Battlefield 1942

Anyone play it yet? It was just released today; it's an awesome game. You can get the MP demo here. It's really cool, kinda like MoH but better (I think). You can fly airplanes or be the gunner, drive jeeps, tanks, battleships, boats, submarines and more, all online. Also you can use the cars as moving bombs and ram tanks, etc. and jump-out before it blows. If your airplane gets shot down, you can parachute down safely. You have the option to be on the Allied forces or Axis forces.

yep i tried the demo very good game...and you need to think fast lol,
and its a lotta fun. might be game of the year! unless UT2003 takes it out.
it runs smooth though, even on the celerys. so it might be a winner

is a really good game

Graphics are very nice aswell

Looking forward to Unreal 2003 alot more though, demo is out very soon (hoping for tomorrow)

Very good game I highly reccomend this to anyone who enjoys a good MP game.. all the elements roll together perfectly..

SP is kind of a bore, but MP rox!

anyone have the disconnected from server issue yet with this game, i have the full version and this game ppicks up where MOH left off, great game. but i have the multiplayer disconnected from server issue. i am behind a linksys router. but it seems pp even without a router have this issue, any suggestions?

Great game.

Finding a good server is the best. I can play for hours as long as the sides are even.
(Not # wise, but skill wise)

I like being the engineer and putting dynomite in the jeep. Then driving it into a tank.
Jumping out and detonating it.

Finally getting the hang of flying the planes. Kept crashing before.
Now I can stay up and bomb pretty well.

This game is great.

Haven't played the SP version yet. Too busy playing MP online.......

looks like ill have to give this game another try, nice graphics but I thought it sucked. ill reinstall it over the weekend.

nartac · Sep 24, 2002, 06:04 AM

I also think it's a great game. Though it's very crash prone. I was just wondering if you guys have any lockup or color distortion with your video cards. I have Radeon 8500 64MB retail with latest official driver (catalyst 2.3) but keep on having video lock up and color distortion. Thanks

GravY · Sep 24, 2002, 10:01 AM

I have a friend going through the same lock ups with the 2.3's.. he went over to Omega/Pluto drivers and the problem has gone away..

I like it alot but get aggrevated because I get taken out the instant I spawn on the battlefield. Really pisses me of sometimes

GravY · Sep 25, 2002, 10:33 AM

Pick a different spawn point..

I like the idea of integrating vehicles into a medal of honour type enviroment

and actually using your brain ...lol, and the idea of fighting out battles is also a very cool idea that is well executed by battle field 1942

I obviously do that, but I still get sniped out within seconds. Not all the time but often enough to snap my nerves

PS. It's probably because I suck at this game

Good game,
for those with Creative sound card DE 5.1, need to update to latest driver, if not, the sound effect is with "cracking " sound.
Once installed with the latest driver, solid game. add effect to the nice graphics in the demo
