ok, thanx for the coax))
Glad to hear you will continue your work on online FPS games!
1943 looks fantastic to be a low priced dounloadable game.

Cant say much about my “new” projects as you might understand, but I will countinue to focus on online games and it’s gameplay flow and weapon handling!

About the tank, the reason they havent got much splash damage against soldiers is because the reason meantioned above:
Tanks are mainly for destroying vehicles, it shouldn’t be to easy to kill of soldiers with big splash, but the driver does have the coax machine gun for that!

Well, this is why you don’t quite understand me. I played PC versions and they were nice. I still play BF2 with my friend when I go to the summer howse. But the story with Bad Company is very different. DICE had pretty videos advertising the game, they even mocked some of the games that ironically became better than BC (Take Metal Gear Solid 4 for example). I thought that it could be a great game, so I dounloaded the demo. The demo had some bugs, so I thought that after the final release the game will be polished, but it became even worse. I’m so glad that I did not buy a Golden Edition (It is just a waste of money).
This is why I am so desperate on trying to improve the game (I hope I said it correctly). After I bought Bad Company I had nice challenges, but the same flaws became unberreble and I had to quit. Now I’m just feeling betrayed…

Gustav! I beleave in You!
By the way, since You started your career as a game desighner, what is Your next progect after 1943?

well when i said battlefield games i was referring to BF1942, BFV, BF2 etc…never played BFBC so cant say anything on that but the PC battlefield games were always fun and mostly balanced.

As long as BF1943 is fun and balanced too it should be good, but i wouldn’t want it to be too realistic by making the tanks overpowered, sure they might have big splash damage from the tank shells in real life but in the game i dont want 1 guy to be able to jump in and rack up a ton of easy kills with no skill needed just by sitting in an overpowered vehicle.

fun/balance > realism

Leki, I know what ArmA is, and I am planning to buy OF2 for PS3, alongside with BC2 (if it will be not uber balanced). And what fun do I get in BC1? Sorry, but that game was just ruined. Great weapon collection, awesome sound effects and rubbish balance. Aimbot and Wallhack cheats online? The vehicles are useless. The single player AI is just dumb. But DICE said that BC2 will be more “serious”. Well, we will see about that. And I don’t even want to continue on discussing how BC1 is fun. yuckk…

And yes, war is not fun IRL, so I want to go online and blow the opposing team to sky-high. And if our team has tecnological iferiority, we can still fight, but differently. That is what I call fun!

Gustav, your game looks promising I will stay here for a bit longer
But you can make splash damage at least 2 meters in diameter and give tanks limited ammo, so people will use the cannon more against vehicles and not infantry… ah, It’s Your game, so do it how you like.

Well said. Battlefield is all about fun and gameplay, and if that is colliding with realism, fun/gameplay will always win =)

What I said was that tank shells dosent to splash damage to soldiers, since that makes it to easy to kill of soldier.
For that you have your coax machine gun on secondary fire!

But it’s still gives a lot of damage when hitting vehicles = big explosion.

because big explosions look cool

The battlefield games have never been a real war simulator, they put fun and balance (well… they try with balance ) before realism.

If you want a more war simulation game then take a look at somehting like ArmA 2…..but remember…war isn’t fun in real life.

So, how different will be PC or console versions?

Sorry, but why put big explosions if they are not doing damage? I just can’t understand. Or I am wrongly thinking about Battlefield game as a simulator? And I need to leave this franchise to the arcade shooter fanbase, and stop talking about realism and “weapon nazism”?

I respect you Gustav, and maybe I don’t understand Battlefield games.
