In Battlefield 1942, you will experience the
heat of battle as you heroically storm the beaches of Normandy, drive a tank
across the deserts of northern Africa, pilot a fighter plane during the Battle
of Midway, command a battleship at Guadalcanal, or parachute and commandeer a
jeep in operation Market Garden.
It is the only first person, team-based
action game that places you in the midst of a raging WWII battle with 35
"machines of war" for you to control. You?ll arm yourself with the sidearm of
your choice and get behind the wheel of a variety of vehicles, ships and
aircraft to fight the war on land, sea, and air during some of the most famous
and pivotal battles of the Second World War.
Battlefield 1942 features
incredibly large and detailed maps that support up to 64 players simultaneously.
The fighting in Battlefield 1942 takes place in all four theatres of the Second
World War: Western Europe, Eastern Europe, The Pacific Islands, and North
Africa. Using most robust 3D rendering engine available, the proprietary
Refractor 2 engine, Battlefield 1942 recreates these theatres in stunning
detail.
In addition to the multiplayer experience, Battlefield 1942
offers intense single player action. Going against unscripted advanced
artificial intelligence bots, you'll never play the same game
twice.
Battlefield 1942 is online, multiplayer gaming at its finest.
Machines of War

35 historically accurate WWII vehicles and fight a raging battle on land, sea or
air! Pilot a heavy bomber over the drop zone or engage in a dogfight in a swift
fighter. Fire the guns of a mighty battleship or prowl the sea-lanes in a silent

choices you make.
