BF1942

Hey

Just wondering if BF1942 still has a good mp base online, or have people moved to BF2? Didn't really get into BF2 but the original was a laugh, so wondering if I should get as I can get it pretty cheap?

Thanks

Raz

hi,
ive just installed bf myself.....it seems pretty damn quiet compared to bf2
even the forgotten hope(fantastic mod)servers are more empty than what they used to be,however the ones that do get regular use are usually very good.

hmm...might still get it though. Graphics etc might be a bit outdated, but unless most players are tkers etc then it should be ok.

Got it recently, the general play level is not as high as it once was, but still fun on the servers I have been onto.

Most of the 'kids' are on BF2 now.

i though that something called 'desert combat' was suppose to be a really good mod. ive just got the WW2 collection, so bf1942, mohaa and secret weapons over normandy (rubbish)

I got that too, £3.33 for MOHAA and BF1942 was just such a good buy!

aye, desert combat was awesome in its day..and some would say that it still is! imo bf2 is like a glorified d/combat in that its full of tanks/apcs etc. if yer on broadband it might be worth a download...nothing to lose really.

Hi i was part of a bf1942 clan for about 3 years then we moved on to BF2 - latley we have been going back and playing 1942 and i have to say im still really impressed with the game play ( although there are allot of TK'ers on there now ) if you find a good server its great fun

The Uni of Teeside still has a great DC server (well it did last time i checked)

The team behind Desert Combat were hired by EA to become a big part of the BF2 team. IIRC

just get bf2 you will not regret it!

Have to justify the cost...£4 for BF1942, a game i'll play now and again. Or ~£27.99 for the same. Might pick up the new Battlefield when it's released though.

Desert Combat was THE game the got me into online gaming. There are a few good servers left, the Mayors clan run a good one.

If you have BF1942 you must get Desert Combat(DC), I cannot stress this enough!

Anyone tried the Galactic Conquest star wars mod? Looks good, but website doesn't appear to have been updated in a while. Any players here? oh and I'm downloading DC too

Raz mate just buy BF2 you won't regret it. I haven't played any other BF titles but this game will just hook you. You should be able to find it cheaper than £27.99 if you look around. I got it for less than £20 new on the high street.

i was in a bf1942 clan for a while but when they moved on to bf2 i cudnt becasue i just thought it wasnt as good as bf 1942. still the best mp game imo but its just not got the same following anymore. the community on there was the best aswell

To be honest, I'm going with BF1942 as it's so cheap...but I'm waiting for a job to get back to me, and if I get it I may as well pick up BF2 aswell

patch it up, and install dc_final - still a couple of servers that are regularly populated and imho the gameplays better than bf2...

I'm still playing Forgotten Hope.
