battlefield 1942 ~ Any good?
 

i tried the demo when it first came out, ran like shit on my system but i just assumed its because i used the demo and not the full prog.

So is this game really worth getting? I see lots of people playing it.

?

Yea it's pretty good, I liked it, but never got in to it, work too much to play games! :Graucho :Graucho

The game is great. Once you get it, go to http://www.desertcombat.com and download it. The YNOT boys have a server up and a few of us play every wednesday night. You are welcome to join us. I would love to drive a tank up your ass. :ak47:

The game is tops, once you get the hang of flying the planes you will never look back.

:thumbsup

I might pick this up.... sounds cool.

Thanks,
:rainfro

I'm there every wednesday.

:thumbsup

Man, I tried to play last wednesday but I downloaded the new nvidia drivers and kept crashing to the desktop. I had to keep trying older drivers until I found one that works. I had to go back to the August release of the drivers before it got back to normal. Just a tip: DON'T update drivers unless you have a real reason to do so!

I was wondering why I only saw you on there for a few minutes.

thanks bro, almost covered monitor in coffee lol

Good Game... hmm.. just time consuming. My copy been collecting dust on my shelf!

Man, the planes are so full of shit but they do kick ass ... I love the destroyer attack though - Midway is my personal fave :ak47:

nice game :thumbsup i like it but don't have much time to play

Same thing here... great game, but I'm too busy to play it.

It's awesome though on my THX certified surround sound Dell. Sweet!

:BangBang:

They suck when you can't fly them, but once you get the hang of them they rule. Nothing like bombing a tank, being chased by another plane, shaking him, and than blasting him out of the sky. In short, the game rules.

:BangBang:

game sucks donkey balls.Shitty graphics,sound and the game takes forever to load.
im using the cd's for coffee coasters.

best game ever is -Return To Castle Wolfenstein-multiplayer

Battlefield is ok, not great but pretty good.

Also have a look at "call of duty". It´s similar to Battlefield.
"Medal of Honor" is also good.

The game is nice, good GFX, but the game is a bit too slow for me :thumbsup

I didn't like it at all..

Well I like Single player, but the multiplayer just wasn't my style, movement was too slow to make duels any fun.. Go with planetside if you are into a FPS..

:thumbsup :thumbsup :thumbsup

I agree Odin ... it's plain stupid how difficult it is to control the plane. For the first several days I kept crushing on a regular basis. The game's fun though - especially multiplayer. What about Midway ... do you like the map?

The game is awesome. I would highly reccomend it! :thumbsup

top game, but i think you need cable or dsl or something to play it aswell aswell 256mg video card and @least a p4 2.4 so it will be smooth, and yeh i agree the planes are fucking hard to fly @ 1st, im still learinng slowly

I love the midway map, and most European war maps. I love CTF missions mostly, especially the ones that go for a while. I have played CTF matches that last for 2-3 hours on maps like Stalingrad, and I have to say it is awesome fun.

If you're having problems flying, GET A JOYSTICK! The mouse mapping for flight is horrid. Once you practice the planes, go
for the helos. I love flying the Apache and the Hind. You can have a lot of fun sticking to the ground, too. The weakest part of the game is the infantry-infantry combat, IMHO.

Great game!
For the 2003 hot FPS war game try Call of Duty. Really immersive, super cool WWII shooter.

Why play historic war games when you can play FPS in 21st century scenes and players! Best of all, full version is FREE!

http://www.americasarmy.com/

Download the 2.0 version.

The mod for BF1942 that is being talked about in this thread - DesertCombat - is 21st century warfare. It's the US vs. Iraq, with all the real weapons, vehicles, and aircraft.

I am hopelessly addicted.

:thumbsup

I have played Battlefield a couple times...Pretty cool game :Graucho



Mike............

Yup, Desert Combat rules.

The guided missiles they introduced after secret weapons of WW2 are awesome too.

Fighter planes are my favourite vehicles now, and the apache is 2nd.

Its been out for ages and it still rules.

I don't have time to play games, so I don't buy any.

I am looking forward to the next generation of games where you are in the game, kinda. You wear sensors and when you move your character moves, and the game is played. That'll take a few years to perfect but I read that the first generation of that is in the stores this Christmas.
