Goafer Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 Is it just me, or does it look a lot like a basic version or Warhawk, just set in 1943? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cookyman Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 I'm loving this game - flying planes is awesome once you get a hang on the controls. It's so satisfying dogfighting or kamikaze smashing into other planes. Got 80% of trophies already just need the 30 and 100 match ones now. Would be brill if all PS3 players could meet up tonight - how does 2100hrs grab you lot? (christ I'm using military times - must be my old army days kicking in lol).

Kurtle Squad Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 The game seems alright. Less frustrating in many ways compared to Bad Company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dyson Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 I personally thought it was a little bit wank actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dyson Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 I played the trial version and just didn't like it, and yes I've played and enjoyed Battlefield games in the past. Just thought that this was extremely weak in comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cookyman Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 MATtheHAT reporting for duty at 2100hrs SIR!

dwarf Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 My Jabra is fucked btw, left it to charge for the last two days and it is still has an orange LED signal so that's not going to work. I think it's because it just won't charge anymore, there's no life signs when I plug it in. I can occasionally here Cookster without the headset though. And fair enough Dyson if it's not your thing. I think the simplicity and the general action is great. However I think it would benefit from having more players online, 32 would've made it that little bit better. As it is there aren't really enough players because there are 5 bases which means 3 people or less per flag and generally people wander off on a crusade to the other side to capture a base thus leaving their own bases vulnerable to just one man that has snuck around.

Dyson Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 I just don't think it translates well to consoles actually. Battlefield is a peculiar series, it just doesn't seem to fit on consoles. Bad Company was pretty good but still felt off. I'll probably continue to buy it on the PC but I think I'll stay away from it on consoles. It's strange because I'm not a stranger to console FPS' anymore - CoD4/Halo 3/GoW2 etcetera do the opposite to 1943 and seem to work very well on consoles. Very odd.

dwarf Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 Do the opposite? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dyson Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 Yeah; they work on consoles but I couldn't imagine playing them with a mouse and keyboard. The game would be totally different and wouldn't have the same feel. I know this is true for CoD4 because I started off playing it on the PC before moving to the 360 version which I prefer. Battlefield seems to be the other way round. It works perfectly with the mouse and keyboard but doesn't translate well to the consoles in my opinion.

Now mic How well could you hear me when I was trying to use the other day...it only stays charged for half an hour if that....

You and me are equally bad :p Don't know why I don't like this game so much... maybe because my tv's so small I barely see my foes and thus suck at it :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MATtheHAT Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 Do you have to push a button to speak with the mic? I can't hear Cooky's dulcit tones nor can he hear me. Anyway, this game is very good, only another 42 million before 'Coral Sea' gets unlocked *sigh* And I love how my two favourite games are instantly playable, Blazblue on disc, and this on the HDD. I don't even have to get off the sofa to switch between the two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ViPeR Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 Have been caining this on 360 since its release. Really loving it and it hasn't got boring yet. Though I just read on a website that they're resetting everyone's ranks and awards. I will be pretty pissed if they do as half the stuff I got as a fluke.

Battlefield seems to be the other way round. It works perfectly with the mouse and keyboard but doesn't translate well to the consoles in my opinion. I agree though 1943 is very different. Heck Bad Company is alot better and thats on sale making much better value for money. The maps here are afew and the same. The guns, vehicles and weapons are uninteresting. Same old WW2 rubbish. The gameplay is boring compared to other BF. The usual BF flaws are gapingly huge here. Why bother when I can pop in BF2, 2142 or Bad Company and enjoy those more. This game needs to pick up fast. The classes being put into 3 fixed classes is nonsense. 24 players makes the game feel empty. Right now i feel like i could have spent £9.99 on some Iphone apps instead.
