Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Hmmmm
Review: Well everyone talks graphics but frankly I am not impressed with the graphical detail... Go play Unreal Tournament if you want graphics... UT2K3 has bragging rights in terms of graphical engines... This game does not. Graphics are nice but I'd like it more if the geometrical details were higher... Maybe new maps have better graphics who knows. Everyone seems to love the desert maps even tough they have no detailing and are boring as hell (maybe it's because lower end computers don't have trouble with them and everyone plays them online).

Regardless, the feel of the game is what makes it cool. The sniper rifle feels more real than the CS one for example. Not all shots are gonna score a kill simply because you had the dot on the guy. You need to have a good position (crouched for exapmle) to score kills. Also the movements are more realistic and you don't have players bunny-hopping all over the place. That's also good.

I have 2.2 Ghz 256 mb ram (I'm getting 256 more today because of this game) and ATI 9100 card. I get good FPS maxed out at 1024. If you want to buy the game first make sure you have at least 512 ram otherwise it's really not worth it...

I think this game was meant to be enjoyed on a 3.0 Ghz computer.... Maybe next year when I'll upgrade I'll write a new review.

Summary: Hard to beat gaming value
Review: What can I say; this game is a dream comes true. Anyone, who ever played war games as kid, and still harbors that inner child, will revel in this playground. Considering how much fun and entertainment you'll get, this cost for these games is a fantastic bargain. It's like paying 10 cents to get into a theme park and ride free all day.

Summary: The best WW2 Game out there
Review: This game is simpely awesome. The controls, the graphics and the chacter models and the online aspect. There all Just great. 1st off id like to say, this game is the best for MMOG(massive mulitplayer online gameing) I meen, someone runs a server 20 people connect and shoot eachother. Theres rarely lag or anything of that sort. Its just hours of fun. Second, the controld in this game are very fluid and easy to use. The chacter models are second to none, i meen, look how realistic it looks. My Only complent is its very graphicly dammanding. I have a P4 at 2.0ghz, but run it at 2.37ghz, 512mb of system ram and an Geforce4 Ti4600 with 132mb ram and at max settings it still managed to lag my comp. But that was easily fixed by not running it at maxium settings. So, for anyone that just wants to have fun killig other people in a WW2 setting, or for you hard core gamers like my self, id deffnaily reccmond this game.

Summary: Absolutely Amazing
Review: Battlefield: 1942 is perhaps one of the most immersive and interactive games I have played. With 5 different character classes and over 13 vehicles, you can do almost anything you want. You can get into anything that moves. Both the singleplayer missions and online play are extraordinary. However,if you are interested in playing online, I would also by the expansion, Battlefield: 1942 Road to Rome, as that is what most of the other players are using. The only downside to this game is that you can only truly enjoy it if you have a fast computer, I would reccommend a processor of 2.0 Ghz or greater with 256-512 MB RAM. Overall, an excellent game, and probably the finest war simulation I have ever played.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This game rocks!
Review: First of all, the physics are not terrible. The game doesn't have "auto-aim" like RTCW, plus if you move AT ALL, your accuracy goes way down. This is visually represented by your crosshairs, which widen when you are moving to reflect the wide spread of possible bullet locations. When you are stationary, your crosshairs narrow to almost a pinpoint, so you can have deadly accuracy.

People who say, "I run across an enemy and empty a clip and they drop me with one shot" know nothing about the game. You can't hit jack while running unless you are quite experienced and learn both how to work around the bullet spread factor as well as your own personal lag to the server you are on.

As for planes, most of the good pilots come from flight sims, and call the plane physics and controls adequate but overly simplistic. Almost nobody says the planes are too hard, unless they are using old 1980's arcade games as their reference point.

And as far as no teamwork goes, what sever are the naysayers playing on? I have no idea. The EA servers have friendly fire off, and the private servers usually have a moderator that will kick or ban troublemakers.

The demo is fun and will give you an idea of the game's possibilities, but please note that there have been several patches which improve the netcode and adjust the weapons balance. Don't bother with the single player demo - the developers have said all along this game was written to be a multiplayer game. The single player mode is basically just for practice.

