Anybody Out here played this game ? ( or still play it ? ) It's not as gritty as other WW2 games like COD1,2,&3 but it has it's appeals specifically if you've been wanting to play other roles without a clear story line. It's fairly old but it still is fun, so who's played this game before ? and who's still playing ? here's my info : aye anybody out there to add to my friend/foe list ? -cheers

I Love battlefield 1942!!!! We used to have a clan on there called "ChaosKrew".. in my opinion it's the best WWII game out there just because you can fly planes + shoot from the back seat I guess WWII Online comes kinda close to it but that game lagggs unless you have a rich man's connection. YES I PLAY!!!

You know what, I have to share this. One time when I was playing an online game at wake island my plane was shot dead but didn’t blow up right away. So, I bailed out and Para-jumped. I was an anti-tank troop with the bazooka.
I saw the guy that shot me down and figured I’d shoot a missile at him. I didn’t think it would hit him… but it did and it killed him. His burning plain then went smashing into his comrades plain. It was the coolest accident I’ve ever seen!

Thats funny.. I think my most memorable game play incident is when my plane was on fire so I bailed out and I could see the guys who shot me down running to where I was going to land, so when I landed I got in a jeep and headed towards them.. I hit all three of them and killed them in one fell swoop, that was so awsome and I was laughing so freakin' hard when I did that, shortly after I got kicked for hacking, it's kinda funny though cuz those were my first three kills and I had 8 deaths, hacking..??

We always used to turn FF off and do stunt derbys. There's a place on market garden where you can have an engineer drop all his detpacks at the crest of a small hill. Then you have another guy (on the same team), get in a jeep, drive down this really big hill and starts going up the little hill with TNT on it. Right when the jeep is over the TNT, the engineer detonates it and the jeep will fly over the bridge. Endless laughs.

You can do it with a tank too!

I had BF1942 and the Road to Rome expansion, they're good games, but are child's play compared to WW2 Online blitzkrieg. Check it out, theres a monthly fee, but if you like BF1942, WW2OL will knock you out of your seat.

I play TAW clan on occasion but I stick mostly to 5th MRC midway ( 2 PT boats docked in the island make it interesting ) you'll find me playing medic or engineer most days, haven't played this week because I got some business to attend to. My favorite map happens to be the new Invasion Of The Philippines, as for Servers, since nowadays there isn't 2k+ people online, simply filter by population and you'll find our server up near the top of vanila BFs, I also play the expansions but mostly on the side ( I used to mod BF 1942, did some HUD icons and skins for EOD,DC,DCX,BFP,GC, & FH ) I've changed most of the stock skins into high resolution bitmaps appropriate to each map ( rangers,marines, japanese navy,etc. ) all are PB compliant but I have no intention of releasing it for public ( unless the clan releases a map pack etc. )

I dont have the IP address but you don't really need it, the server name is in caps under the map "battle of britain" and is also a dedicated server, is on 24/7 only on that map, it's very easy to find.. -Eddie

Hmm Road to Rome is a great expansion, not child's play if you can find a good server to play in ( ever try to hold or assault monte casino on a full 64 player server ? it can get hectic) the general appeal is it doesn't take a souped up computer to play it ( certainly helps if you got a nice rig ) besides the mod system truly is the lure here, you can just jump from one mod to another if you got the files ( from vanilla BF to Forgotten hope, to battlegroup 42 to band of brothers it's all in there) gotta love the fact that servers are free ( or hosted on one's comp )

Hey I know this is a dead thread, but to everyone who has this game on here, can we schedule a date and server that we can play on one day. I think it would be really fun. Thanks -Thomas
