.Wednesday, July 08, 2009 @ 03:08 PM
Why is it 5 bucks cheaper on ps3?Wednesday, July 08, 2009 @ 03:08 PM
I think it was just them trying to be humble and not assume that so many'd buy their game. I just got a chance to play the tutorial and I even liked that! Game seems to play great. Can't wait for the experience!Wednesday, July 08, 2009 @ 03:21 PM
@52, I believe that says Euros and not US dollars. Anyways, I just played this game and I CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S NOT BUTTER!!......I mean, I CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S NOT A RETAIL GAME!!Wednesday, July 08, 2009 @ 03:37 PM
Um luckly i didnt buy this game, I downloaded the trial because I wanted to make sure I liked it before paying a high price for an arcade, luckly i didnt buy this game, I was really hyped up for this game and well its not as good as everybody hoped for, not the best as they were saying but ill give it a 6/10Wednesday, July 08, 2009 @ 03:52 PM
@i got squeezed its a great value for 15 bucks! damn good game once they get the servers in orderWednesday, July 08, 2009 @ 03:54 PM
Amazing once you get into a smooth game - gonna be a great once the issues are sorted.Wednesday, July 08, 2009 @ 04:00 PM
#55 I know its a good game, its just like Bad Company but thats my opinion and thats what I think of the game. Its worth like 10 bucks but i could buy but i really dont want to.Wednesday, July 08, 2009 @ 04:13 PM
Been working fine for me the last 3 - 4 hours, great little gameWednesday, July 08, 2009 @ 04:41 PM
you gotta love sitting in the stand by screen, thats what i see most of the time cause i cant get one game in, thank f*** there's a tutorial and its pretty much free roamWednesday, July 08, 2009 @ 04:53 PM
i just practice flying the planes in tutorialWednesday, July 08, 2009 @ 04:52 PM
i didnt get on a server till 7pm!!!! Im in the UK but i know in all that time alot of my US friends only managed to get 2 or 3 games. Complete JOKE! Wont ever be buying a game without trying the trial first. If their adding servers on day one, they better add tones more across the next few days. Can we have a game that also NON laggy in the UK?!Wednesday, July 08, 2009 @ 04:52 PM
i can finally use my god damn e3 redemtion codeWednesday, July 08, 2009 @ 05:01 PM
I suck at flying the plane. Gutted will have to wait until after work to play it. This is why I don't buy launch games.Wednesday, July 08, 2009 @ 05:09 PM
When i played my first match I got a boner...Wednesday, July 08, 2009 @ 05:17 PM
Despite the problems, I had a chance to play this on Trial earlier in the day and, I will admit, it was fantastic! Felt like 1942 on the PC and it was great fun!Wednesday, July 08, 2009 @ 05:26 PM
managed toplay lots of maatches, one of the best arcade titlesWednesday, July 08, 2009 @ 05:33 PM
Hurry up! The more games we play the faster the world will unlock the fourth map!Wednesday, July 08, 2009 @ 05:52 PM
Yeah great logic with the 30 minute trial time. Now i have nobody to play against. I played 11 minutes earlier and it was unplayable. So now i have come back to finish off my last 19 minutes in what i had hoped to be a non-laggy game. But seeing as i am guessing all my would-be-opponents have probably finished with their 30 minute trial and are now in the full game, i can't even get into a single game! Well fucking done EA. I don't care if you didn't expect so many people to download it blah blah blah LIES. Even if this game gets fixed it isn't having any of my points spent on it. Oh yeah and by the way i was experiencing many glitches earlier like falling through gaps in the map. Fuck this game, i will stick to Bad Company. Hell, i payed less for Bad Company than i would for this anyway!Wednesday, July 08, 2009 @ 05:53 PM
ive been trying to join for the past 30 min. what a waste...of time AND moneyWednesday, July 08, 2009 @ 06:01 PM
What did people expect when EA is part of this? Everyone knows EA can't do online games without problems and do they care? Nope, never have.Wednesday, July 08, 2009 @ 06:52 PM
Looks like it's a good thing I forgot about this. I will DEF get it but not til after I will be able to play it smoothlyWednesday, July 08, 2009 @ 07:28 PM
IF anyone wants to PLAY we're starting a private match, MESSAGE ME AT Gamertag: whylekatWednesday, July 08, 2009 @ 07:28 PM
Not bad for an arcade game.Wednesday, July 08, 2009 @ 07:45 PM
The tutorial was awesome! Cant wait to play with everyoneWednesday, July 08, 2009 @ 08:00 PM
Idiots, please read the damn news before posting. On top of that DICE is a very good company who unlike EPIC, responded quickly to the issues that showed up. Also the control scheme is simple, if you don't get it you're an idiot.Wednesday, July 08, 2009 @ 08:02 PM
Getting into a game is still a serious problem. But once you find one it is awesome. I'm gonna buy this tomorrow, hopefully things will be running smoother by then.Wednesday, July 08, 2009 @ 08:11 PM
It won't let me join a game =(Wednesday, July 08, 2009 @ 08:28 PM
I am in canada. I HAVE HAD THE GAME FOR A FULL DAY AND I DIDIN'GET TO PLAY UNE FKING GAME. CAN'T FKING JOIN ANY FKING GAMES!!! :( I'm pissed. Fk DICE make your fking games work damn itWednesday, July 08, 2009 @ 08:44 PM
