A review by savetehhaloz of a fun and addicting game that has the perfect combo of infantry and vehicle combat.
User Rating: 9 | Battlefield 1942 PC
Battlfield 1942 is one the best WWII shooters to date. The game features many vehicles including aircraft, tanks, jeeps and even boats and ships. Five years after its release, Battlefield 1942 is still going strong with a multiplayer community that still hasn't left the WWII theater into modern combat (Battlefield 2). Battlefield 1942's engine however, shows its age with character modeling that rivals Grand Theft Auto 3. This shouldn't put you off from trying it out since the perfect combination of non-linear tank and infantry combat makes for a real great gaming experience. Its that simple; you can choose any of the different character classes (Sniper, Officer etc.) and immediately hop into any vehicle you see; like a tank of airplane. Its "singleplayer" features different maps with their respective teams like the Axis and the Russians on Kursk and the Axis and the Americans on Iwo Jima and Omaha Beach with bots. The bots aren't the brightest of things and do really stupid stunts like standing in the path of an airplane taking off or randomly throwing grenades at a tank with their teamates nearby. Multiplayer is where the real fun starts; the openess of the maps and the variety of vehicles and weapons will provide a classic gaming experience that any player will enjoy.
5 years later, Battlefield 1942 earns itself an excellent score of a 9.0.
