Battlefield 1942

I know the game is old by now, but I don't care. This game caused some old friends of mine to be told by the university to not come back the next year... Multiplayer in the dorms was insane. More so than Halo ever was. Epic battles raging on the ground, in the sky, and across the seas. We still like to boot it up every once and a while and get a little gaming going. As far as I am concerned, this was the best at what it did at the time. I have yet to find a game that can match the memories this gave me. The graphics fit the time, and it's hard to even complain about them when you are having so much fun. Nice selection of weapons, even though there wasn't any customization across classes. Then again, there wasn't too much of that happening at the time. While some will say there are better games now, I can't find one that brings a bigger smile to my face. Then again, I haven't tried Call of Duty 4 on my PS3 yet.....

BF1942 The Sandbox WW2 Game

Battlefield 1942 is a very unique ww2 game. There are no objectives there is no route you must follow it is just a straight up battle. You capture bases and get a certain amount of toops on a map the object: kill all the enemys reinforcements befor they do it to you. any vehicle is fair game you can even drive enemy vehicles as well. The thing that makes this game great is the teamwork aspect. There a troop types and no one tpye can dominate alone alrillerry need snipers, snipers need machine gunners, machine gunners need engineers, and engineers need medics. Just incase you outmaster the computers you should try the online mode where you can play with people from around the world. There are no rules in war just like there are no rules in battlefield 1942:The sanbox WW2 Game

First WWII to break the monotonous cycle of boring WWII, GREAT GAME

You need excellent hardware to play this game to the max, but still it is very fun. Att the max the GFX are outstanding. THIS IS THE FIRST WWII GAME TO BREAK THE CYCLE OF YOU AGAINST THE WHOLE FREAKING GERMAN ARMY AND LIKE TAKING A 1000000000 HITS FROM FIRE BEFORE YOU KEEL OVER AND DIE. This game is realistic and fun to play single player with AI companions, online people are trying to fight as one not as a team. You can have 63 AI on a map (you being the 64th player) IT's fun to play with ur freinds and AI. One thing I noticed is the Surplus of tanks, DICE and EA got a lil tank happy.

a shocking dissapointment

this game was so terrible that i dont know where to begin, the sad thing is that millions of people loved it! i bought this game after one of my friends told me about it, so i got it, played a game (which was about twenty minutes) and uninstalled it from my computer. the graphics werent anywhere as good as anyone had led me to believe. No one would work together, everyone tried to go out commando and eventually got blown away by one of the few people who had a tank. My team won, despite, because the other team, suprise, suprise, was the same way.

what Games Have Been Missing

Planes,Tanks,Boats,Artillery,AAGuns,MG42's,APC's almost all the weapons/vehicles of WW2. you can play as a medic engineer scout you name it scanning western europe, eastern europe, the south pacific and north africa where u take place in WW2's biggest battles omaha , stalingrad,algiers, el alamo , battle of the bulge , iwo jima, + much much more u get to play as an american russian british and German yes thats right i said it German soilder! although the AI sucks the game makes up for it. join the battle online, in 4 game modes TDM, CTF Conquest and Co-op yes co-op does this game get better? BUT WATCH OUT IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A 128 MB VCARD THIS WILL LAG LIKE HELL, w/ up to 400 on 400 soilders vs soilders ( respawn aswell ) you cant miss this from dog fights to action packed navy wars to tank anti tanks land mines and shore patroles this is 1 advenure that you cant miss Grapchics 4.5 pretty good but when stuff blows up it just turns black Sound 4.0 pretty good again but some stuff just sound cheap and for 400 vs 400 you really dont hear those guns cracking Controlle 3.5 its fine but u have to select some thing different for driving, flying, dribing boats, and walking Fun Factor 5.0 if u like WW2 Games or FPS's or Vehicle games this is for you
