The beta is live and a lot of people seems to be having fun!

But this is still a BETA, where we are looking for bugs and other problems before the retail release.
There have for example been some lag on smoe servers but they are being worked on and also some new crashes have been found which is a good thing =)

There is no limit on how much testing all the beta-players are doing in 1 hour that would take weeks and weeks inhouse.

If you find any weird bugs or crashes please tell me in the comments and I will relay them to the dev team!

>> Battlefield and dedicated server blog.

Also short update about me:
The reason my blog is dead atm is because I am working on an un-annouced project, as soon as I can talk about it I will kick it back into life, I promise!

What I have been doing is playing BF1943 on the evenings, look for my x360 tag “cmd85″ on the servers, I am at the top on the scoreboard

I wont be able to update to much about my current work but I can still have discussions about announced games that I working with like BF1943 PC and BC2!

Have nice day!

Hi

I haven’t been able to play Battlefield 1943 under the vacation but last weekend I have been playing it a lot,
counting in on 6 hours and 38 minutes in 2 days
I am suprised that I am still leading the boards when I play but I guess that my score still is pretty low so I am being balanced to random servers, and the fact that I got about 1 year of training in the game

I would love to hear more about your experiences on the battlefield, both good and bad so I can learn more about what the general thoughts are!

My x360 Gamertag is “cmd85“, so you just might run into me on the battlefield

Read more to se my post! =)

Default airplane controls
We wanted to have inverted axis as default on airplanes but a requirement from one of the console companies made it impossible since as default pressing up on a stick must always mean up in the game on their console.
So this is nothing we can do anything about it and we did try to make it “pass” before release =)

Just go into options and change airplane axis and you are all set!

Tank shells having close to no splash
The tank driver have both shells and a coax gun. Use the coax on soldiers and you will be fine, if shells had big splash damage against infantry it would be overpowered.

Friendly Fire
There is no “fun” in killing team mates =)
Plus I already seen a lot more “up sides” to it, people cant shoot their own teams planes just because they didn’t get it themselves

Demo having expiry timy
This is an online only multiplayer game, if we didn’t have an expiry time we would give the game away for free =)
But your can play around in the tutorial level as long as you want to!

Tank sights
The 3rd person camera sight is not supposed to be used for precision aiming, 3rd person is for driving and maybe close combat shooting at houses =)
The 1st person view is the best sight to use when you are in a fire fight.
