Summary: If you like World War Two Buy the Game Immediatley
Review: In this game you can play as the Russians, Germans, Americans, British, and the Japenese. Each one has their own personal vehicles, like Jeeps, Half Tracks, Aircraft Carriers, Tanks
(Panzers, Tigers, Shermans, Chi-ha's,T-34/85, M10 Wolverine...) There are SpitFires, P-51 Mustangs, Yak-9, B-17's and more. The game will take you to four sets of maps; Africa, Eastern Europe, Western Europe, and Pacific. You get to play such events like Operatiom: Market Garden, D-Day, Berlin, Stalingrad, Battle of the Bulg, Midway, Iwo Gima, Guadalcanal, El Alamien, and more. The are five sets of soldiers; Scout, Assult, Medic, Anti-Tank, and Engineer. For Americans and British, they get such guns as the M1A1 Thompson, M1918 BAR, Colt M1911, and Bazooka. The Germans get MP40, STG44, Panzerschreck, Karabiner 98k and more. The Russians get Bergmann MP18, DP, and more. In the Road to rome Expansion you can also play as the Free French Forces and get the Sten Gun, and the Breda Model 30 if you play as the Italians. You can get the Italian M1 1-39 Carro Armato, American M3 Grant, German Sturmgeschutz, American M3 GMC, British Mosquito, and the German BF 110. Each set charecter has their own job/specialtie. Like the medic can heal people, the engineer can mine, repair, and expack anyone and anything. You can get the American SBD-6 Dauntless, F4U Corsair, and more. it's cool...

Summary: Multiplayer Madness
Review: I have played this game and its expansion pack at my local LAN gaming center, and it is such a rush. With 5 character classes (scout, assault, anti-tank, medic, and engineer), many vehicles, maps, and fast paced play, i would highly recommend it. This deluxe set is a pretty good price compared to what else you see.

Summary: Awesome Game with some flaws
Review: Of all the WWII simulation games out there, Battlefield 1942 is by far the most fun. In the vein of Unreal Tournament, BF1942 is a multiplayer on-line game in which teams of players compete in games such as capture the flag, 'control' type games that require you to hold positions from the enemy, and other such games.The graphics are excellent and the thrill of battle is always there. Playing online is fun, if you can get past some rather idiotic players spewing unintelligable jibberish all over the screen, and players tend to work together to achieve the game goals. There are a few flaws in the game, mostly from the single player perspective. The AI of your computer controlled teammates is, for lack of a better word, retarded. Since the single player game consists of 'Control' missions, you must hold off yor key points from enemy take-over. Unfortunately, your computer teammates do nothing but work against you. More often than not, they kill each other with friendly fire. They are never capable of holding their positions, especially in later levels, requiring you to do all the work for the map. Maps that have 5 or more control points are extremely difficult to handle, especially on your own. Since computer AI is so dumb, you end up having to fight off legions of enemy forces by yourself, most of the time unsuccessfully. Other problems include AI control of vehicles. While it is easier to let the computer teammate take control of a difficult to manuever vehicle such as a plane, often times their flight patterns are bizarre. They will sometimes go off the map(where you will beging to take automatic friendly fire), or just circle one area of the map, not doing anything, while all the action takes place somewhere else. Other examples include manning tanks, with the AI teammate just sitting in one position, not doing anything, while you're stuck on top manning the machine gun. Little problems like that get very annoying, and drag the quality of the game down an entire star. But otherwise, this game is alot of fun. The thrill of fighting in World War II is all there and it is a great simulation. This is probably one of the better computer games available right now. Unfortunately the aforementioned flaws will try your patience and you will have to learn how to be a one-man army while the enemy uses your computer teammates for target practice.

