Please get the aussie xbox servers live as soon as you can, as the lag is really bad atm.. i'm getting bored ;\

by the sounds of it dude.. even once the 360 does get the aussie servers i think it will still lag out the plane on the 360.
on the ps3 before the aussie servers were out i could fly a plane no trouble at all even in the american servers.. the flight was very smooth, the only thing was that killing enemies was harder (because of lag)

it has been confirmed that bf1943 runs a lot more smoothly on the ps3 then the 360 (my friend has 360 and i have seen for myself) so even once the 360 gets the servers don't expect it to be super smooth

Um why wouldn't run super smooth? i play on other countrys servers and don't lag out in the plane i fly it smooth on the 360. Don't know what either of you are talking about.

Anyone notice us aussies were connecting to the tokyo server tonight, a bit less lag cant wait to play on an aussie server

These are still coming for Xbox 360, first amount is small because that stock was quick to get. We use insane spec hardware and have extra orders coming in, just takes a bit to get these Down Under!

Gotta agree with you here dude.

I've played both versions, (trial only on ps3, trial/full game on 360) and the idea it runs smoother on ps3 is ridiculous. If it's lagging so much that it looks smoother on one of those guys PS3 systems than the 360 version, or if its lagging so much you can't fly a plane, something other than the game is wrong.

I fly planes all the time in game, do bombing runs, or take off early and chute to an early flag cap, and i get around 250 at worst, to around 500-600 per game max, with plenty of kills and flag caps/defends, and that's on the current servers.

Thanks for the update on the oz360 servers Gordon and good job on the Major Nelson podcast considering the stress of launch, sleep deprivation and all. Look forward to bit of a dog fight with ya if your ever on the Aussie/Japan servers when they are all up and firing.

So I am guessing "a few days" again right?

banshee315 · 14-07-2009, 03:01 AM

Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet?

Seriously, this is good news. Hopefully by the weekend the 360 servers will be up and running.

once again posting on another page for our aussie & nz gamers to head on over to the new battlefield australia community at Battlefield Australia so we can get together and have somewhere to share our gamercards / psn's and organise some events.

GunSlingerAU · 14-07-2009, 03:56 AM

Gordon for AU Prime Minister! Dice to replace our government!

Thanks GVK, awesome, industry-leading news. Where Dice has led, the rest shall follow.

sounds like a cool idea but it's starting to sound like spam.

I'm so glad I bought this game, online playability is heaps better than Bad Company on PS3. Nice work Gordon and DICE. Hey are you also going to have AU servers for Bad Company 2?

If enough people buy BF1943, that's the plan. Been outlined a few pages back.

Te plan is yes, but the suits want numbers. So the more pre/orders the more servers I would be able to have ready. I know that sounds like a way to get you to pre-order, but it is the truth. That is what hurt us the most in BF1943, they had no pre/orders for me to prove BF1943 would sell well and they looked at past Arcade and PSN games.

goingsouth · 14-07-2009, 09:41 AM

Any ETA on the Xbox servers Gordon? The lag's killin' me.

Soon, I'm on the ball and things are getting better for the team now, shouldn't be to much of an issue for them to sort soon.

Fair enough. I play with a bunch of old school 30yr+ Kiwi gamers, and all say BFBC would be the best game ever if it had local servers. So if there is servers for bfbc2 and you guys dont screw the game up (hey, im sure you wont!) then its going to the first pre order for me in a long long time. Im so excited about the servers, I have not been on a forum this much since... well ever!

I do have one question, will the servers be based in Sydney like the PS3 ones?

Any ETA on when we expected you to be ultimate cool for getting these servers?

Thats good nice a close to NZ. Cant wait for them to come on - I have swine flu atm so have alot of time on my hands since I am not allowed to leave the house for another 6 days!

The_Aus_Hulk · 14-07-2009, 09:32 PM

I wish i bought the ps3 version, I'm really sick of this lag.

scotte2hotte · 14-07-2009, 09:54 PM

The new mode is unplayable atm because of the lag, so the question is... will we have servers for the new game mode aswell?

I very much agree, even on the japanese servers (not tooooo laggy for us, but bad enough) it is unplayable.

GvD, being a pretty common name around the xbox australia scene on CoD and Gears of war, i can firmly tell you that once these servers come up, a large majority of my friendslist will be buying the the game. And the people who have already bought it, are having a freaking great time man, me included.

If these servers have alot of room, and not just a couple of lobbys (:O), except a huge amount of sales for BFBC2.

Cheers!

Gordon roughly what is the specs for these servers? Are you able to share? Curious to know...
For some reason the game wouldnt connect us to the Tokyo server last night like it did the previous night which meant as you may suspect "painfull, painfull lag"...
