And who wants to bet that EA has new DLC already in the can?

I'd bet we'll get three more Pacific island maps for another $15, probably no more than that. They're not going to waste too much time or too many resources creating new assets, so any maps will use what they already have and be really similar to what's already in the game. I was thinking a European expansion map pack would be cool, but I doubt that'll happen now given that they'd have to create new weapons, player models, ground and building textures, etc. More than likely that stuff will show up next year around this time in a separate Battlefield 1944 title (and, knowing EA, it won't interface with BF1943 in any way).

Easy 200, not much lasting power, sorry. Wait until BFBC2
Nah, you're wrong. I finally managed to get into a game and had a fucking blast last night. In fact I'm gonna play a couple of games right now!

I should really add some Boritos to my friends list.

This is a really really stupid question, but how do you use the parachute? I keep falling to my death when I bail from a plane.

"A" on the Xbox 360 version, I'd imagine whatever the PS3 variation of that is.

Coral Sea is cool I guess... sucks ass waiting on a carrier for a plane.

It's awesome flying real low and sneaking onto the enemies carrier then getting in their AA gun and annihilating their planes

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #193 on:** July 14, 2009, 08:28:16 PM »

I was worried when you said that, but you really don't even wait that long - if at all.

It's neat in a kind of online tutorial on how to fly planes, but not very engaging.

i played horribly last night, in one of the games i just gave up towards the end and started fucking around with the planes on the carrier

I was busy breaking it off with the gal pal last night - I will be able to play tonight, though!

I'll be on tonight if anyone wants to get some games going. It looks like Willco is already on too

Eel, Zero, Kestastrophe and I had some good matches tonight before I got booted and Kestastrophe couldn't connect.

Our squad fucking dominated. I had over 500 points in one match.

Eel O'Brian · « **Reply #211 on:** July 15, 2009, 11:37:47 PM »

I laid claim to the #6 spot on our team for several games. NOBODY could take that badge of mediocrity from me!

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #212 on:** July 15, 2009, 11:47:48 PM »

We are, collectively, probably the best squad in all of Xbox Live!

You're like the HEART of our team. I'm Earth, Kestastrophe is Fire, Zero is Wind and that random guy that always joins our public squads is Water.

Brehvolution · « **Reply #213 on:** July 15, 2009, 11:51:25 PM »

Imagine how much better we could have been if I had gotten more than 2 kills each round.

Got 2 achievements though so thanks guys.

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #214 on:** July 15, 2009, 11:54:02 PM »

I think we will be on tomorrow night.

Eel O'Brian · « **Reply #215 on:** July 16, 2009, 12:00:06 AM »

if only EA's squad/invite/server system wasn't so jacked-up, we probably spent a good fifteen minutes tonight just trying to coordinate

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #216 on:** July 16, 2009, 12:50:11 AM »

Kestastrophe · « **Reply #217 on:** July 16, 2009, 07:38:52 AM »

Yup, good matches last night. We definitely have the ~~gayest~~ best squad on Live

Eel O'Brian · « **Reply #218 on:** July 16, 2009, 01:12:01 PM »

It sold many times over what they were expecting it to sell, so I'd say the odds are pretty good. I wouldn't expect any Euopean maps (they'll save that for a 1944 sequel), but I'd guess we'll get a couple more Pacific maps before the year is out.

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #219 on:** July 16, 2009, 01:27:49 PM »

I wonder how much it cost to develop verus profits.

Ganhyun · « **Reply #220 on:** July 16, 2009, 03:45:16 PM »

everyone I know who has this keeps saying its awesome, except for those server issues before. I'm thinking of caving and getting the game.

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #221 on:** July 16, 2009, 03:53:31 PM »

Pretty much. The fact that Eel, Kestrastrophe and myself are willing to put in a good 15 to 30 minutes an evening just to coordinate us into one squad on one server is a testament to how fun this game is.

Brehvolution · « **Reply #222 on:** July 16, 2009, 06:01:45 PM »

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #225 on:** July 16, 2009, 11:59:05 PM »

Good matches, Kestastrophe. And we had a good game with Zero. Unfortunately,the last game where he got booted, we were raped by the opposing team since our team was stocked with morons.

Brehvolution · « **Reply #226 on:** July 17, 2009, 12:05:01 AM »

I didn't get booted. My ISP or modem cut out.

This is a common occurrence during the day according to my wife. It was supposed to be fixed months ago.

Sorry guys. :'(

Eel O'Brian · « **Reply #229 on:** July 17, 2009, 11:39:10 AM »

on another note, i wonder how many companies looked at the crazy first-week sales of BF1943 and have already started planning on updating their classic MP catalogue for XBL and PSN

if serious sam does well, we could be looking at a renaissance of upgraded old-school MP games in downloadable form

Kestastrophe · « **Reply #230 on:** July 17, 2009, 12:44:13 PM »

Don't forget about Perfect Dark and CoD in the pipeline. I would love to see more titles like this, but I hope they do a better job at party management $:-\$

I won't be on tonight or tomorrow night $:-\$

That's okay, because I will likely have a new addition to my squad - my brother. He's better than me at FPS.

I made 3 accounts to play the demo. I really wanna buy this (I turned out to be good at it!), but I'm only going to be in the USA for another 30 days and it feels silly to buy it now. Siiiiiiggghhhh.

Eel O'Brian · « **Reply #234 on:** July 19, 2009, 01:44:44 AM »

i think i'm about done with this, to be honest

after that initial rush wears off, without proper matchmaking it's getting to be more frustrating than fun

you've either got people on your team just fucking off and suiciding all the time on purpose, or you're paired against dudes who are already experts and know every nook and cranny

there's no way to get paired up with people at your own skill level (or lack thereof), you're just tossed into the pit against guys who have already put an entire work week worth of hours into it - and if someone puts over forty hours into a game that's only been out for 11 days then it's like, "Congratulations! You're officially, no doubt about it, a pathetic sack of shit."

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #235 on:** July 19, 2009, 01:57:57 AM »

Is this because I didn't invite you to tonight's squad? Our matches are so much fun - you'd be silly to throw it all away.

... unless you have a BETTER idea?

Eel O'Brian · « **Reply #236 on:** July 19, 2009, 02:27:21 AM »

i had no idea you guys were even playing tonight, i played some force unleashed and hopped into a few matches afterwards

it just honestly isn't much fun going up against a team of people who've played so much the skin of their ass cheeks have started growing into their chairs, like that lady who spent a year on the toilet

i know i'm never going to be very good at the game simply because i'll never even want to invest/waste that amount of my life on it, but it sure would be nice if they'd put some/a little/any matchmaking into it so i could play with people around my own level and feel like i at least have a tiny chance - instead of throwing my hands up in the air and just piloting the boat around the island in circles until the match is over

I just had the best match of my life:
