Battlefield 1942

[Lkr]

I'm getting it tomorrow morning at EB Games with all the expansions for only $20 new. Does anyone here play? I know Pilot does, I think mormon does, but not sure. Either way, is a great game, and I'll have more fun with this than Battlefield 2, right?

It depends on your tastes, but personally I think it's one of the best FPS's available.

do mics work? even though my mic is a piece of crap, its always nice to communicate

Just about everyone uses Teamspeak when playing BF1942, especially clans. There's no built-in voice support, but using separate programs is generally better because there's more options.

Best FPS would have to go to Call Of Duty 2.

you have to mean not the best. Even SOCOM is better than Call Of Duty 2, even though SOCOM prolly qualifies as 3rd person...oh wait, Counter-Strike and Source is better, so is Half-Life and Half-Life 2 ;)

Well there's a lot of FPS's that all they do is soldier fighting, so that's not as easily the case. From what I've seen MoH:AA is rated the highest in that area, at least for WW2 FPS's. My personal favorite of that style would need to go to UT2004, but Raven Shield is really close too, and Quake 2, and then maybe the Half-Life series. BF1942 is the one and only game I constantly keep coming back to with a massive addiction, although it's faded a little it still meets up with the intensity of my newer addictions, and about the same as or a little less than my Q2 addiction was back in the day of my 350MHz. BF1942 is the only game that survived masses of other FPS's, including (besides what I already mentioned) BFV, BF2, XIII, W:ET, CS:S, and countless other genres and demos. I give the credit to the many things you can do like flying a variety of planes and driving jeeps/tanks/ships, and there's the ease of map making and the ability for insane stunts (the two things, besides the greatness of BF1942 itself, that got me to make a stunt map). I'd almost go as far as saying you aren't a hardcore FPS gamer if you never played BF1942 addictively.

When you are up tomorrow pilot, how do I setup my joystick for 1942, and how do I install your map? Also, I got it fully calibrated, so I'm all ready :)

Yeah, i think this is largely based on opinion. Might you want to give your reasoning to your judgement?

lol man, dont take it personally, it is all just opinion. ive played CoD2 on PC at a friends house and on 360 and neither of em seemed fun to me...so yeah, its just all opinion and taste
