Battlefield 1943

Battlefield 1943 may come as a bit of a disappointment to those who have played Battlefield 1942.

BF1942 came out a few years ago, but still has many people that play it - Why might this be?

A few simple things - MODS, MODS, MODS, MODS, MODS! And akin to it's other releases such as Battlefield 2 and 2142, there are weapon unlocks and other additional things to entice you to keep playing. (Number of people knifed for instance.)

As far as it goes, I've been playing on my console system, the PS3 that I've been attempting to get GNU Octave going on again, and that may also curtail my feelings of how great a game BF 1943 is.

Problems I have noticed so far:

- System Freezes a few times
- Lag
- No ping time indications that I have noticed, unlike other BF versions
- Random server timeouts

Why isn't anyone making a lib for keyboard and mouse controls on the console systems? It just makes SENSE! Why neither Sony, Nintendo, or Microsoft have done this I will never understand.

Sure give us weird and interesting controllers like the camera facial recognition stuff, and things like Wii controllers, but when it comes to the old school fps why can't we use our keyboards and mice?

I think 1943 is a cool game for $12, but it's no BF 1942/2142/BF2
