    Игра, с которой началось моё знакомство с шутерами. Игра с тем самым мультиплеером, который даже вдвоём было интересно играть по локальной сети

    The first Battlefield I played. The game is set in World War II and one of the first games in this style.

    I was reminded of historical settings when I played this edition.

    One of the best Games of the Series and a true cornerstone to the Battlefield Franchise! Buy!

    За что 9: у меня был коммутатор (трещалка) и играть онлайн можно было без глюков. А это уже достижение для 2021г.

    Но такие войны это печально: потому и -1.

    One of the most iconic online FPSes of all time. Like most of the Refractor engine BF games, the single player doesn't have a campaign and is basically the online player maps but with bots. Set in WW2, it offers a great selection of weapons, vehicles, maps, and factions to play as.

    Onto the modding side of the game, Desert Combat is the greatest mod for any of the BF games and had a significant influence on future titles post BF Vietnam. The game has aged significantly and important mechanics in core gameplay are absent (eg sprinting, reviving, etc) but the fun factor is still there. The BF series have come a long way but 1942 is still one of the top 5 BF titles.    … Expand

    В принципе неплохо для своего времени, я думаю игра в 2002-2003 сделала в своем роде революции в плане игры стенка на стенку, довольно занятно побегать пару карт, но в 2020 конечно все смотрится уныло, что по графике, что по физике. Но если смотреть на геймплейные качества, то я от себя готов поставить игре 8/10В принципе неплохо для своего времени, я думаю игра в 2002-2003 сделала в своем роде революции в плане игры стенка на стенку, довольно занятно побегать пару карт, но в 2020 конечно все смотрится уныло, что по графике, что по физике.

    This game was my childhood! I'll always remember it because of the good and funny moments this game gives. Also it's a very realistic battle experience of WWII, except the graphics, everything is great. I liked it very much, hope some day will be remastered, because i would buy it without doubt! Great game 10/10!

    This one was right up my alley back in the day. Played countless hours and have very fond memories of it. This was a big thing for my generation, everyone (who was a gamer) played this.

    Игра хороша. Компания в игре отличается от других шутеров. Победа будет при конце вырождений у команды, что видел только потом уже у Star Wars Battlefront.

    Amazing!!! Battlefield 1942 was Really a first of its kind. Mixing FPS and Full on battlefield scaled warfare. I mean anything from medic sniper assault etc to jeeps, tanks, artillery, to airplanes, helicopters, bomber, to aircraft carrier, submarines, battleships and the list goes on and on. It was epic battlefield experience and stupid battlefield games today are SO LIMITED

    В компьютерных клубах игра не была популярна, интернета не было, и в мультиплеер приходилось играть с ботами, но даже так это было интересно, первый на моей памяти массовый мультиплеерный шутер с техникой.

    This was one of the best games of 2002, and did a pretty fine job of expanding on the innovative mechanics first introduced in Codename Eagle 3 years beforehand.

I'm not even sure if people still play this game, but I am sure that the multiplayer here was great. Allowing players to take control of tanks, jeeps, and combat planes. Allowing players to snipe across huge maps, or lay down fire with a plane down on a sniper nest. All of it really tied together to bring a realistic war experience that encouraged cooperation between players to win the day. Battlefield 1942 is overall a great multiplayer experience.… Expand

    Best game ever. Used to play it 6 hours a day. I didn't even study to play this game. My grades dropped and I lost weight because I kept forgetting to eat. I reached a point where I weighted 65kg (my height was 1.83m at the time).

    10/10

    PS: I am doing well now. I have a degree in IT and I weight about 75kg (my height is 1.87m)

    I played this for countless hundreds of hours for 6 years before the servers got too empty. It was one of the most fun games I ever played (bar Quake). It was more action orientated, unlike it's successors, which are more hide and seek orientated.

    So this is where Battlefield all started. It's really great. Now I want DICE to make Battlefield 1944 with the Frostbite engine! We really need WWII shooters back.

    While the game has 2 big problems it won't effect the game from getting a low score.The game gets a 9/10 for its extremely fun game play experience.That is why I recommend you to play this game now.You can download this game for free by having an origin account.And once you already have an origin account go to free games and you can see the Battlefield 1942 download for free.So try downloading this game now and have fun.    … Expand
