Battlefield 1942 Company Line
Get more information about the game.
Battlefield 1942 is online, multiplayer gaming at its finest. Be brave and never falter, your fellow soldiers are counting on you.
You will experience the heat of battle as you heroically storm the beaches of Normandy, drive a tank across the deserts of northern Africa, pilot a fighter plane during the Battle of Midway, command a battleship at Guadalcanal, or parachute over Market Garden.
Features:
- Machines of War - Other games force you to choose from a machine gun, rifle, grenade, or pistol as you enter a combat zone. Battlefield 1942 also lets you get behind the wheel of 35 historically accurate WWII vehicles and fight a raging battle on land, sea, or air. Pilot a heavy bomber over the drop zone or engage in a dogfight in a swift fighter. Fire the guns of a mighty battleship or prowl the sea-lanes in a silent submarine. Charge across the desert in a powerful tank or transport troops into the heat of battle in an armored APC. The outcome of the battle depends upon the choices you make.
- Battle Online - Go online with up to 64 players to take part in a raging battle that requires teamwork and cooperation from each member in order to achieve victory.
- Choose Your Side - Enter the war as a soldier in one of five different armies - U.S., German, British, Russian or Japanese.
- Specialized Character Kits - Enter the battle as one of five specialized character classes--assault, medic, scout, anti-tank, engineer--each with unique strengths and weaknesses.
- Arm Yourself For Action - Choose from 21 authentic WWII handheld weapons to take into battle, including two stationary machine guns.
- A Global Conflict - Wage war across 16 huge, highly-detailed maps from four WWII theaters--North Africa, South Asia Pacific, Western Europe, and Eastern Europe.
- Unlimited Action - Three multiplayer modes--Team Deathmatch, Capture the Flag, and Conquest--as well as a robust single-player experience.
