  Good Points: Many maps and weapons. Fairly easy switching between them, good graphics and realistic movements of the soldiers in most cases. Addictive. Still a number of internet game links going. Seemingly international game links and players. Easy to learn and some different functions possible in each map. Mostly good conduct by players. Easy to switch game links. Design and realistic terrains, etc. are great.

  
  

  Bad Points: Sometime variable weapons performance against the foes. I can't master the airplane flying. Too many maps have little anti aircraft sites for defense and air power can overwhelm your base, or outposts, with little defense. Campaign maps are not too realistic. You have to go back and forth, fighting over outposts all the time and you can't respawn if the issue is in doubt at any outpost. Some useless vehicles are included, like half tracks and the Japanese version of same.

  
  

  General comments: I admit to being 64 and still enjoy the games. My son gave me a demo, then I found the full version for $10 at an office supply store. Great Value. I like it better than Battlefield 2, which is rather complicated and where your life expectancy is apt to be a lot shorter that BF1942. BF is closer to my experiences than the newer ones. I don't really care for the Desert Combat scenarios.

  Battlefield 1942 (BF1942) is the game I have played THE most in my life, easily. Me and my friends were part of a clan and played this game obsessively for the longest time. Seems near every night we'd hop onto "Ghetto Berlin" or "G-Unit Wake only" server. We'd pick up our medic or engineer kits and off we go. We got so good that if was an absolute shame to us to not be in the top 10 on 64 person servers. We were gods.
  
  BF 1942 multiplay is the best I've ever played. It's strategic, long ...

  Battlefield 1942 is a great First Person Shooter Game. The game had as great World War II historical background, and even my grandfather likes to play it too. The graphics are well-built, and the soldier's faces are real. The wide range of maps also unable gamers to get addicted to this game. The sound effects in the game are fair.

  Battlefield 1942 is AMAZING! I bought it a few years ago, and I am still addicted. The action in this game is so intense, you will find yourself really thinking that you are on wake island when the japanese invade. The game is very fast paced, and there is an abundance of vehicles to dish out destruction from. The best part of this game is the expansions and mods. Secret weapons of WWII adds some awesome, but still realistic weapons. My favorite example is the Sherman tank with the T34 Cal ...

  I got the Deluxe version of Battlefield 1942 for 34.99 with Road to Rome and as soon as I put this in the computer I was addicted. The range of weapons is huge and although short, it has three difficulty settings. Multiplayer is good if availible. However the maps are limited and the Computer AI is sometimes foolish. Overall a great game, can't wait for Battlefield Vietnam!!

  This game all and all is pretty good, but the only thing that really irritated me is they tried to make it realistic with real ammo rations but when you get down to it, this game isnt very linear, they arent really and tasks you need to perform in the game you just run around shooting each other until the number of soldiers on one of the teams hits zero. It was fun though to be able to drive around in tanks, jeeps, and planes. I felt that the game was short and not that hard. This game has had a ...

  Don't know were to start really. I've been playing video games now for about 15 years or so, ok yes I'm nearly 30 but who cares.
  
  BATTLEFIELDS 1942, as you've probably work out by the name is set in WWII and the fighting takes place on four fronts: North Africa, the Pacific plus Eastern and Western Europe. The game is a first person shooter and has a 15+ certification and rightly so, although there is no blood detail, there is plenty of ways to kill the enemy, so parents be warned.
  
  When cho ...

  This is a WW2 game where you can be either the axis or allies and yu can use any vehicle in the game such as battleships to B17's to Sherman tanks. You can either play against the computer or other people online in famous battles such as the battle of the bulge, Operation Overlord (D-Day), the Battle of Midway, to Operation Market Garden. Overall this is the best game i have ever played and THe best $50 I ahve ever spent. I play it all the timeand can't stop for hours. If you like flight sim's, ...
