2 stars (Not What I Thought I Was Getting. . . .) - I ordered this after playing, and beating, all of the difficulty levels of Medal of Honor and Call of Duty. From what I've read, this was supposed to be the motherload of WWII simulations.
I installed it and played it today. It wasn't what I was expecting. I like the first person shooters, like COD. This was more of a, well, battlefield. (I know. Duh.) Anyway, if you are into playing online with a whole bunch of people and not really having story lines, per se, to follow, this may be for you. If you like shooters like COD and MOH--with a definite "path" to follow, you might want to rethink this.
The game's effects are spectacular, but I just don't have the grey matter to figure it all out. I'm unistalling and going back to MOH. Battlefield does a whole bunch of things, including overwhelming me.
4 stars (Great Multiplayer Action) - Even though it's showing its age, Battlefield 1942 is still a great multiplayer experience. I hust bought a new iMac G5 and my PC friends still wanted to game with me. After I installed the Desert Combat 0.7 modification we were off and playing online again. The only real issue is that even with a 2.0 Ghz G5 and 1.5 GB of RAM, it struggles against 49 bots on an enemy team. Just play online against humans or keep the bot count a bit lower. I like the ability to play with my Windows using friends.
5 stars (BF1942 is amazing) - wowwww!!! i love playin this game even without the expansion pack its amazing. In BF1942 the war doesnt come to you, you have to find enemys using tanks, jeeps, humvees, planes,(which are so much fun to fly and parachute out of.) And its actualy realistic war. You dont die every three seconds and you can call out commands using the f butons. Itts a really awesome gamefor those of you who are seeking reallistic battle. And also make sure to get secret weapons of wwII the expansion pack . its CRAZY. |
