Description

Battlefield 1942 strives to give players an action-oriented first-person perspective on the wide variety of infantry regiments, advanced vehicles, strategic maneuvers, and violent battles that came together to turn the tide in World War II. The game is designed to represent nearly every major factor in WWII to some extent, featuring all four branches of the military, conflicts in the Pacific and European theaters, and the opportunity to play as an Axis or Allied force.

Monday, December 01, 2008 | happy | Battlefield 1942 (PC)
Andrew and I are playing a game of Battlefield 1942: Forgotten Hope. Were on a huge naval battle map called Rheinuebung.

I'm standing on the deck of the HMS Hood. A young British Naval Officer armed with only my rifle, as I look across the open ocean I suddenly spot the Bismarck off the starboard side of the ship. First, I shit my pants, then proceed to steady my rifle, and start shooting at enemy infantry, or really anything that appears to be moving across the deck of the Bismarck, I even manage to take out a few of the targets much to my surprise!

While the great battle is being fought on the high seas, there is also a rather large aerial battle going on overhead. I suddenly hear the roar of a plane engine coming from the soldier behind me, and Andrew takes off in a British bi-plane and starts circling the map.

As Andrew is circling overhead, the HMS Hood is taking a heavy beating at the hands of the Bismarck, I call for help as at this point I've died a few times, and there are less and less targets for my trouble.

Here's how the conversation went:

Joe: Damn, were taking a beating here, the Hood isn't looking so good!
Andrew: Joe! I'm in the FAIREY!!!!
Joe:... uhhh... Dude... ... ... Don't say shit like that....
Andrew: I guess that didn't sound so good did it!?
Joe: No man... no it didn't,
Joe: And Seriously, who calls a plane a "Fairey Swordfish"!?

There's something in the air on the FH map of Rheinuebung.

It's a new day and the same map. After 2-3 minutes of waiting on the air craft carrier for a plane, I manage to jump into one of the spawning Fairey Swordfishes, Andrew jumps in as my tail gunner.

I hit the throttle, and the plane goes screaming down the deck of the aircraft carrier, just as we leave the deck, a german fighter sprays us something fierce! I can no longer see the damage bar for my plane, I've got a smoke trail that would put most coal fired trains to shame, but were still airborne. Much to my surprise, we spend 10-15 minutes in the air, running back to the carrier to re-arm, and running out to various german ships on bombing runs. Andrew even manages to take out the crew of a PT Boat that was gunning for us. Impressive!

And that's where everything went wrong. Andrew out of nowhere goes:
"I wonder if I can shoot my own tail!?"
*TAK TAK TAK TAK TAK TAK TAK TAK TAK TAK*
*Sizzle Sizzle Sizzle*
*BOOOMMMMM!!!!!*
"I guess that's a yes...."

I turn to Andrew and in my best Sean Connery voice yell:
"I'M SHORRY SUN! THEY GOT USH!!!!"

Once In 1942 I Was In Back of Jeep With Bazooka And! A halftrack was Coming Close. The Driver Who Was Looking Behind him made us ram into a tree we jumped that Hill Crazily! I Survived. I Stole his Medic Pack And Healed Since He Had Thompson I Didn't Care. I Laid Down And Peeked Over The Hill. The Halftrack Was Dead stopped! As I Advanced Closer. A Japanese Started Coming Out In The Distance I Quickly got into Halftrack And Attacked I Got Him When Suddenly! A Japanese Zero You know Zero Type Airplane Appeared. I Quickly Raced For It. When I Got In A Japanese obviously came out of a building shot at the zero. I Quickly got away! And! With MG of Plane Just Shot At Those Enemies Took down 12 Infantry alone. Bombed 1 Tank! Then I Saw A Kamikaze behind me so i parachuted out. Luckily base was pretty close.

possibly the BEST FPS ever made at the time, realistic weapons and nice mods. was second in command of a very small clan there and had fun untill it became a hackfest.

Loved it, good early FPS for people out there, The squad based combat is fun, and the fact that the courses are large enough to traverse on foot, yet enjoy aircraft and other vehicals are overall its major selling points, I highly hope EA games remak

Jaran

The beginning of an awesome franchise, and definitely a defining game in its genre. Loved it.
