I enjoy this game probably more than I should but then I can’t help it. Both added various new game play modes and design concepts but in my opinion didn’t really offer anything amazing or new in terms of playability. It’s a game for Sunday afternoon when it’s raining and you’re not in the mood for anything to stressful from the gaming library.Īlso released were several expansion packs for the original Battlefield 1942 titled Battlefield 1942: The Road to Rome and Battlefield 1942: Secret Weapons of WWII. The game has a nice choice of vehicles to use and destroy and it’s always satisfying landing that bomb on target or engaging the enemy in a dogfight.Īlthough the game play remains fun (there’s nothing like trying to fly a bomber like a fighter, or seeing the pilot parachuting out of the plane you’re all in) the graphics are looking a bit naff, and the control system seems slow and clunky, especially if you’ve been sitting there playing something newer and shinier. Let’s be honest, running across the vast maps, especially El Alamein, is a tad boring, driving or flying is much more fun and recommended. Some of my favourite scenarios in this game feature air combat. All have certain distinct advantages depending on individual tastes, I tended to stick with Scout and Assault as they move quicker, helpful in making it to the coolest vehicle first or for general running away. Regardless of which side you chose you’ll get a choice of five different character classes to choose from Scout, Assault, Medic, Anti-tank, and Engineer. The Axis consists of Germany, Japan and Italy. The Allies consists of the US, UK, Soviet Union, Canada and the French.

The player can choose to play as either the Allied powers or the Axis powers. Once a team captures a point team members can spawn there, however when a team loses control of all of these points they cannot respawn and if all the players are killed the team with no spawn points loses (deep breath). The main game consists of capturing and controlling certain strategic points on the game map, almost a multiple capture the flag scenario. Even though the game is getting on a bit now, the graphics for one are certainly looking dated I still keep coming back for the odd game now and again, especially multi-player. Awesome little FPS this, many hours of addiction and therapy needed to drag myself away.
