Re: Battlefield 1943 *Part 2*

Following the earlier tips I had some much better sniping sessions tonight, averaging about 80 points per round - which is good for me. Pick up best squad achievement when playing with kinetic. They seem to gave sorted the servers out now.

Re: Battlefield 1943 *Part 2*

I also joined a game with 4 people from here however they didn't join my squad neither did I get an invite to join yours. So I killed a few of you when you jumped ship to the other side so revenge was sweet
P.S no issue's at all with the servers now and I have played about 20 games today.

Re: Battlefield 1943 *Part 2*

Probably be the last good game!

Is that from the dash with the game running or just from sitting on the dash to clicking join then game loads and joins etc?

Re: Battlefield 1943 *Part 2*

Used my 30 mins trial time up. Basically 2 games, managed to come 3rd and then 1st in my last game with 11 kills.
I managed to find games instantly with no lag in either, maybe other people were as I seem to find killing people pretty easy (and I am not usually that good!)

One bit made me laugh was when I was roaming around in a tank, an enemy hopped into a P40 so I fired my cannon at it whilst it was taking off
Quite satisfying seeing it blow up.
Will probably buy it but prefer COD 5 (of course its alot cheaper than COD5)

First couple of days i was mushing fools like no ones business, now i seem to drive through them and nothing happens

I'm also getting some of the odd graphical glitch and one weird one in particular is no dot for my pistol as sniper. I capped Pafters with the no dot pistol and picked up his infantry kit and i had the big circle for the SMG but no dot in the middle

All seems to be working well now, just left having played a few rounds in Combat's and DEADMEAT's squad. Picked up a few kills laying explosives down at a captured flag and then letting it go when the suckers tried to cap it. I'm getting into the groove down, quite often clocking up 100 plus per round.

I had a bad 5 minute spell when I was in a squad with you, guns and spunky on iwo jima. I thought I was gonna get disconnected. Must have been a problem at my end.

Re: Battlefield 1943 *Part 2*

Me and 4 other were joing from squads straight away, allthough I kept getting disconnected every 5-8 mins, about 10 times in a row.

I done a factory reset on my black BT Home Hub and it seemd to have sorted the problem, I'm only guessing that an update must of changed my settings to NAT.

If anyone is getting this problem, try factory reset on your home hub, it worked for me!

Downloaded the trial game and can't even get past the menu - just get a 'Failed to connect' message

Way to make me want to buy the game

Cheers, will give the game another go tonight with any luck.

We'll all have to try and jump on this week at some point for a big private game.......

Yeah i have the same issue quite often with my home hub... supposedly a common thing whenever they update the firmware remotely or something you then need to reset it for the NAT to work properly. Slight annoyance as the only warning you get it xbox live not working properly!
