FAQ Battlefield 1943 - Page 3

paramanic · 03-05-2009, 11:40 PM

They say its going to be 24 player online game for it but i know tht console games are roughly 24 player online anyway but other bf games for pc are up to 64 player so i am wondering will there be more people online in a map than the consoles? ? ?

merro · 04-05-2009, 08:05 AM

Hi all,
i´m very excited about the release of bf43 for consoles. As a former Bf42 player, i can hardly wait to play this!
Now my Question.
Since it is possible to host private Matches is it possible to change parameters of the game.
for example:
Time Frame
Weapons/Classes allowed.
Also will there be a In Game Browser where i can choose my game.
Or do you guys stick to Quick Game Join like in Bad Company.
If it is possible to host "public" matches, do they count as ranked games if no parameters are changed?
Would be a nice option!
Thx in advance for replys.

C´mon give me a chance, i am past thirty and a day one Bf Player

Sry about Spelling errors, me is german

merro · 06-05-2009, 08:06 AM

I got another Question concerning the mini map.
Will we be able to zoom in and out of the mini map like in good ól Bf42?
I really missed that feature in BFBC.

merro · 12-05-2009, 07:47 AM

No Answers to my Questions, but oh well here goes another one:
Mic Communication (concerning consoles!).
Did you guys improve the chat with Bf43. BfBC chat at least on ps3 often does not work at all, i think it works better with the 360.
Will Mics be open or PTT.
I prefer PTT, since constant singing/swearing/ background music/ or whatever from other players gets real anoying while playing.

lordofthejewsjr · 12-05-2009, 07:51 AM

as long as i can mute little kids who think they're big boys, its all good.

Ronin0ni · 12-05-2009, 06:07 PM

on xbox you can mute anyone man... u know that

seriously though an ingame mute option would be nice... not only for PS3 who don't have it built in, but it would faster and easier for XBOX users to just hit 1 button rather than needing to pull up their profile, which unless you are at the spawn screen can often result in a death

StineControl · 18-05-2009, 10:15 PM

Any Clan options ?

Ronin0ni · 18-05-2009, 10:25 PM

anybody ever read the F.A.Q.'s?

THere will be private matches, that are unranked and played on dedicated hosted servers. You can invite who you want and split teams how you want. 8 player minimum to play a private game

all i know is there are 5 planes a level to each on the ships one on the ilands not sure about tanks tho

"The Japanese are using a German K98 instead of an Arisaka. This choice was made not out of ignorance but rather because of budget constraints and we could not afford to build the correct rifle. We had a German rifle and had to go with it"

Huh??, do it cost more money for you guys, to make another weapon? do you have to pay the gredy Japanese makers of Arisaka to make it

Really dont understand it

yes it does cost money. Its not just making a weapon but also creating the right sound of the fun and also time. Time is money. Plus this is a budget game.

Evil_Paladin · 23-05-2009, 12:28 AM

The way I see it, The Kar98 is real life is a superior weapon anyway, so in-gam Ill take that over the arisaka.

4apples · 24-05-2009, 07:49 AM

Ahh i see

, So german sounds are cheaper

Do you get a Battlefield veteran stamp or something like the other games?
Have all games and expansions. Would be cool, if it was like "LT", "CPL" or something in front of your name.

Btw. Really good faq, really what i needed! love you guys!

masscaPL · 29-05-2009, 04:03 PM

Hello!

Great news about adding Coral Sea to the pack. I spent there hundreds of hours on PC version. Now questions to BF team:

Will the X360 version support joysticks, if so, which models ?

I am thinking about getting Aviator Flight Stick for Xbox 360 for that game only, i dont know if that makes sense?

Please confirm!

Cheers
Mike

Gamerdude222 · 30-05-2009, 10:18 PM

Seriously,we need some weapons to unlock,there is no reason to rank up otherwise...

wildeggtamer · 31-05-2009, 10:47 AM

Hi all, great news that we finally get a remake of BF42 (albeit with only 4 maps currently).

Having played on the original pc version, i'd like to know if we will finally be able to use the POV hat on joysticks to change view whilst flying ie, look left, up and right (using shift and mouse was a real pain when also trying to fly with the joystick) ? Also, is there any idea of what the system specs will be ?

Cheers all and thanks EA/DICE for making an old man happy

PS: a full remake would make me even happier!!!

KaBO0m · 03-06-2009, 09:34 PM

does anyone know if there is clan support?

EastbourneBoroFC · 03-06-2009, 11:07 PM

Can somebody tell me if they know for sure if this game will be available in the UK? And if so, when???...I keep seeing everywhere about the game being $15, but no mention of the price in £, which worries me, as it makes me think it is only available in the US, and I really, really want to play this bloody game, it sounds/looks awesome and I love the battlefield series!

Ronin0ni · 03-06-2009, 11:23 PM

15 pounds as well

jukeu2_4321 · 05-06-2009, 08:19 PM

After all the Bf series, 1942 plus expansions, bf2 plus expansions, bf vietnam and bf2142 plus expansions on the Pc and made popular by the Pc gamer out comes bf 1943 only to be released last on the Pc. Nice one, we (the Pc gamer) really did get turned over. Moneys king the console wins. Yeah i'm bitter. The only reason we're getting 1943 is cos of how well the bf series has done, thanks Pc gamers now do your wait
