The best game at the time it was released. The soundtrack remained the best for many years. Even with the release of Battlefield 3, we still remember this game!
Easily the best online game to date. Sporting 40 weapons and 35 vehicles on servers that reach up to 64 players of pure chaos, there is no lack of excitement. Excellent controls, decent visuals and sounds add to the mix.
There are some bugs in the gameplay that really need attention. The final strike against it is caused by the fact that the crowd of people playing this game online is one of the worst online communities I’ve ever been a part of.
A decent FPS shooter. Quite revolutionary for its time considering there wasn't really any games that supported 64-player big team battles with the ability to fight the enemy on the ground as an infantryman, in a tank or from a mounted machine gun on a half-track, the ability to fight and pilot planes and even fight other ships in a submarine or provide shoreline bombardments against the enemy on maps like Iwo Jima or Omaha Beach. The map selection is decent, the ability to fight on the Western Front, Eastern Front and the Pacific Theatre provides the player with unique atmospheres as well as different countries to play as: British, Soviet, American, German and Japanese.
As of 2023 however, multiplayer support is still somewhat alive being ran by the community, gameplay can be quite stale but it's nice to see where Battlefield has come from. Mod support is quite nice as well, expanding upon the game base massively with mods such as BattleGroup42 or the notorious Desert Combat mod, giving Battlefield 1942 a more modern spin to it.
At first I thought it was a good old game, but in the process of passing the game I was disappointed, very stupid ai, these bots just stand still, they don’t respond to commands, while you captured one point, the enemy is already at another and my bots just often stood still, now this part is not playable.
Enjoy a game which is fun, but it lacks on hitboxes or whatever is f*cked up here because the game is like this:
Take a sniper rifle and shoot your enemy 5 times in a face with no damage done, then take a pistol and shoot him 3 times to body to kill him from the same distance.What? Are you serious? Ok, f*ck it, let's say I'm just bad at sniping. Let's try anti-tank unit.
So take a bazooka and shoot a tank 5 times to blow it up, then find out, that 2 or 3 grenades do the same. Ok, f*ck ****'s just play medic or assault only with pistol and grenades, because those are the most powerful weapons in this game.
And you others enjoy Battlefield 1942 b.c.
SummaryIn Battlefield 1942, you will experience the heat of battle as you heroically storm the beaches of Normandy, drive a tank across the deserts of northern Africa, pilot a fighter plane during the Battle of Midway, command a battleship at Guadalcanal, or parachute and commandeer a jeep in operation Market Garden. It is the only first person...
