Electronic Arts DICE's Battlefield 1943 has had a rough start. Since the downloadable title’s release, we’ve heard people talking about all sorts of nasty things: vicious latency issues and random disconnections are among the worst complaints. If you’ve hopped on this morning, you may have noticed a difference. DICE has been adding servers and burning the Swedish variant of midnight oil in order to kill the issues related to their over capacity servers. (The price has also dropped from 90,000 Microsoft Points to the standard price.)
“Good news,” EA DICE’s Gordan Van Dyke said via the game’s official forum yesterday afternoon (spotted by Edge), “the game is incredibly successful beyond even my expectations. We have reached server capacity, but the bad news about this now [is that] some people can’t join unless someone leaves. But don’t worry,” Van Dyke continued, “we are adding more servers ASAP to Xbox and in preparation [for the] PS3 that should start going up ASAP with priority on Xbox 360.”
So, there you go. It’s being fixed and from what we’ve heard, the issues are slowly going away. If you’re looking to keep track of what’s going on, go ahead and follow that message board thread. EA DICE is being responsible about all of this.

Hopefully, as they add more servers, the issues with finding an open game will decrease.
EA and DICE did royally fuck up though.
Xbox 360 will have around double the servers we have now by 4:30 PST (12:30 GMT)! This will be done in stages so please bear with us.
Update#4: We have full support of EA to add as many servers as takes and then some so that everyone can play. This work has already started and servers will be added around the clock with teams working to cover this 24 hours a day so not a moment is wasted. You will be able to play this game and play it lag free!
Update#5: Xbox 360 will have around double the servers we have now by 4:30 PST (12:30 GMT)! This will be done in stages so please bear with us. We also increased PS3 servers before release and will keep increasing both the Xbo 360 and PS3's capacity until needs are met with enough extra for peak playing times!
The last match I played I was a sniper. I put all of my demo charges onto a plane and started to fly, I angled the plane so that when I jumped out it would hit a spot where the other team all were. Jump out, deploy my parachute, and wait till the very last second to blow the charges still on the plane. I took out FIVE people and a tank. It was SO AWESOME. That is the kind of thing you wish you had replays for.
That made me lawl.
Thats good for the people allready playing and friends inviting. But for me its a big load of shit! Purchased this game on day one. Since then i havent got the chance to play this load of fucking fuck fuck not one fucking second. Iam so pissed! Yeah i know they dont expectet that much players bla bla bla. They expected and finally took, my money. What about giving and taking? They got my money now, i have nothing and it still doesnt work!
(I could get it on PS3 but these games are usually better on 360)
