Summary: Addictive Gameplay!!! Be Prepared for WAR!
Review: I bought this game a week ago and Im suprised that Im here writing this review and not playing! First things first. If your looking for a multiplayer/first-person shooter thats about blowing up tanks, shooting down planes, and stabbing your enemies in the back then buy this one.

Multiplayer is the gem of this package, in my opinion. Using teamwork against to take over positions on the battlefield and using several different weapons to do so, and up to 64 players at the same time. You can jump into a tank, airplane, or even a submarine!! Or, snipe a soldier from the top of a hill, or drop landmines on an airfield.

Summary: Battlefield FLOP!!
Review: Bought the game the day it was released with eager anticipation given all the hipe. I'm a loyal fan of Meddle of Honor so I thought I couldn't go wrong given EA was behind the development. Big dissapoinment! Gameplay lagged, game detail looked rushed and unpolished, there was no sense of nostalgia that the Meddle of Honor series engendered and the campaigns were poorley conceived and developed.

My advice: save your money and wait for the Meddle of Honor expansion due out in November. Battlefield 1942 is a big flop!!

Summary: Warning on requirements
Review: The one star is the lowest I could go, but a "0" would be appropriate. As an e-mail from Tech Help told me after I found all the opening control screens were filled with rectangular blocks rather than text, the game is "very demanding" (i.e., it was poorly developed), and will support only AT/Radeon, NVIDIA GEForce, and Matrox Parhela video cards. Don't waste your money if you haven't got one of these cards.

Summary: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
Review: The Good. I'm an engineer in the U.S. Army on Guadalcanal in the midst of 32 players duking it out over each team's flag. There are Axis players everywhere (Japanese in this case). One of them has my team's flag and is booking it up the coast road in a TANK. What chance do I have to save the day and keep our flag? I'm just schmuck with a bolt-action rifle. Wrong. I hightail it over to the road, plant an explosive pack, and hide in the nearby trees. When that tank rolls by, BLAM!, I'm a hero with a flag.

The Bad. Lag is terrible at times, especially with many players on the screen. Nothing is worse than carefully drawing your crosshairs down on some scumbag only to have him disappear and reappear 10 feet to the right of you.

The Ugly. Players can be unruly, as with all online gaming, and it is typically no place for kids. Filthy language spewing from other players is the norm. On one particularly bad occasion, other players on the server began trading racially charged insults about black and jewish people. The official EA servers say they will kick anyone who cusses, teamkills, etc. Don't buy it, I haven't seen it happen yet. Don't let your kids multiplay on this one alone, its like a chat room, only with guns.

Summary: Great WW2 game
Review: Battlefield is one of the only games around these days that allows you to fly in planes, drive tanks, and dive in submarines, and still fight as infantry. Its pretty great. There are a few bugs in the game, but those should be worked out before long I imagine. This is definately worth the purchase.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of the best in a long time.
Review: Honestly this game has to be one of the must exciting multiplayer experiences of all time. EA and DICE did a wonderful job of creating an engaging video game. It doesn't get any better then joining others in battle and cooperating to defeat another team of people. The interface makes it very easy to just get in a game and start having fun right away. I have to say something about the other complaints given about this game. One complained about Battlefield not supporting Win 95. Guess what, its time to get an new operating system. People who are saying this game is to hard, its not, well only if this game is the first you played. A person complains about connectivity. Get a decent connection and get the patches. This game is a must for all who enjoy gaming. Get it now!

Summary: Does not measure up to Medal of Honor
Review: Much to complicated to have fun playing. I enjoy Medal of Honor and thought this game would provide the same level of entertainment. NOT!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: NOT WORTH THE WAIT!
Review: This game is not worth the wait.. Never see the enemy, weapons mods are terrible, jerky movements. Explosions just look good, but don't blow anything up. Sorry I bought it. Will give away!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Great Idea, Bad execution
Review: This game had the potential to be one of my favorite games ever, but sadly it isn't. The game basically takes Medal of Honor, Warcraft, and the gameplay of Grand Theft Auto and melds it into one confusing mess. Sure its fun to run around jumping into jeeps, planes, and tanks and help the allies take Iwo Jima. However, the gameplay is horrible its nearly impossible to be accurate. The game is entertaining enough to make it buyable, but it is capable of so much more. If it was more like Medal of Honor, where the player has control over where and when he will throw his grenade or if the sniper rifle didn't zoom out after you shot, leaving you to wonder whether you killed the enemy or not. If the multiplayer games didn't end up reduced to 30 people fighting over the lone Spitfire on the runway. Yes, this game could be incredible if only the game designers had taken the best from each of those other great games instead of the worst.

Summary: Adult Review Here
Review: I purchased the game today. The game play is eerily similar to EA's other WWII shooter, Medal Of Honor: Allied Assault...and that's a good thing.

Installation was a snap - I experienced no problems getting right to the action. Even though I have an older system (PIII 933, 256MB RAM, 32MB GeForce2), the only lag I experienced was the game loading. After that, game play was "now, now, now."

I tried the single player portion of the game to begin with. It plays exactly the same as the multiplayer, which is really what this game's all about. Despite the full release going out only 24 hours ago (as of this writing), GameSpy's full of servers running the game, and at any given time today, there were at least 600 people playing.

If you have a decent machine (at least the recommended specs, and maybe slightly more) and a broadband internet connection, you'll enjoy this game. Don't hesitate - just buy it, and be prepared to stay up late learning how to infiltrate objectives without getting killed.
