Last Month the Japanese try to retrive this mod a little bit more. They played in the at 2pm CET. At the moment the gametracker,com Server Monitorring is off. Hope soon they turn it on. The ranking seems to work.
It's disappointing to see that DICE has become another victim of the console fad... Console=Scum PC gamers built DICE, pc owning people like the modders within Trauma studios and even within this very community built up a following for 1942 that still carries on today. It's ridiculous the legacy that Battlefield 1942 has.
For DICE to come out with 1943 is purely and utterly disappointing. 24 player cap in multiplayer... 3 maps... DICE, you can do better. From what I have seen of developer interviews 1943 was a pet project that grew into something a little more when some of the coneheads in management at DICE realized, "Hey, we can make some money off of this."
If DICE took the time, put in the effort and created a FULL FLEDGED game that goes back and takes everything 1942, all the maps, all the vehicles, all the styles of play, the setting and you build on that already B+ level game and give it a makeover, you've got a decent selling game that everyone will buy just because of the Battlefield reputation. Now if you add to it, bring more to the table, combine the elements of 1942, BF2 and 2142 and give the PC Battlefield Community what they have wanted since the announcement of BF2, you will have a serious contender for game of the year which will have the lasting legacy that 1942 did. It's a really simple concept, but why DICE has turned it's back on the community that built it makes me feel betrayed. And yes for any DICE coneheads that may read this, with a full fledged game, you can charge a full fledged price.
Give the crap to the console scum, that's fine. The PC community has dedication to both their machines and too the games that they play. We have alot more invested in our toys and therefore we expect more. Please DICE, don't let us down.

Well said, but since long days ago when EA acquired DICE, it is when battlefield went downhill, essentially dice is EA and dice will pump out EA quality games and services.
Thank god for battlefield 1942 <3 i still play it, bf2 was fun for a few weeks.. but got boring fast, unlike 1942, i can play for hours and hours and hours! and theres a shitload of mods if i get tired of killing nazis, pirates, vigilantes, insurgents, halo aliens, somalians, french ppl, drug kartels, zombies. and so on. i wubs 1942
Dice have PC stuff coming and in reality EA don't tell them what to do or affect the quality.. it's just very hard to match up to or top a game like 1942..
BF2 was technically better than 1942 and Bad Company was technically better than BF2.. but theres an X factor which is very hard to find sometimes.. 1942 had it.. perhaps BF3 will too
Yeah i hope so They gave us bf heroes tho ^^ for free.. thats gotta count for something! but i think players that didnt play bf1942 will play bf heroes, and the bf1942 players will probably wait for bf3

played 1943 on PSN, was kinda meh. feels very arcady and the controls left alot to be desired especially for the planes. doesn't really provide anything you can't already get from bf1942.
