Did you not see the tagline that read "64 Player Multiplayer"?!??
User Rating: 8.8 | Battlefield 1942 PC
Again, I jumped on the Battlefield 1942 bandwagon a bit too late. In the end I liked it so much that I ended up upgrading my video card. BF1942 is much more than a WWII themed shooter. You see, it's a way of life. Before BF1942 I was overweight, depressed, and... wait...wrong story. BF1942 is a lot of different things. On one hand you have single-player missions driven by bots. Bots in this game totally suck. I've never, ever lost a BF1942 game against a bot. Even worse is having bots on your team that don't like to take objective points. But, I digress... There are a few classes of soldier to choose from: it's pretty much all been done before but you've got a shooter, a sniper, an engineer, a medic, and a heavier gun guy. Pick your choosin but most folks hit up the generic gun or the sniper. The game runs quite nicely on a decent home PC, and by this time you should be able to outpace any of the original requirements. The largest portion of the game is the multiplayer. Now, I'll be honest: Soon after engaging in AIM online with BF1942 folks I was turned onto the hottest mod ever: DesertCombat. Developed by Trauma Studios, this free mod turns 1942 into 1999. I think really I enjoyed the mod much more than the original game. Now, online play with DesertCombat is friggin sweet! Modernized weapons, chat, vehicles...awww yeah. In the end if you get BF1942, make sure you pick up DesertCombat mod as well. Its well worth it with 64 players playing online in near lag-free scenarios. PICK SERVERS CLOSE TO YOU!
