Battlefield 1942 truly got me onto the PC to play first person shooters. Now a days there are some better first person shooters but this game created a new way of playing in that genre with all sorts of vehicles and great focus on team work. This was also the first game to really incorporate vehicles in successfully and made it a lot of fun to pilot them. There’s just something about jumping into a plane and dive bombing your enemies only to parachute out over an enemy base and jump into an enemy tank and take it over! Visually it wasn’t the prettiest game of its time but it still looked good enough. The environments didn’t have too much detail, but the guns and vehicles looked and sounded great. The music was also perfect for a WWII game sounding epic and heroic. While the single player is nothing more than a practice session for the multiplayer portion of the game, it’s still always fun to just beat up on the computer along with trying new strategies and such. All in all this is one of the greatest first person shooters of all time with great replay ability and the expansions, Vietnam, and Battlefield 2 are solid and add a good deal of content to spice the action up. Definitely a must buy for any PC and/or WWII fan.
