Battlefield 1943 Getting Battle Scars Repaired
EA’s Battlefield 1943 was released almost exactly a month ago to this day, and by now most Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 owners have had a chance to experience what the $15 downloadable game offers. However, the game is still ridden with issues ranging from voice chat problems to the game switching people from your private squad to the other team. Thankfully the Battlefield 1943 Producer, Gordon Van Dyke, has made a public post on the UK Electronic Arts forum regarding his team’s efforts to fix these issues.
On the EA forum Gordon Van Dyke stated:
“I want to start by saying the threads of lies that I’m not around are just that, lies! I’m still around chasing issues even while on vacation and if you posted one of these threads you were a bit out of line for doing so. And those saying I left right away, I stayed after the game released with almost zero sleep fixing the major issues we could and still working on the Mic issue which ISN’T just on our end and needs working with Sony to help resolve!
If you have lag (Not including APAC which we’re working on, not an easy network you have over there!) it really is most likely on you end or your ISP. We can’t fix that no matter how much we wish we could. Point is I’m still here!
Current Status on some pending issues
*PS3 Mic – Nothing much changed and it is very hard to get logs or this to pass onto Sony, but it is a priority.
*AOL UK – Things are looking promising and a possible resolution may come next week. Don’t stop contacting them though as you are their reason to resolve this.
*Sydney Servers for Xbox 360 – Our match making system is not connecting players to the servers and this is being worked on as a priority by our Online team. This is not a simple problem, but is a priority for them.That is all for now and I hope most of you can understand (a lot of you already do) not everything is a simple fix and sometimes for better or worse it takes time to weed out and resolve.”
Although the upcoming patch won’t fix a few of the issues the game suffers from, the voice chat issue being fixed is definitely a step in the right direction. Hopefully the patch comes soon so people can start communicating with their friends online without any hitches.

Let’s hope that they get the friends thing fixed soon. I was invited to play in a private match but you need 16 peeps minimum to even get a game going. I even tried to use the “join friends in match” and it kept not connecting… Makes it hard to want to be a squad player when you can’t play with your friends in your squad. I have had times when a friend an I did play in many games most on the same side and an occasionaly we got seperated onto opposite teams…
But the fact is I only paid $15 DOLLARS, since the price is lower then you can’t expect the same level of support as a game you paid $60 DOLLARS for the money is not there for the Dev’s. If they support it great but don’t expect a lot of DLC or maps after the fact…
I like the game and it has me hooked but then so did Uncharted Multi-Player Beta. That is why I have this attraction to this game.
The only problem I’ve experienced is the mic,other than that everything is OKAY.
I have had the same mic issues i have had with Bad Company before I returned the game. Did they ever fix that issue caue then I would have a little more faith that they would fix this.
Considering the mic issue is exactly the same as BF:BC, they should have never had a problem with this in the first place.
Peace,

I wish they would add 2 more environments, then fix the mic.
Way to use a proffesional tone Mr Gordon Van Dyke and not sound like a 14 yr old who’s mad at people talking shit on a forum. Anyways Fuck your game Mr Van Dyke its been out a month and still has major mic issues and your response is Its been brought up with sony….hey thanks for caring ass whipe. Oh and being on Vacation after your game releases and kicking back and occasionally flipping open your laptop to read the latest posts on your forums about all the glitches in it didnt get your hands that dirty did it?
Well Vanilla took the words right out of my mouth this was an issue that was never addressed with BFBC and I thought they would have fixed it , but they are blaming there poor mic problems on Sony , maybe they should call Infinty Ward and ask them for help clear as a bell on MW and WaW.
Wow. Go ahead and blame SONY for something wrong with your product?
Mics work in EVERY other game. Sad.
