There is a single player campaign, but that really hasn't stood the test of time. Your kills, deaths and captures are recorded so you can compare your achievements with other players. You capture flags in bases simply by being near the flag pole, and the more players near a flag, the faster you capture. You can play as a 'lone wolf', but it's much more fun and interesting playing cooperatively. There are a variety of vehicles that spawn on the maps during a game, from jeeps to fighter planes.īattlefield 1942 encourages teamwork, whether it's two or three players teaming up to man a tank and guns, or just infantry storming a base with sniper cover.
The different classes of soldiers you can play are well balanced against each other, with snipers, infantry and so on. It's much more accessible than Battlefield 3, and you won't feel outgunned by players with superior firepower.
Capture the flag in Battlefield 1942 is one of the best online multiplayer games of all time. Set on a variety of now classic maps in World War II, Battlefield 1942 looks its age, but the creaky graphics can't diminish the excellent gameplay.
