Battlefield 1942

Does anyone still play this game online?

My brother just bought it for me from game in the 3 for £10 deal along with Bioshock 2 and some other game and was wondering whether it was worth installing or not.

Thanks

Not sure how many people still play the desert combat mod but that was awesome back in the day.

Isn't that a BF2 mod, i.e. different game required?

The one I played was definitely for 1942. :confused:

I installed it a few months ago, I got the battlefield trilogy for £4.99 from GAME.
The only people who are playing now are seriously hardcore.

I played it for a bit and then went for BF2 instead. Still absolutely loving that. Just a brilliant game.

Might just install for the laugh then, are there any essential mods that I should install? Any texture packs etc?

Thanks again for info!

BF2 is just desert combat.

But OP get desert combat, it's win.

Desert Combat added so many years of play time to that game

It was ruddy fantastic!

El alamein (sp?) was the best thing ever. I was only 13 at the time too and was blown away.

AC-130 gunship was a blast to use and the bombers in vanilla 1942. Bring back battle of britain.

I was playing DC a few weeks ago, theres about 6 or so servers that still have regulars to keep it going, but the trouble is they have been turned into 'no rules' setups, which makes the games a bit comic book and chaotic...

Good for a nostalgic laugh, but not much more......

Quite tempted for a bash of the games myself again.

Hammer100 · 22 Mar 2011 at 16:42

Still have and play BF1942 and all the addons. Love that game and also still have a bash at BFV every now and then

Nothing much beat the feeling of stealing the tiger from the enemy side on market garden and dragging it back over the bridge.

Miss those days...

For me its the Pacific maps trying to ram the aircraft carrier with one of your own

I'd love to play this again. I was in a BF1942 clan and was an ace pilot, especially in bombers. I loved precision bombing tanks.

If there's still a server running somewhere there will no doubt be someone moaning about the vss. So easy to wind people up with that rifle.

I used to love BF1942. Spent so many hours on dedicated Coral Sea/Battle of Britain servers!

Wish I could find a similar dogfighting game that's not too in depth/simulatorish...
