Battlefield 1942: The Complete Collection (Pack) for Windows

Pros: Awesome graphics and realistic game play.
Cons: Power hungry game that requires much more than system requirements on box to enjoy it.

Last winter I got this game and became addicted to it very quickly. I am very interested in the history of World War II and the events surrounding the eventual triumph of the Allied forces over the Axis powers. This game gives some insight to what it ...

Pros: Excellent maps, full of variety. Different classes. Many vehicles and planes to control. Addictive.
Cons: People suck sometimes. Slow load times with low mem.

I never really put much stock in action shooters. Through over ten years of LAN sessions, countless rounds of Doom, Quake, Unreal Tournament, Duke3D and a myriad other mindless blasters, I was always the one suggesting we play Command and Conquer or ...

Pros: Decent visuals, excellent control scheme, exciting battles, massive variety, great sounds.
Cons: Connection problems, steep requirements, horrible single player mode, few online morons.

A couple years ago, a game called World War II Online was released. I thought it would be incredibly cool to be able to take part as a single soldier in what has to be the most interesting war in all of human history. To take command of a tank and rush...

Pros: Great multiplayer game. Not obsolete yet.
Cons: Some noobs online. Not as popular as it used to be. Singleplayer is so so.

 I have been playing off and on BF 1942 and various mods since 2003.  Recently, I purchased Battlefield 1942 The Complete Collection for Windows for my son on ebay.  I’m surprised no one reviewed this combo pack ...

Pros: Great online team gameplay, variety, fast paced, fun, addictive.
Cons: High system specs, uses gamespy, little bit arcade like, addictive.

BACKGROUND

Ok I am not ashamed to admit I love war games, I have for some time. A while ago I saw an ad for WW2 Online, and I was enthralled by it. I followed this game from its beta stages to it going gold, and finally to its abysmal failure...

Pros: Great graphics and sound, perfect AI
Cons: A few graphical bugs

Battlefield 1942 is a first person shooter that perfectly combines action and strategy. It is set during World War II and you take part in fighting some of the actual battles of the war. What makes this game so fun is that not only will you play...

Pros: Brilliant, Wonderful detail. Exciting game play!
Cons: Powerful PC needed to get the full gaming experience, Prone to crashing with slow system.

This is a brilliant game, and anyone who has played the demo will attest to that. It has it all - massive WWII battles, furious action, and more vehicles than you can shake a stick at. Nevertheless, this one will require a T1 and a beast of a machine to ...

Pros: Expansive maps, lots to do, great graphics.
Cons: System hog, No realism, lag can ruin multiplay

After Unreal Tournament became infested with cheaters, I was pretty much done with your standard FPS (First Person Shooter). The gameplay was really starting to blend from one game to another. Sure, Half Life was/is a blast, Quake 1 has no real equal as...

Pros: Great models, highly interactive, variety, realistic, single and multiplayer both great.
Cons: Not the prettiest background graphics, little variety in music.

There are a whole slew of WWII themed games out there. Some like Medal of Honor go for a movie-like experience. Games like Return to Castle Wolfenstein are more survival horror than combat. Then there are games like Battlefield that go for realism. ...

Pros: Loads of fun to play online. Variety of things to soldiers and vehicles
Cons: Some annoying players in online games. Addicting(Is that bad?)

I had seen ads for this game and was looking forward to playing it. Since buying this game, I have basically deserted all my other software (and my wife might say her too). Not really. Anyway.... This game is about action, teamwork, and variety. ...

Pros: Amazing graphics, lots of vehicles to use, great gameplay
Cons: Need a fast computer, maps are small, difficult to remove offensive players

Battlefield 1942 came out of nowhere. I don't follow the game scene much, but I usually know what's being hyped. I must have been asleep, or clicking the Back button in my browser too quickly.

I ended up getting a copy as a birthday present...

Pros: Great multiplayer dynamics; good graphics and atmosphere
Cons: No soundtrack; easy singleplayer AI; Broken mission/game flow

EA Games seems unstoppable with their impressive lineup of successful games. Medal of Honor, the two impressive Lord of the Rings titles, Madden, and Fight Night 2004 just to name a few. But none of those titles (with the ...

Pros: Improved multiplay experience, excellent graphics/audio, ultra realistic
Cons: Choice of chars, random people on multiplayer, I miss running fast, memory hog, cpu/graphics intensive

Cons: Poor offline gameplay, frequent lag and slow load times.

As a hardcore Codename: Eagle fan, I've been waiting for the release of Battlefield: 1942 longer tha ...

Pros: Excellent Gameplay; Great Online Multiplayer (up to 60); Very Stable
Cons: Poor Single Player Mode; Heavy Graphic Requirements

If you are into PC gaming, have a broadband internet connection, and are a fan of FPS's, there is no way you haven't heard about BF 1942. This game came from under the blankets last year, battling the likes of No One Lives Forever 2 and Ghost Recon. No...
