BF2S Forums [Battlefield 1942] Teamwork, Serious Business

I just reinstalled 1942. I forgot how much fun flying V1s into things is

Better than BF2, indeed.

Agreed. BF1942 is awesome, particularly flying. BF2 dogfighting doesn't hold a torch to Bf1942 dogfighting.

I sucked at dogfighting in BF1942, never figured out the hit detection. That said, I freaking <3 that game. I think Im gonna go reinstall.

The Bf2 dogfighting is pretty boring when the J10 does nothing than drop flares and all the missiles go back the J10 and under and hit the ground.
The 1942 was pretty awsome no missiles evry jet was good as the other.

I remember being a sniper and the guy in the Defguns would spam "Artillery requesting a target!" I'd spot him, and he'd go "Haha. Very funny, you fucker." I loved circle sniping (I think that's what they called it) on the bunkers. Ahhhh *reminisces*

Not true! The corsair had superior handling while having weaker guns, but the Zero was vice versa. I loved those moments when you'd line up the perfect burst into the cockpit, where like five shots would send the other plane in flames.
Third edit: come to think of it, the sniper could have been spotting something on the beach, but he might have clipped the edge of the bunker instead.

Teamwork would've made that game infinitely more fun but even so, it doesn't have nearly as many things to complain about as BF2 does (well, maybe that unarmed vehicle passenger thing that got fixed in BFV). I would've loved if you got a bunch of hardcore gamers together and got a really good map of Forgotten Hope in. That mod was just plain fun to explore.

I never played FH, but I heard the FH Omaha map is HUGE. I'd be happy to join some BF2sers in some hardcore BF1942 pwnage. (Dibs on the Zero)

Seems like it's a good game by the posts. I started the series with bf2 so I probably missed out on the best game.

Yes, yes you did.

Yeah, Battlefield 1942 was, no IS great, graphics may suck, but it came out over 5 years ago. Still love that game.

First FPS game I had. I used to play Midway all the time!

How many servers/people still play? I might uninstall 2142 and put 1942 on instead

Got some great memories of 1942/DC with a mate at his house. Very funny situations can arise from that, much like BF2.

Except you could be an asshat with the ships.

DC? I love Bridge. But the air maps blew.