DAM IT! FCK YOU DICE! FCK YOU EA! I SHOULD KNOW THAT YOUR GAMES DON'T WORK! I'M JUST ABOUT TO STOP BUYING YOUR GAMES BECAUSE YOU GUYS SUCK! I'VE BEEN WAITING FOREVER FOR THIS GAME, WENT OUT AND BOUGHT MICROSOFT POINTS LAST NIGHT AND THIS IS WHAT I GET? A GAME I CAN'T PLAY? YEAH. I GOT MY MONEYS WORRTH! GET YOUR BUTTS UP AND LEARN HOW TO GIVE US WHAT WE WANT. SCREW YOURSELVES. I WANT TO PLAY THIS GAME, AND I'M HIGHLY PISSED. STOP CARING ABOUT ONLY YOURSELVES. FCK. FCK. FCK. FCK. FCK. FCK. FCK. FCK. FCK. EA AND DICE.Wednesday, July 08, 2009 @ 08:41 PM

URGH! I just want to play one game, if anyone wants to play one, hit me up. ~~~Biolegendary is the gamertag.Wednesday, July 08, 2009 @ 08:52 PM
@79 angry much?Wednesday, July 08, 2009 @ 08:54 PM
They better give us something free for this...lets say another FREE (IF THEY KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS) weapon or another map and hopefully some downloadable content with achievements...or get some of our microsoft points back or a free arcade by them. To make up for this complete bullcrap.Wednesday, July 08, 2009 @ 08:56 PM
meant @80Wednesday, July 08, 2009 @ 09:02 PM
Yes I am ANGRY, Renegade.Wednesday, July 08, 2009 @ 09:01 PM
#83 Why would they reward us for a screw-up on their part? I mean, I'd love some nice stuff as much as the next guy but there're plenty of other games that've had game-breaking problems in the past but none seem to get the attention that 1943 is getting...Wednesday, July 08, 2009 @ 09:05 PM
Some of you need to have patience, this is only the first day of release. They are aware of the problems and are sorting them out. I agree that this is unacceptable as they should have been prepared for this, if you are gonna blame anyone, blame E.A as they provide the servers, If you find a proper working game soon, you will see that this game is very good. They will fix this and you will get what you paid for.Wednesday, July 08, 2009 @ 09:18 PM
The game is great fun however online issues wasn't my problem mines was it made my xbox 360 freeze :-( more than once.Wednesday, July 08, 2009 @ 12:20 PM
this game is awesome, i have played it for quite a few hours already, its so fun think of bf1942 (for those classic pc gamers out there) and update its graphics and engine to Bad Company Stats. there ya go. gaming winWednesday, July 08, 2009 @ 09:28 PM
Got it when it came out and got in a game, and got all achieves but 2, and then i left came back and couldnt join, but its an awsome arcade and am gonna play the hell out of it.Wednesday, July 08, 2009 @ 09:40 PM
I was going to buy it until I remembered it's an EA game... Toodles.Wednesday, July 08, 2009 @ 10:01 PM
This is typical EA fashion. FIFA 09 Ultimate Team was broken like this the day that was released, not to mention the previous Battlefield installments. I know it'll never happen but quite frankly...EA owe me money!Thursday, July 09, 2009 @ 12:10 AM
I am going to get this game!Thursday, July 09, 2009 @ 12:54 AM
the most ms points i have spent in one go to find i cant even play it...pissed dont even cover it!!!Thursday, July 09, 2009 @ 01:22 AM
damn cant wait to grab this game didnt know when the release date was thought it was another week till it droppedThursday, July 09, 2009 @ 02:13 AM
il get the game when it has been fixedThursday, July 09, 2009 @ 02:17 AM
I stayed up late for this and it didnt even work right away...now it seems to be okay...Thursday, July 09, 2009 @ 03:22 AM
Couldn't get on any matches this morning, but I tried later on after midnight and got into a few games fun as hell online. Might even be better then Bad Company, in my opinion.Thursday, July 09, 2009 @ 03:32 AM
1200 points = $15 This game is very fun, I was actually able to get in some matches earlier. Right now the servers are completely off so most likely they are adding on more servers. CANT WAIT!!!Thursday, July 09, 2009 @ 05:11 AM
was going to buy it today but 360 broke last week :( was really looking forward to it. hopefully it will be all better when i get my a new 360!Thursday, July 09, 2009 @ 05:18 AM
Servers were meant to be updated by now and still nothing. EA are fucking useless.Thursday, July 09, 2009 @ 05:22 AM
Yeah I had problems too. Downloaded the demo and tried to connect but nothing. So will have to try again later.Thursday, July 09, 2009 @ 06:43 AM
any1 no if they've sorted it yetThursday, July 09, 2009 @ 06:55 AM
HAHA EA and MS are getting desperate now, they've changed the price on xbox.com to 90,000 MS points so noone else buys it. BAstards.Thursday, July 09, 2009 @ 08:43 AM
@104 Did they really? I just checked and it's 1200...Thursday, July 09, 2009 @ 10:33 AM
A poor man's Call of Duty 3 on large pacific maps.Thursday, July 09, 2009 @ 12:07 PM
@104/105 Quote from OfficialBF1943 Twitter... "If you are logged in and a Gold Xbox Live member the 90,000 MS points will not appear."
Wednesday, July 08, 2009
Guess what? The highly anticipated Battlefield 1943 was released on the Xbox Live Arcade today. I bet you didn't know that, right? Well, apparently everyone knew, and a hell of a lot of people bought it, which ultimately meant the launch didn't go as smooth as DICE and EA had probably hoped for.
This morning the download only title was plagued with packet loss across Europe causing supreme lag, and now the demand has meant that DICE have had to install more servers to cope with the sheer numbers, which hopefully should be all sorted by now. The good news is that they are at least trying to address it and knowing DICE, all should be well and good in the not too distant future.
In the meantime, check out the newly released launch trailer to kill a few minutes.
