Battlefield 1943 (XBLA and PSN)

I tried to connect at 7.30 this morning thinking it would be less busy, but I still couldn't connect. However, it kept said it was joining a game and then said the game wasn't available, over and over.

Anyone else having these issues? I checked my NAT and all was okay.

Been trying all morning and getting the same mate, its def not your network its the EA servers, they were down for upgrading.

so fingers crossed its fixed soon !

I managed to get into a game earlier and had a blast... the controls are a bit unorthodox but it's sure fun.

It's classic BF, jets falling out of skies, cars leaping from mountains etc.

very good and worth a tenner

That's great to hear. Hopefully, server probs will soon go away.

Still having issues with connecting, well when I say issues that's a bit of an undrestatement as it won't connect at all though I'm sure it'll be sorted soon(fingers crossed!!).

Just one thing that's puzzling me a little is that on the flying tutorial the first tagets (the balloons and the tanks on the ship) are marked with yellow crossed rifles yet the planes on the carrier aren't and I don't seem to be able to blow 'em up ??

Are you using yr bombs to drop on them and not trying to shoot them...?

Yup! Should I be shooting them?

[MetalJoe]

You don't need to destroy those planes though. Just blow up the tanks to complete the objective.

Ah right, bit odd that the narrator chappy tells you to do so then eh !!

They really need to add a new achievement:

Managed to connect to a game - 50G

[Jebus]

It's EA...could the not make it a 1G achievement like Fifa so it takes forever to get your gamerscore back to an even number?

[Matt]

Hoping this works tonight.

So they needed 100 servers and only had 50? Really? 100 would only equal 2400 players at any time, assuming it's one instance per server. So they thought they're have 1200 people playing this at peak times? Come on!

In PC land you can rent servers pretty cheap, I think you can get say a 24 slot CS:S dedicated server for you clan for around ?15 a month. And those companies make money of course, so say EA rented another 100 server instances, they'd be looking at maybe a grand for a month.

That doesn't make sense at all....

24 hours later and I've been able to get into a grand total of two games... still having connection issues. Constantly stuck on "searching for games" screen and the only way I can exit is by quitting to the dash.

Piss poor EA.

[Dazzyman]

Someone remind EA its in the game tag cas so far I cant seem to find one

[yesteryeargames]

still cant get into a single game, is there anyway to try and get a refund?
they should at least refund everyone half the points for this mess up
