I've tried other Battlefield games over the years. None felt near as fun as this and Vietnam. Even playing alone, the bots were decent enough to play against that I loved it. The few times I got to play LAN multiplayer have some of my favorite childhood memories in it. Driving a jeep straight at a tank and bailing while my friend was distracted shooting at the tank before it slams into and blowing up still brings a smile to my face after all these years.

I have such fond memories of this game from back in the day. I like the naval maps and being able to pilot the ships around, not just small patrol boats, actual ships.
Simplesmente a frente do seu tempo,mapas gigantescos, divertido e com gráficos simples ,fui jogar o Battlefield 2042 e ficou horrível nem parecia Battlefield acho até que se pegasse o 1942 e colocar para vender de novo vai vender mais que o 2042.

Played almost every Battlefield game since this one, but this is the one that started it all for me, also for the FPS genre in general, other than maybe Half-Life and Counter-Strike. Love the other Battlefield games, but none has felt as sandbox-y like this one, and often having maps that are totally unbalanced just to be somewhat accurate to the battle is amazing. It's not as much a competitive game as it is a creative game.

I play my whole childhood in this game on forgotten hope mod with friends and brother. There are so many memories to tell but its hard to describe it with details. Very fun gameplay was on wake island, midway and battle of britain where with friends we jump on one vehicle and fight.
Battlefield 1942 was an amazing thing to experience. It is difficult to put into words just how much fun it was. I was never able to get into 6v6 games. You could be playing something like this, where you can group together in an LCVP boat, land on a beach and try to take objectives. Parachute out of a plane together during Operation Market Garden. Secrets weapons of WWII! There is just so much here that so many will never experience. Battlefield 1943 had people playing up until the very last moment when the server shutdown, and that only had 20% of the content that '42 had. This game deserves better and should not be forgotten.
