BattleField 1942 Info!

Alright Guys Here Goes.

The Fiercest Battlefield Ever Created

In Battlefield 1942, you will experience the heat of battle as you heroically storm the beaches of Normandy, drive a tank across the deserts of northern Africa, pilot a fighter plane during the Battle of Midway, command a battleship at Guadalcanal, or parachute and commandeer a jeep in operation Market Garden. It is the only first person, team-based action game that places you in the midst of a raging WWII battle with 35 "machines of war" for you to control. You’ll arm yourself with the sidearm of your choice and get behind the wheel of a variety of vehicles, ships and aircraft to fight the war on land, sea, and air during some of the most famous and pivotal battles of the Second World War.

The fighting in Battlefield 1942 takes place in all four theatres of the Second World War: Western Europe, Eastern Europe, The Pacific Islands, and North Africa. Using most robust 3D rendering engine available, the proprietary Refractor 2 engine, Battlefield 1942 recreates these theatres in stunning detail.

In addition to the multiplayer experience, Battlefield 1942 offers intense single player action. Going against unscripted advanced artificial intelligence bots, you’ll never play the same game twice.

Key Features


Machines of War. Pilot a heavy bomber over the drop zone or engage in a dogfight in a swift fighter. Fire the guns of a mighty battleship or prowl the sea-lanes in a silent submarine. Charge across the desert in a powerful tank or transport troops into the heat of battle in an armored APC.

Battle Online. Go online with up to 64 players to take part in a raging battle that requires teamwork and cooperation from each member in order to achieve victory.

Specialized Character Kits. Enter the battle as one of five specialized character classes - assault, medic, scout, anti-tank, engineer - each with unique strengths and weaknesses.

Arm Yourself for Action! Choose from 19 authentic WWII handheld weapons to take into battle, including 2 stationary machine guns.

A Global Conflict. Wage war across 16 huge, highly detailed maps from 4 WWII theaters - North Africa, South Asia Pacific, Western Europe and Eastern Europe

Unlimited Action. 3 multiplayer modes - Team Deathmatch, Capture the Flag, and Conquest -- as well as a robust single player experience.

"tooking off the EA site"

[Dark]

looks kewl... hope i get US version. is the game cut or uncut?

like for the german country, RTCW is cut too in multiplayer :)
all flaggs are cutted, is this in BF1942 too?

btw dont post one of this flaggs here hehe, MPC.de is in germany and german laws....... lol

[Adam12]

Yeah my friend told about that law, I think it stinks. I don't know if it will but theres a good chance.

Sorry if I post Flags in pictures, I really didn't mean too if i did lol:p

[Zero]

there will always be someone one in one of those country's (where the schwastica is banned) who will make a mod/patch with all the files from the uncut version. yep.... only in America can u you fight a war to defeat an "evil" ideal in another country then turn right around and defend it in your own country. :devious:

[KeKs]

2 of my friends have it (germany)
and it starts to go down tolike 1fps-0.5fps after a bit of playing

and they got like kick ass PCs

You know why?
iam downloading it now but my PC suxx....ok UT2003 works but hey ill try

[Adam12]

I just posted the minimum system requirements. Make sure all your drivers are updated, or the game might not run at all, It's all in the video card, if you ask me!

[KeKs]

haha it runs on my PC but not my friends ones

I have a question , is there an ability to shoot the crew of a tank from outside? like shooting into the windows or dropping nades into the tower?

[Zero]

man i tried that. it's supposed to be like that is what i was told but couldn't get it to work.... bah. plus heres a patch i found for the demo to unlock the jeep and halftracks.... but no tanks anymore and the bots seem stupid as hell without the tanks to drive. well... the bots sucked to begin with but it's an awsome game besides that. mainly for all the vehichles and the realism. but here ya go. enjoy. BTW the jeep rules.

and i've been told the geforce 4 isn't working very well with the game... they supposed to fix it by the release though.... so if they have gf4's thats problably it.

[KeKs]

yes they do hafe GeFo. 4s Haha LoL

I finnaly shot a brit ,in this tank, it was funny , the tank was driving circles.
I did it with the german scout.

but it olny worked once.

[FaktorZero]

is that game really that good?
Multiplayer demo?

[Adam12]

yes it is, its worth the download. The game is just awsome. I for one cant wait till the full ver comes out so i can do some good old dog fighting.

[Sephiroth2002]

the net code is messed up though and they claim they re gonna have 60 somthing ppl in a game wow i hope they fix the netcode its really laggy.

[-=Son-Gohan=-]

Well for all that movement going around its a pretty good netcode and if you mean the lag on the ships (you now ship is moving you are walking but you dont seem to get forward) thats a hardware issue so dont blame the netcode for that.

And for me i never have lag problems really nice ping from 50 and down just find a low ping server and you fine.

But 64 is alot and if this game is able run 64 people with maybe some lag it will kick ass..

O and if you want too see a server with bad netcode try command and conquer renegade that netcode sucks ass.

THAT is SO right !!!!!! If he wouldn't have said that I would have! I think the netcode is pretty good if you compare it with other games!

[-=Son-Gohan=-]

Thx man but it is true those who say its a lag game get a better connection them because its not i have played so many games and this game (EVEN DEMO) has great netcode remember your playing on HUGE maps with Boats, tanks, and planes and people at the same time so hell to those who call this game a lag game.
Oke oke i admit i still think and believe cs has the best netcode out there i rarely have high pings i most of the time play with ping like 20 or lower at really fast servers and 30 to 40 ping at normal servers (no joke) so i cant complain but then again there are ALOT of cs servers out there and that is your common problem with most game not to many servers with cs there is always a server that gives you very good ping always unless your on a 56k modem then you may have some trouble sometimes.

And about the system specs i play the game at 1600x1200 in max detail at 59fps so i dont have to worry about that problem infact i think i can even play doom3 at pretty high quallity when it comes out and your system is not even that bad if you dont want to spend to much money but want to get a little well a big deal faster try buying a gforce 2 tit500 its not that expensive anymore and its by far the best card in its price class out there and you probably want to get a new harddrive to there not to expensive anymore these days mine 80GB 7200rpm cost about 100 bucks oke i know if you dont have a job and still go to school it might be a problem otherwise try to convince your parents to buy you atleast a new video card that should take alot of your problems away and clear up some hd space dont know what the max is of your hd but freeing up to 2gb is the best thing to do (depends how big your swap file is going to be and how big your virtual memory is) that should get you on your way..

If your really want to spent money go for the big ass videocards like gforce4 or radeon (dont know its number i dont care about readon) Both do great or wait a little well for the new radeon and gforce 5 wich should be coming out somewhere at christmas then the mhz of your cpu can go on for 2 extra years probable but then you really need to upgrade it also putting more memory in your system will help putting 256 mb extra in should help a big deal.
