Battlefield 1943 Now Available On PS3

Nofi from TheSixthAxis writes: "Fancy getting your hands on Battlefield 1943 before everyone else in Europe and the States? It'll be 10 hours until the game is out in Europe and another 6 or so on top of that before it lands in America, but Battlefield 1943 is now out on the Japanese PSN Store and it's fully in English. "

EA's servers are horrible and this game is not that great. Talk about dying every 10 seconds. Long Range soldiers rifle drops enemies with 2 shots and bazooka's have no range unless detonated right on target

If it's anything like my beloved BF1942 it's all good.

1.2 - The question I have is...
Can the servers take the number of users? I know they have had other problems on other platforms and was hoping the PS3 version is not plagued with connection issues. I want to know before I drop the cash for it so I don't get stiffed for the first week of owning it. Can anybody confirm this? I would love to DL it now but thought I would ask how it's working for everybody else thus far.

Are you kidding me?

I played the demo and only died twice, and I'm not even good at Battlefield.

I had the top score, 17 kills 0 deaths in one match.

Its really not that hard. I can't believe you got schooled on an arcade shooter with 3 classes.

Maybe I was the one killing you? If so, thanks for making my gametime enjoyable. BUYING THE GAME NOW :)

2 - Have any of the reviews...
...mentioned the lobby system for this game?

Can you search for local games or by region? or is it a free for all like Battlefield Bad Company?

This game looks fun but a poor lobby will more than likely result in a lag fest for those living in New Zealand.

Meh, I'll just wait for later to pick it up to play with some of my friends.

Also concerned about the connectivity, if there were problems on live also worried about playing it on the PSN, will have to wait and see I guess.

I played a 15 minute session on the PSN and had absolutely no problems. I was able to sign in with the littlest of ease as well as find a game, and then rejoin that game once it ended. Not sure why the 360 servers would be having problems, but I might be a little ticked if I paid for a problematic service where it's free competitor offered no hiccups. I actually am unaware of how LIVE works, so please pardon my ignorance.

I live in the US and played the Japan demo.

Never lagged the entire time.

The only game I have lagged on from PSN is GTA4, and the lag isn't even that bad. Seriously this game impressed the hell out of me. The only problem is a few graphical glitches, like things turning black etc.

i would be interested in your takes on PS3 vs 360 graphically and more of this game? Im not sure which system to buy it for. I care less about voice really as these games no one EVER plays as a team they just run and gun..

I would highly recommend anyone remotely interested in WW2 shooters to stick to W@W. That game is leaps and bounds ahead of this game plus it has gore which makes it real as opposed to battlefields paper fold like animations with no blood.

I would highly recommend that anyone who loves WaW not buy BF1943. If you LOVE WaW, you are probably one of those annoying twitchy 15 year old boys who can't be quiet while the adults are in the room.

If you like WaW but think that there is room for improvement, then you should give BF1943 a try.

Not sure I could stomach taking such a step back from BF2, but I suppose playing a Battlefield game on my big screen could be interesting.

Don't forget the updated graphics. Plus, they can add in maps later.

I was so looking forward to this game as I love BF and Warhawk. I have only played one game so far but first impressions are that it is everything id hoped. It has a very different feel to Warhawk even though it is essentially the same genre. ( please dont bore me with "BF1942 was 1st " etc... I dont care and thats not what im saying ). Its fresh, easy to get into, but like all great games will undoubtably be hard to master. Sometimes, you get a feeling for a game immediately and I just know that this will be awesome.

When I said I'd need a demo to decide, I didn't actually expect to get one. It's too bad the Canadian store doesn't update till 20:00hrs.
