Rating Reviewed By moovomit (1000+) Review Date 11/24/2005 Overall Rating  5 of 5 Value Rating  0 of 5 Rate this review? Summary Ok. This game was great. it was the single reason why i have no life right now. I spent day and night trying to be the best at Battlefield and darn near did it when i entered a dogfighting championship. Battlefield 1942 combines creative maps, a good choice of sveral unique unit types, and the almost unique ability to use any vehicle, plane or boat to attack the enemy position.Sound The sound on this game is excellent, you can distinguish between the several different kinds of weaponry just by the sound they make. Also, the plane and tank engines are so realisticly loud that you can just hear your radio, enemy planes, and bullets either flyign by or hitting you.Gameplay The gameplay in BF1942 is what makes it what it is. It is so in depth that there are several different ways in which you can do anything. For instance, you can use a plane to shoot down enemy bombers or do strafing runs against infantry, or you can use it to bomb enemy forces to smithereens. Also, the mulitplayer online makes sure that the game is a skill battle more than a match between who can shoot more bullets first. The mod support also gives you more of a gameplay option (i highly reccomend downloading the Desert Combat mod). Also, the campaign mode allows the player to go through a series of battles set and try to come through at the end with an untouched battle record. There is also an immense amount of control enabled for the skill of the AI and the overall way the game is played.Would you like to Comment?

Summary Realistic WW2 Simulation allowing you to choose many differant weapons or vehicles to complete your mission. I find this game boring because I keep getting killed after only 30-60 seconds of play (I'm agressive), and the missions are short-way too short. I spend more time restarting the missions than I do playing them.Sound OK, but I reduced my sound quality to get smoother movement in the graphics.Gameplay Requires a powerful CPU/Video combination. Gameplay is excellent but you'll need a sreious computer. Workes poorly on my 1.2Ghz-(4XAGP)machine and works OK on my 1.8Ghz-(8XAGP) with medium graphics amd sound settings.Would you like to Comment?

Summary A very good game with, I usually don't like third person games. But with Battlefield, there is so much you can do in the game it's unreal. Each battle is different having to use more than just one of the 5 types of soldiers offered by the game. In the battle itself, you can play each one over and over and the computer will always do something different. Operating of soldiers, their weapons, vehicles, ships, and airplanes are simple and easy to pick up on.Sound Sound is great with guys yelling, bombs exploding (and exploding in the distance) and bullets whizzing by you.Gameplay Easy to manuever yourself and vehicles. Buttons are easy to pick up on after a few hours of playing. I've never run into any problems running the game itself.Would you like to Comment?

Summary Battlefield 1942 is a multiplayer game. The Single player option is an afterthought, but you can use it as a means to practice flying or learn some tricks. The heart of the gameplay contains a living, breathing battlefield that allows for endless options in an immersive World War II environment. Battlefield 1942 should appeal to history buffs, First Person Shooter fans, online gamers, and strategists. In other words, most gamers will find this to be one of the best online games ever made and possibly the best game ever made. It is that good, that immersive, that entertaining, that exciting, and a work of art. There is really no reason to pass up this title. The sheer size of the game can be overwhelming at first with different unit classes and many vehicles on land, sea, and air. That's right, you can control planes, tanks, jeeps, boats, battleships, aircraft carriers, submarines, and other vehicles. This adds many options for you to participate in the success for your team. Identifying a need and accepting that role is at the heart of Battlefield 1942, and at the core of war.Sound Bullets whiz by as you traverse hostile terrain trying to gain position on the map. Planes sound closer as their propeller nears and the strafing begins...you can kiss yourself goodbye. Bombers bombing, warships blasting hillsides, machine guns firing, and tanks battling are some of the sounds that you will hear. There is a warlike realism that provides an encompassing experience. The explosions are huge, and all the little details make this game feel great. All the sounds heighten the gameplay and make you come back for more. Also, the music is a simple but fun song that creates a mood for the game.Gameplay The main online game is called conquest. There are other game options like capture the flag, but conquest is where this game really shines. The object of conquest is to capture spawn points on the map highlighted by a team flag. Each team has a home base spawn point, but there are advantages for having more. For example, when a team controls over 50% of the spawn points, it will remove tickets at a faster rate from the enemy. Tickets are points that countdown to zero in order to end the game. Each team starts with a certain number of tickets dictated by the server, and 300 is very common. This system encourages players to stay alive, because the team loses tickets for each death. This gameplay element adds a unique balance between killing and dying that makes the game interesting and challenging. The best way to stay alive is with stealth-like movement avoiding main paths. Also, finding health lockers and ammo bins are important for replenishing your health and ammo. Another need for capturing spawn points is to gain access to the resources there like vehicles, planes, guns, ammo bins, and health lockers. Furthermore, your team will have the ability to spawn at the new spawn points...hence the name. Like most strategy games, map control is important. There are 5 classes to choose from. Infantry, scout (sniper), medic, engineer, and anti-tank. They all have a need and play a role in a rock-paper-scissors gameplay element similar to what you find in a real-time strategy game. Furthermore, each class has a variety of weapons that add another layer of rock-paper-scissors gameplay for various situations. For example, the anti-tank class has a bazooka for shooting tanks, but may need to switch to a handgun for close combat. Also, an engineer could fix things, but may have to switch to a rifle for close combat or lay mines on bridges to stop tank advances. Many of these counters are discovered as you play the game, and keep you thinking about how to tackle different situations. When you die, you have the option of spawning as any class in an immediate need. It is easy to change classes by swapping packs with one laying on the ground.Would you like to Comment?
