Summary: You May Want to Skip the Expansions and Deluxe Edition
Review: Battlefield 1942 has seen extroardinary growth in its short time on the PC. Already, it's online numbers have passed up other popular WWII first-person shooters such as Medal of Honor. While it's nowhere close to Half-Life's online population yet, it probably resembles Half-Life's early life more so than other shooters. The game is quickly building a large custom mod community just like Half-Life did and popular themes such as modern desert combat that were never part of the original WWII theme have already built a life of their own. Before you get too excited, there is one important thing to know about this game - it's really only meant for online multiplayer. You can play the game offline by yourself but it's boring with a capital B. And if you truly want to experience the best maps and servers in BF1942, you'll need a high-speed connection such as DSL or cable. If you don't have this connection, don't even bother buying the game because it's not worth it. It doesn't have a typical single player campaign like most shooters, it's basically a platform for large maps and epic WWII shoot 'em outs. Epic as in 64+ player maps, all-out vehicle combat including fighter planes, battleships, submarines, infantry, tanks and jeeps ALL in the SAME battle! The game has never flowed as smooth as other online shooters for me, and I found more lag issues with BF1942 than other recent games, but I hear EA has been busy patching up most of the frequent problems. One unfortunate selling practice with EA though is that they tend to release plenty of expansions for any popular title. Honestly though, I don't know if you really miss that much sticking with the original BF1942. As I stated earlier, there is already a huge custom mod community for this game so even those with only the game itself can experience new maps and game formats. There are already plans for official Vietnam and Star Wars themed games that use the BF1942 engine. This game will be around for a while and if you enjoy the system of play, you'll definitely get your money's worth.

Review: This might be a good game. i'm not sure. i have spent all my time since buying it downloading patches and spending up to an hour trying to connect to a server. and if i do manage to get into a server my ping is so bad i can't even move. i have a T1 connection and the lowest ping i have ever had playing this game is 650. nice try EA

Review: Incredible graphics and missions, awesome online play, and neat as far as the history is concerned. I downloaded the Desert Combat edition www.desertcombat.com and that is really great too. The only problem I have with the game is that it takes forever to load (2.53Ghz P4, 256 meg RAMBUS). It is much quicker on my 1.6gzP4 with 512 DDR ram. So, I recommend 512 meg ram to run this game. By it and you won't regret it if you like first person shooters.

Summary: Broundbreaking FPS
Review: This game is very fun. It has very open game play that allows you to do something different each time you play. If you want to drive tanks, fly planes, command battleships be one of 5 different types of infantry troops (Assault, Engineer, Medic etc.)and relive World War 2 this is for you. The Expansion packs are cool but what is really cool about this game is that EA has put out free maps and is coming out with the 1.6 patch that has more added content and 2 more maps completely free.Including the Expansion packs there is about 35 maps total to play. There is also the Desert Combat mod which is just like a whole new game based on the current war in Iraq which is free to download. I'll stop rambling on about this masterpiece, however I will say one more thing, If you are playing CS or any other FPS its time to evolve.

512 MB SDRAM
200 GB Hard Disk

Microsoft XP Media Center Edition
VisiontTek Xtasy 9800 PRO 256 MB Battlefield 1942 Deluxe Edition is the best online WWII ever

to play. I have played with a slower computer and you need
a 2.0GHz or higher or the game will be slow. You will be online playing for hours with it and it has all the weapons of WWII and the Germens and Jap. You fight Air,Sea and land and it will not get better then that.

Summary: Battlefield 1942 Is Sweet
Review: This is the best game i ever bought. I play it every day and i cant belive how relistic it is. It beats other games because in most games like Medal of Honor your health is way to high and you dont die very fast. I played Allied assult and dident die after a german fired three rifle rounds in me. But In battlefield I took one shot and was down for the count. That is what I look for in a WWII game. Also You can drive subs, ships, planes, bombers, tanks, jeeps, apc's etc. and run around with a tomson and blow the heck out of people. That is what sets this game apart from others. Pros
weapons are cool
can drive any vehicle
realistic
lots of guns
online Cons
Need good grafics card
loads kinda slow Overall
Buy it there are more pros than cons. If you like WWII and dont buy this your Insane!

Summary: Best online play
Review: This game is an awesome buy. With all the variety offered in weaponry and operation of equipment, it is great to play online with other human players. You can get really involved with strategy and different roles. The downside is the single-player mode. All the missions are nearly identical and it gets very dull after a short time. I see it merely as training for the online play.

Review: Battlefield 1942 is a great game, you get to fly planes, drive tanks, ships, jeeps,and use alot of weapons. This game is best when played online. The single player isnt that good because the enemys and your soldiers are all dumber than rocks. If your looking for single player get Call of Duty.

Summary: This game is worth it!
Review: Steven D Reilly, you've got a screw loose! This game provides all the action you could ever want in a war game. Not only does it work almost flawlessly on its own, the connections for multiplayer work just fine as well. There's no more than two minutes of load time, and that's only when I'm playing a large map with secret weapons and multiple players hooked up through a network! I play this game almost every day, and I've never had a problem! From high-flying action to crawling prone against the face of a hill, trying to sneak up on the enemy, this game is the ultimate in first-person war games! A MUST BUY for all you gamers out there!!!!!
