Anyone miss BF1942?

It was so epic compared the current BF games. It just had so much variety; epic Naval maps such as midway complete with carriers destroyers battleships, subs etc. Epic tank maps such as Operation Aberdeen, Gazala etc, Epic infantry maps; stalingrad, berlin, caen. Epic Air maps; battle of britain, coral sea and there there were the maps that had everything in it at once. It was just so refreshing one moment you could be in a round where your battleship is dualing an enemy ship with both crews manning the guns and the next round you could be in a fighter plane dogfighting. There was no other game like it, now BC2 the latest BF game is just infantry battles with 1 or 2 vehicles thrown in and no planes or ships at all as well as everything being in a smaller scale due to the player limit.

BF 1942 was amazing.

I do. 1942 was always my favorite.

Bf2 was my fave - id love a proper remake.

Red orchestra isn't bad though when it comes to filling the void.

I used to love playing the map Wake Island on BF2. The map was from Battlefield 1942 and then someone made a replica of it for BF2. Good memories :). I remember my squad and I parachuted behind enemy lines and had to keep ourselves alive before the frontline was able to distract them.

1942 will prob be the faveourite of the series of all time, my mates have never played the old ones and have only player bad company 2, wich is such a sellout from the traditional games, bot v bot action in conquest maps, thats how it should be. i think vietnam was pretty good still it kept the same kinda feel but in a newer setting and id say better guns, only problems with battlefield 1942 are sniper headshots seemed impossible to me even if they were dead still and so was i, but i guess i prefered rolling up that hill on omaha beach in my brand new tank and getting 20 kills in one shell muahahahahaha...but i totally agree bad company 1 was so terrible with its bad control movevent and aiming terrible boring guns and really really bad sound effects it made games not about being an awesome experience to being able to nock down trees and blow up houses....dull and repetitive

I do miss the game and especially the Desert Combat Mod. My order of how good the BF games have been (excluding expansion packs):

BF2 = BF1942 > BFV > BC2

BF 1942 was amazing.

Daytona_178

Desert Combat was amazing.

Definitely!

Definitely!

This was one of the best themes ever made for a game.

It just screams epic.

BF1942 pretty much blew me away when it came out and I thought it even outshined BF:V and BF2...but BC2 blows it out of the water in almost every regard. With that said BF:1942 has secured a place in gaming history for sure :)Renevent42

[QUOTE="Lost-Memory"][QUOTE="Remmib"] Omaha Beach...Oh my god the nostalgia. I wish they would do a remake of 1942. Best mutliplayer FPS I have ever played. Spent so many hours between the vanilla game and Desert Combat. Sniper headshots were indeed hard to pull off but oh how satisfying they were. I wish I could travel back in time.ColdfireTrilogy

Did that P.O.S 1943 ever get released? I stopped caring about it after they postponed that garbage for like 2 years.

Having both land and sea really set 1942 apart. Remember taking off from the carriers with your jet in the Japanese island maps and then flying to the enemy carrier and bombing the crap out of it until it sank? My friends, that is what we call epic.

I miss it more then I could ever say. My all time favorite online fps shooter. No other game, not even other BF games could compare. Every gameplay thing about it was perfect. Was fully balanced. Unlike BF2 where helos and jets rule everything.
