Michael Dorosh Posted January 26, 2001 Share Posted January 26, 2001 They don't even know how to spell El Alamein? And D-Day and Iwo Jima took place in 1942? And is the medic performing a modern form of CPR? (How's that for nitpicky?) I've seen awesome screenshots for games that were utter crap. They sure don't go into detail into what this game is supposed to be - see my posts in the thread on graphics for further feelings on games that sell themselves by touting their graphics and not their gameplay. Interesting to see, though, thanks for the link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aka_tom_w Posted January 26, 2001 Share Posted January 26, 2001 this is what they have to say for them selves: More Battlefield 1942 Details Unveiled GA-Source readers were the first to learn about Battlefield 1942, now GA-Source has even more exclusive details about this ambitous first-person wargame. Battlefield 1942 recreates the most famous battles of WWII in full 3D, and allows players to experience events like D-day, Iwo Jima, and El Alemien from a first person perspective. The game promises to include action packed multiplayer gaming along with a challenging single player experience. As a strong multiplayer game, Battlefield 1942 pits players against player as two teams struggle for tactical supremacy. The game will offer unrestricted use of fighters planes and bombers, armoured vehicles and ever warships in a first person perspective that will use every aspect of the battles of World War II. The single player section of the game is built on the same premises as the multiplayer game and time spent perfecting skills on one of the games will help players perform well in the other. During single player missions players will learn how to use terrain, vehicles and friendly bots to ensure victory, and the various missions and campaigns will present players with a constant flow of new challenges. Players will be able to choose between joining the Allied Forces of Great Britain, USA and Russia, or the Axis Forces of Germany and Japan. Each game scenario revolves around the most famous and hard fought battles between the Allies and the Axis. The battles of Iwo Jima, for example, pitches the Americans against the Japanese, while the Battle of Stalingrad sees Russia fighting Germans. Battlefield 1942 will support any type of connection, be it modem, serial, LAN or Internet. In addition, the most commonly supported protocols, IPX and TCP/IP, will be fully supported and tested with the game. Battlefield 1942 is in development by Digital Illusion CE, which aquired Refraction Games earlier this year, and is being published by Pan Interactive (in Sweden, Finland and Norway only) for a 2001 release.

Guest Space Thing Posted January 26, 2001 Share Posted January 26, 2001 Correct if I'm wrong. Is this a fps? It looks like it to me. No disrespect intended to those who like 'em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dittohead Posted January 26, 2001 Share Posted January 26, 2001 Hope them oil drums are filled with concrete or old sarge there will be eating a tripod for lunch. I thought John Travolta wasn't going to make a sequel to Battlefield Earth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest KwazyDog Posted January 26, 2001 Share Posted January 26, 2001 Hi Guys, Dont take this the wrong way, but we have many off topic posts at the moment so Im going to lock this one up. We dont mind people giving other games a plug from time to time, but we'd rather not see several all at once Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
