Gamers Love Battlefield 1943

Gamers really love the newly-released Battlefield 1943. A recent blog post on the official EA forums is a testament to that.

DICE’s Gordon Van Dyke announced via the forums that for both the PS3 and Xbox 360, 5 million kills were registered in the first day. This is a jaw-dropping statistic, no doubt. However, in the Coral Sea challenge, PS3 owners have registered only half of the kills that 360 owners have gotten. Consequently, 360 owners will probably be getting the free Coral Sea map this week, while PS3 owners get nothing.

    this game is a lot of fun, strangely addicting, favorite moments so far:
    hiding dynamite at a flag, recklessly driving a car full of explosives, kamikaze
    it’s nice having it on the HD too, a few clicks and it’s show time.

    I think warhawk is funner. I like how the planes handle in warhawk, and I think the control scheme for battlefied is retarded. why can’t i drive forward in a tank by pushing up on the analog stick? why do i have to push L1?

    Errr, you CAN drive forward in a tank by pushing up on the analog stick! Just pay a visit to the control settings and select ‘Stick drive’.

    @Trexman:
    Yeah the control scheme is funky. If it were not for the controls I would have liked it. Warhawk still butchers this game though. (imo)

    I played it I do admit its fun. Reminds me of Warhawk except for the fact that Warhawk is so much more polished. Warhawk was seriously addicting. Only reason I might get this is cause its $14 and i know lots of people will be on it. Still on the fence.

    I like how it assumes PS3 won’t catch up and also get 43 million kills at about the same time.

    ^ Considering that the user base for 360 is significantly larger than PS3, and considering 360 is only about 8 million kills from the target, while PS3 is only at about 20 million, it’s only logical to assume they would get it much sooner.

    I love BF: 1943! I only played the demo, but it was easily my favorite PSN game/demo.

    Yeah it is fun, there are some minor troubles but that is to be expected for a game of this price from EA…

    Well **** i’m sorry i felt like playing bioshock too.I put my time into bad company to get the platinum trophy and then i buy your new game,1943 and this is what i get.Screw you.But i still love battlefield.I’m addicted.It probably did better on the xbox because people got tired of campers on halo and call of duty.Thats all they do is camp,kids.

    I’m with Trexman – Warhawk is better – bigger, more complex, more rewarding.

    However, I’d be very happy with a Warhawk that looked as good as BF1943.

    BF 1943 just made me want to play WarhawK again, BF 1943 seems slow and clunky compared to WarhawK, still has a good time playing, but I think i’ll be revisiting an old friend soon :)

    If warhawk werent so outdated I’d maybe pick it up, but BF 1943 has my goat right now. That game is just fun, I wish they would fix the mic issue thats my only complaint.

    I just checked battlfield.com and looks like 360 is getting it in the next few hours they have 40,000,000 some kills and we have 20,900,000 some kills, WOOAAA We’re half way there, Woooaaaa living on a prayer!

    I know I had a lot of fun with it right away. I’m not very good yet but I’ll get there as soon as I become more familiar with the maps and character classes.

    I knew the whole PS3 vs 360 kill count thing was always going the 360′s way, they should have done it off some thing else like the average kills in every game, would make it fairer as console population wouldn’t matter.

    I’m sure there will be a flamebait article aobut the kill count and another abnout 360 being superior because of it’s fanbase too.

    I will be getting this game soon though.