The few bad reviews give a false impression of the game. Buy it NOW - but be prepared to be glued to your PC.

Summary: Death or glory await...
Review: Ingredients:

1 part Medal of Honor
2 parts Saving Private Ryan
50 gallons high octane tank fuel
Decorate with assorted bullets and shells

Armchair soldiers of the world rejoice - at long last, a comprehensive and damn near exhaustive attempt at bringing large scale, semi-realistic 3D warfare to the PC.
Veterans of EA's Medal of Honor series will be right at home with the basic setup; grab one of five kit bags, with appropriate weapons and equipment from Medic to Scout and trudge off to war in a variety of landmark WW2 battles. Where this game really starts to kick in is the quite spectacular scale of these engagements.
Fancy yourself a pilot? Hop into the cockpit of a Spitfire and...well...spit fire at the enemy from the clouds. Always enjoyed the rumble of heavy armor? No problem, find a shiny new Tiger tank with the keys in the ignition. Don't like getting your hands dirty? Swivel the massive guns of a cruiser and rain artillery on the baddies. There's so many amusing ways to frag your friends and neighbours you'll be hard pushed to find more variety in a 3D shooter.

While Battlefield does include a limited single player campaign, its in the online realms that this game really shines. 56k modem users may scrape by in the smaller battles, but you'll need a higher speed connection if you really want to get the most out of this game. Battles can be up to 60 players, but personally I find the 32 player games hit the right balance between scale and teamwork...too many people, and you'll never find a spare tank to play with!

Graphically 1942 doesn't really break any new ground...its certainly not as crisp and detailed as Allied Assualt, but more than makes up for this with the massive size of the playing areas. There's some nice details, such as the swaying trees and dust kicked up by tanks, but you'll probably be too busy ducking from .50 cal fire to notice. The sound is great, with the crackle of machine guns and the whine of dive bombers filling the air. There's also some nice animation from an infantry point of view, whipping out a new magazine for your Thompson carbine and slapping it home, or sneaking up behind an unsuspecting sentry and letting your knife do your talking.

On the downside this is a game that requires a fair deal of cooperation to be really fun...you will find yourself out numbered and outgunned more than once because your smacktard team is busy queing for planes on the other side of the map.

Things can get pretty dull in the single player campaign where the computer AI is sometimes less than helpful (fortunately there are several patches for this game that clean things up a bit)
But, when it all comes together you'll be whooping with joy as your tanks roll into the enemy base, supported by bombers and scout-directed artillery. The new Road to Rome expansion will certainly add new life to this game, plus the multitude of conversion mods that are available from the net, including the much talked about Desert Combat mod.

There's just so many different ways to play, you'll be shaking your head with the scope of this title. It's so well balanced, from crawling through the bushes as a sniper to take pot-shots at artillery crews, to buzzing the treeline with your P-51 Mustang...from the squealing gears as your Panzer IV shifts its gun turret, to the frenzied house to house fighting in the dusty streets of Berlin. Everything you thought was cool about war movies is somewhere in this game...I recommend you lock, load, and deploy right now...

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good game with some glitches
Review: Right to the point, all the missions in the european theater seem to run smoother, than those missions in the pacific theater, for instance Battle for Midway,has very poor frame rate, mouse movement is very choppy. Ea take a look at this problem will you, because a lot of gamers think its their computer, but its not. NEED A PATCH ASAP: disabled military viet nam era vet. Peace: Romeo Henry Faison....a hardcore gamer.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Good Expansion, but low value for the money
Review: This expansion, is good, don't get me wrong. But it seems very lacking. There are very few things which are actually new.

It just feels like it wasn't completed, every new map seems easily recreated if there were a map editor. And most of the weapons and vehicles, while true to their history, seems gameplay-wise, a remodelled version of what was already there.

They also did not see fit to add in any sort of single-player campaign option for the new maps.

Overall it's pretty good, it does expand the map repertoire of the best multiplayer game available, but it just leaves you thinking they should've done more for the $...
