Monday, July 13, 2009 at 9:21 AMI thought that was standard fare for a Melbourne game?

Monday, July 13, 2009 at 9:30 AMEasy there goose. We don’t loose that often.
Also, when it comes to flares, the main supporters/members are trying to crack down on others using flares. after the punk let one off the supporters handed him over to the police – we’re kinda over being branded as hooligans i guess.
On the plus side, victory did play hard, they just couldn’t connect their crosses and the shots on goals were all near misses. Anything that had a chance at going in Schwarzer was just too quick for. he was in damn good form.
I guess after fullhams loss to gold coast, they didn’t want to suffer the embarrassment of loosing to another a-league side so really kicked it up a notch

Monday, July 13, 2009 at 9:52 AMI was surprised that Fulham lost their first match, but eh, the A-League just doesn’t do it for me. It just fails in comparisson to other football leagues around the world.

Only redeeming feature of the game? More streakers than goals scored.

Monday, July 13, 2009 at 11:26 AMWell then your game already had more to offer than ours.
I would have fallen asleep a couple of times if it wasn’t for the fact that we were all standing

Monday, July 13, 2009 at 9:36 AMBattlefield 1943 controls. Boy do they suck, why not use the BF bad company control system?
Worst part, they can’t be customized.
The 360 and PS3 control pads have two triggers (L2 & R2). In every other driving game I’ve seen they are used as throttle. Not 1943 however. Another good example is the planes. Pitch and roll are on the same analogue stick (L). Now explain to me how I’m able to turn the plane without spinning constantly? Again the vehicle controls are backwards, what game by default stears with the right stick? There’s more, much more. The alternate control schemes are also wrong. All the feels good buttons that would seam stock standard are assigned to secondary controls. 1942 let the player totally customize the layout. Why isn’t this in 1943?
Sorry but after playing the demo, for a good few hours and feeling like every motion was like writing with my wrong hand. I’m not spending $20 on the game.

Monday, July 13, 2009 at 10:05 AMFlying the planes in BF1943 is good fun! You just need to add a little yaw with the left stick to go with that roll! Now don’t get me started on Warhawk, why on earth would you map everything to a single stick! Kills the fun! … Maybe I’m just bitter because I can’t seem to get it to work…

Monday, July 13, 2009 at 1:03 PMthe on foot controls are exactly the same as Bad Company. the planes take a little practice but that makes it so much better.
the one thing i love about Bad Company and 1943 as well is the sound. When a fighter plane strafes your position, you damn well know it even if you dont see it.

“England captain Andrew Strauss denied anyone in his dressing room had acted outside the spirit of the game, instead claiming a spilt drink was at the heart of the matter.”

Monday, July 13, 2009 at 10:12 AMOK, OK – You’re probably all going to laugh at me for such a dumb question….
How do updates on the 360 work?
Does it install the update to your HDD (like the PS3 does) or download the update everytime you play?
Nathan Hands
Monday, July 13, 2009 at 12:30 PMInstalls once to the HDD. Are you having troubles with updates?
DamQ
Tuesday, July 14, 2009 at 12:08 PMI don’t think I have a problem….
Just noticed that I can put in a game today and an update occurs, I put it in again tomorrow and it updates again.
(But not every time and it’s not game specific)