Summary: Game of the year??? Thouroughly disappointed!
Review: I got this game because of all the hype. Also, this is from the singleplayer experience, and not the multiplayer. I've played MOHAA and Ghost Recon a lot, as well as Halo on Xbox, and I thought this would be a comporable game, if not better from all the hype I heard. Its not. There isn't much to it - AI is either too stupid (you can run right past the enemy and wait, and then shoot them in the back before they even notices you're there - or you can crank it up and its too hard (being sniped by someone pretty much invisible). Also, my biggest gripe is I don't like having a very limited amount of time to clear a level. Often when I thought "hey this game is getting fun", the level would end and its on to the next one. They do a poor job recreating historic battles of WWII. D-Day is a joke. HOHAA is much better in that regard. You also spend a lot of time just trying to get to and find the action. How fun is that? Walking around until a sniper kills you. Then, you always have to click a new spawn point - that gets tiresome fast, and you always have to wait between 10 and 20 seconds before you spawn. Also, sometimes the AI grabs the coolest weapons before you get a chance and you're left walking. Things like the boats are sometimes impossible to figure out how to get out of when you're by yourself. Which reminds me, its unrealistic how alone you often are in this game - just you and the enemy it seems - not realistic at all. Other vehicles are nearly impossible to fly and attack with, like the planes. The maps are also so small you fly out of them in a few seconds. Not fun. I gave up on flying the planes several times. The Battleships are also almost always useless as well, as you can't see the shore or other ships you're shelling. This game says its both single player and multiplayer, but its obviously built for multiplayer first, and the singleplayer parts were obviously designed as an afterthought. I feel I was mislead about this game, wish I could get my money back and buy Half Life or Splinter Cell - or I'm hoping the PC Halo or Half Life 2 is cool. For multiplayer, you'd better have a fast machine and broadband, otherwise forget it. Being able to control different vehicles is fun, especially the tanks, but game of the year? I think not. I feel ripped off. If you gave this game 4 stars you've probably never played Halo or MOHAA. Sorry, but I just don't get it.

Summary: Great game, if you have top-notch 'puter and hi-speed cable
Review: If you're reading this, most likely you're debating whether or not to buy this game. My recommendation would be "absolutely." I picked it up a month ago and for a guy who's not addicted to computer games, I've had a heckuva time drawing myself away from this one. To put it simply, it kicks butt. Here's why I think so... I enjoy most First-person-shooters and this one is no exception. The gameplay is smooth and intuitive and the options for attack are plentiful. Each of the 5 classifications of soldiers provide an interesting way to take on the enemy, but none are guaranteed to keep you alive, hence the challenge of the game. Not since Team Fortress Classic have I seen an FPS that has done such a good job balacing the different character classes. (My favorite is the Engineer.) One aspect I really love is the inclusion of vehicles; air, sea and land. They are all incredibly easy to use ,(although a joystick for the airplanes is pretty necessary in order to fly to your full potential), and add a fun, new element of gameplay that you're probably not accustomed to. For example, it's one thing to round a hilltop and see enemy infantry running your way, but you haven't lived until you've had tank turrets tracking you, planes swooping down on your position and enemy battleships launching artillery at you from miles away. To quote a friend, "You know the games a blast when you're sitting in the ball turret gunner position on a bomber, you see a guy in a parachute floating by, and you realize it's the pilot of your plane. Sweeeet." Another pro is the wide variety of maps included. I only have the basic game, (not the expansion), and I'm fully satisfied with the number of map choices I have. Maps range from winter locals to tropical island battles, including a well-made Omaha Beach recreation. A few maps are just a tad too large, but I just don't play those maps very often, so no big deal. One other thing to note is that some people have griped about the system requirements for this game. True enough, you need a top-notch computer to fully enjoy it, as well as hi-speed internet access. Without either of these, it's probably not worth buying at all. (Kind of like buying a Ferrari in a town where every road has 25 MPH speed limits.) But, if you've got a good system and fast Internet access, you're golden. That all said, this is a great game and one I'll probably play for quite a long time. One more note...I had Medal of Honor before this and one reason I held off buying B'field 1942 for awhile was because I figured it was more of the same. Waaaay wrong. MoH is wonderful for single player, but B'field is just leages ahead of MoH when it comes to Multiplayer.

Summary: Don't bother if you don't have a GeForce4 or better.
Review: I played the demo before the game released and the framerate .... on my GeForce2. Then I finally picked it up because of all the hype and it still ..... UT2003, RTCW and Enemy Territory run super smooth on my system with the res to 1024x768. And from what I've seen they're more fun. And how can you have a WWII FPS with no blood? I don't know how this POS got game of the year. It's not all that. Pick up Wolfenstein or download enemy territory for the best WWII sim experience.

Summary: No Better Game
Review: None Better, I always play online, there is usually at least 10,000 players at any given time, not everyone is team oriented, but some are. I even joined a clan where everyone is. Simply best game out, i dont even play MOHAA anymore.

Summary: One of my favorites.
Review: Battlefield 1942 is an excellent game. It has broad flexibility, great player-environment interaction, superb graphics and engrossing historical backing. All things that I look for in a FPS. It allows players to operate any vehicle or weapon system that you can find. This gives you a much greater sense of freedom than in comparable games like Medal of Honor. The graphics are also a step up when compared to similar games. The video card requirements may be higher than many games, but it is worth it. The best feature of all is the feature that allows you to play on different armies, select different insertion points, and select different player specialties. Overall BF 1942 is my favorite FPS. If you like flexible and historical games, then this should be top on your list.
