Battlefield 1943 Temporarily Taken Off XBL?

78
Planet Battlefield writes: "Lastly, some people have noticed that as of right now Battlefield 1943 has been set to 90,000 Microsoft points on Xbox Live instead of the usual 1200. Some suspect DICE want to put up more servers before adding more players to the game."
Updates:
The 90,000 point issue was an error showing only for silver accounts and should not have been shown in the first place. It has since been resolved.

But hey if DICE wants to take it down for a bit in an effort to make it a better gaming experience for all players im down with that

Wow, DiCE are hosting BF:1943 on their own servers? I just wander if they will recieve any of the monthly subscription I pay to play on Live!(Which is basically a peer-to-peer system and a rip off) or if Microsoft will just horde it all.

Atleast this game seems to be pretty popular, I had BF:1942 and BF:2 on the PC back in the day and they provided hours of fun and laughter. Bring it on!

2.1 - It's an EA thing...
They insist on using their own servers on Live and because they're so big MS cut a deal. And this is always the result. Dedicated servers are only as good as the company behind them.

Both PSN and XBL use a mixture of dedicated and P2P. But if XBL is a ripoff and you aren't on it I guess I wouldn't expect you to know wtf you're talking about.

fanny boy alert. if you actually read my post properly, you'd of read "I just wander if they will recieve any of the monthly subscription I pay to play on Live!" which would suggest I pay for Xbox Live!. Yes, maybe PSN is the same but PSN is free.

''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.''

guess you dint even read the link you posted.

People have been playing in matches all day on XBL. The few people on friends list I met from the game have not had issues. When I check my friends friends lists a lot of people are playing this and could be causing EA or Dice server problems.

You should have posted the Neogaf link to prove your point but I see you edited your comment removing your neogaf lie.

It doesn't work on Live right now? some people never had issues.

The sales far exceeded expectations, its something which was overlooked on EA's behalf. It'll be sorted soon. It's great to see the game got this much love as now it would be extremely stupid if they dont release any DLC.

6 - Good game ,but garbage servers!
I have to say that BF1943 is a pretty decent game,but oh those servers on XBL! I have heard that alot of people were having problems down loading the demo and the game.

The game does have some draw backs that should be looked into once they have there servers figured out. They need to let you adjust the amount of players to be in a private room. It's a pain in the backside to find 15 others that are not so disgusted in trying to join a ranked match that they went on to play something else. If you could set it to 6 players,you could then get a better feel for the maps and game controls.

The tutorial is good and all ,but its for only 1 person.

i seem to remember the bad company servers being bad for a couple days when the game came out, so i would imagine they will be fine soon.

I don't know why people are so mad. The game just launched and it's pretty popular, so server trouble isn't exactly unexpected. DICE should (hopefully) have these issues sorted out within a few days.

Also, I lol'd when I saw the new price it's set at. 90,000 MSP = $1125.

I keep telling the kidz....be a game developer or be a weather forecaster...these are the only 2 jobs I know that you can screw up every single day and there are no repercussions.
Personally so many game developers have NO self respect or pride to put out crap that dont work and come up with excuses, we didnt anticipate demand...psst...that should be part of your job

14 - They Suspect?
"Some suspect DICE want to put up more servers before adding more players to the game."

Brilliant deduction since it states this right at the load screen.

"We are adding servers and we will keep adding servers until all can play! We are over capacity and keep adding extra servers which may cause some disconnections. Please bear with us."- DICE

Stop ringing your hands in fear that its going to be a bad experience. The reason they are having problems is because everyone and my grandma want to play. Although, I dont know how they didn't see this coming. Be patient.

I posted this yesterday and today. They are running on EA SERVERS AND THE SERVERS ARE AT FULL CAPACITY. YOU CANNOT GET INTO A GAME AND IF YOU DO, YOU MIGHT GET DISCONNECTED. I played yesterday for about an hour and I hated it. You get killed every 2 minutes and the Long Range soldier's weapon can kill you with 2-3 shots. 3 Grenades can blow up a tank and bazookas have no blast radius. They are only useful with dead on hits. It's worth $15, but not that full retail BS people have been spouting. Servers are overloaded because you get a decent MP game for $15 during a gaming hiatus

@ Rob Honecker

STFU you lying piece of sh!t. Someone always has to start some bullshit over a simple issue. There was no problem downloading the demo from XBL yesterday you idiot. The demk actually downloaded within 10 minutes during peak time(6pm), once you hit UNLOCK FULL GAME if you liked the demo...it took 3 seconds. Try downloading a game on PSN and see how long it takes before you actually play it. XBL lets you D/L demos on every arcade game released, but PSN does not. XBL has a faster D/L time and lets you play right away, but PSN takes longer and then has to install the game before you can even play it. You don't even have the damn thing and you wanna start spouting garbage. That's why nerds get f-cked up in this world.

Instead of just saying that we can't download it, they raise it up to a price nobody could afford.
