EA: Battlefield 1943 Servers Being Added “Around the Clock”
Releasing today on the PSN Store is the highly anticipated Battlefield 1943, the newest creation from hailed developer DICE. However, EA and DICE may have underestimated the mass amount of anticipation surrounding their title.
When the Xbox 360 version released yesterday, many players were unable to play online. This was due to the sheer amount of players trying to log on. Don’t fret though, PS3 owners, as EA and DICE are working “around the clock” to add more servers so that your experience is more enjoyable.
“We have full support of EA to add as many servers as takes and then some so that everyone can play. This work has already started and servers will be added around the clock with teams working to cover this 24 hours a day so not a moment is wasted. You will be able to play this game and play it lag free!”
Battlefield 1943 is releasing today for the low price of $15.

I Really can’t understand how they can’t be prepared . If their are 20 million XBOX LIVE Members or PS3 MEMBERS They should assume everyone to be playing and having capacity for all active members always. in fact if I had billions of dollars like EA/DICE I would make sure there was enough server space for double the amount of ppl on xbox and ps3 currently.
meaning if 20 million people wanted to play BF1943 servers would be able to handle twice that amount.

I dont get how they have the 43milling kill community challenge but gave the game to xbox first, when I checked at 1 am last night they already had just under 4 million kills. Its going to be finished before PS3 even gets it tonight. Thats a pretty weak move dice

PSN updates games on thursdays, what does that 2 do with dice?

@Sam1966:
But your not at EA so they do things on an as needed basis to save money. It seems that Sony might follow the same principle, just look at the majority of the Online launches this past year beginning with MGS4 etc.

@The Queef Sisters
The challenge doesn’t start until the 10th. If you start the game (or trial game) up on Xbox Live, the ticker on the main screen reads “The Coral Sea competition will start on July 10th.”
Obviously, they wouldn’t give anybody an unfair advantage.
Can’t wait for the US update!

July 9th, 2009 at 9:21 PM

It is supposed to look animated.Everytime a new battlefield game is out is a good day.Just don’t expect help from tech support.I am most excited about battlefield bad company 2.Even more than modern warfare 2 and red faction 3.
