It is out next week for XBLA... who is getting it. I'm considering it. It seems like it will have some good legs.

Definitely.

Been playing some ARMA II and controlling the aircrafts are the worst. I don't remember Operation Flashpoint being this bad, but that was ages ago when I could still play games like Street Fighter and Counter-Strike to a decent level.

It would be nice to have something simpler. So I'm really looking forward BF1943.

PS3 version will be better so geeting it on that

Why would you want a PC version of something tailor made for consoles.

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #8 on:** July 02, 2009, 03:13:16 PM »

Everyone cool is getting the Xbox 360 version, right?

Can we start a clan, so we can get that dogfighting map before those punk PS3 owners?

I'm playing Bad Company. I hope this doesn't suck out the player base.

I'm down.

cool breeze · « **Reply #13 on:** July 02, 2009, 05:48:02 PM »

I need to find a cheap deal on XBL points before I can get anything else on XBLA. If there is one, i'll probably get it on 360.

I wish the PC version was out the same day, but I can adapt. The controls in Bad company were a bit too touchy, almost like the acceleration was too high or something.

I just nabbed 1600 points, which should be enough for me to buy Battlefield 1943 and Point Lookout. Only other XBLA titles I will be buying is Monkey Island and Marvel vs Capcom 2.

1200+800=1600?

Willco how legit is gamerbuddy? I'm thinking about ordering 4,000 points from them since it's $20 off.

Another cheap point site... CheapyD approved so it has to be legit

So, we have Battlefield 1943 and Marvel vs Capcom 2 and Turtles in Time and Microsoft hasn't even started Summer of Xbox Live yet?

Eel O'Brian · « **Reply #25 on:** July 04, 2009, 12:03:05 PM »

How long does it take to get the points from these sites?

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #26 on:** July 04, 2009, 12:05:05 PM »

The longest it took from GamerBuddy was two and a half hours. Two other times it was pretty instant.

Just create a US Live profile and buy one of those 4000 points for about £18.

Use the US profile to buy and download what you want, and then you can play those games using your European profile. Just make sure both profiles are tied to the same console.

trh · « **Reply #30 on:** July 04, 2009, 10:09:39 PM »

hummmmmmmmmmm.... if that really works like, almost flawlessly... I'd get 133 points per usd spent rather than 73 points per usd spent given that I'd have bought 4000 american points vs 4200 european points. is there any catch to this?

I have a US account that I have used to buy over 8000 points of content and it all works great with my regular Canadian account. Go for it.

No catch, I've purchased plenty of Japanese content for use on my U.S. account. As long as both accounts are tied to the same Xbox, there's no problem!

trh · « **Reply #33 on:** July 06, 2009, 11:37:54 AM »

Alright I guess I'll try that. Can't purchase anything from GamerBuddy atm though as they're on vacation. Any good alternatives?

edit: forgot about your360connection.com ... although they use paypal, urgh.

edit2: and they're out of stock.

trh · « **Reply #34 on:** July 06, 2009, 02:13:16 PM »

Alright so just to make sure, this works with add-ons as well? I got 4000 points from some ebay ad that I found through CAG, so I dl'ed Worms 2 and everything works just fine. Thinking I should get the Fallout DLC now.

For those looking for points, the ad in question was from this guy: http://shop.ebay.com/merchant/emoryjackie - got my code in less than a minute.

G The Resurrected · « **Reply #35 on:** July 06, 2009, 05:52:02 PM »

I can vouch for the points from that ebay classified. Between the cards I have from circuit city closing down, your360connection, and the ebay peeps I'm set for a long time on xbla.

Both me and the girlfriend are gonna get battlefield come wednesday on 360. If you guys wish to play maybe we should setup a time.

I dont care where these points are coming from as long as I'm able to keep the ones I have already

Eel O'Brian · « **Reply #39 on:** July 06, 2009, 08:06:39 PM »

game modes are just conquest and a separate "air superiority" mode for the coral sea map

you can form four-man squads, though, which is nice

bork · « **Reply #40 on:** July 06, 2009, 08:26:18 PM »

So there's no way to hold private games with just friends? That's what I'm looking for. The squad thing sound great though.

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #41 on:** July 06, 2009, 09:00:05 PM »

The game runs on dedicated servers, which would kind of make private games silly. Just invite your friends and put them in a squad, so you only take to one another.

We'd be wanting to do games where it was one squad of friends versus another, but all friends-only. Not a big deal if you can't do this; I'm buying the game regardless but they might not.

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #43 on:** July 06, 2009, 09:24:00 PM »

This is still feasible, just take over a server with nobody on it and everyone squad up.

dedicated servers even for 360? colour me impressed if so

demi · « **Reply #46 on:** July 07, 2009, 08:55:33 PM »

All EA games run on their own servers...

pilonv1 · « **Reply #47 on:** July 07, 2009, 09:17:26 PM »

i thought they were just authentication servers not actual dedicated servers for playing on

demi · « **Reply #48 on:** July 07, 2009, 09:34:50 PM »

They're something because when they get shut down, you can't play on them anymore.

AdmiralViscen · « **Reply #49 on:** July 07, 2009, 10:32:25 PM »

There is nothing that prevents a developer from doing dedicated servers on XBL.

Kestastrophe · « **Reply #54 on:** July 08, 2009, 09:28:50 AM »

That's not good. I've played 2 games now and they both had considerable lag

. Also, there doesn't seem to be much choice when it comes to matchmaking, and quickmatch doesn't automatically research if no game or connection is made (i.e. "game is not available").

Kestastrophe · « **Reply #55 on:** July 08, 2009, 10:12:46 AM »

I managed to play one game that had almost no lag and it was alot of fun, so apparently that is hit or miss right now. But right after that game, my Xbox froze $:-\$ . Sure am glad that this game spent a month in certification.......wouldn't want to release a buggy mess or anything

Good News, the game is incredibly successful beyond even my expectations. We have reached server capacity, but the bad news about this now some people can't join unless someone leaves. But don't worry, we are adding more servers ASAP to Xbox and in preparation PS3 that should start going up ASAP with priority on Xbox 360.

We have also isolated the issue and improving until we have close to 0 packet loss.

Please keep an eye here for updates.

Good idea. Apparently they're fixing the connection issues, but console freezing is a whole other issue and will most likely not get fixed for a bit. When the game works, its fun $:-\$

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #59 on:** July 08, 2009, 12:31:09 PM »

I have not heard of anyone else's console freezing, it just sounds like you have RROD issues incoming.

I'd wait a day or two for them to fix the issues. I don't think anyone thought an Arcade title would be so slammed.
