Will BattleField 1942 Claim title of worlds best WW2 game
 

Well if mohaa doesnt pull anything good on their upcoming expansion set for mohaa then battlefield 1942 will claim the title of worlds best WW2 game. But the difference between them is that mohaa is like half fighting big wars and half cover ops. IN BF1942 you fight along side of an army with tanks you can get into planes, Battleships, submarins, jeeps, aa guns and 35 other vehicles and a hole bunch of weapons, ill finish this later, give your opion

I dont think anygame can claim that ever, because games keep coming out.

i think the "best" would have to be a LITTLE more realistic maybe?

Just a tad...well maybe a crapload.

Well im not just saying worlds best im saying who will prevail in a battle between MOHAA and BT1942 Half people thing mohaa is gonna win if their expansion pulls somethin good. Others say the BT1942 will prevail since you can ride any vehicle you see and its not cover ops plus theres like diffrent forces like japan Britain and others. Im not braggen on MOHAA im One question roles through my mind. WHO will win in an ongoing battle MOHAA or BT1942 and im askin peoples opinoin of who will be victor swordfight: swordfight:

different forces who use the exact same equipment except for one or two difference...wee...i'm having fun mommy. mohaa provided me with more fun than bf1942 did.

Well i played Bf1942 and the graphics are nothing to brag about, the graphics look like there from a childs game. I hate there aiming system too i hit a guys in the head with a sniper bullet and he doesnt die? I have to hit him again to kill him. By the time i chamber another bullet he is in a tank coming after me. The game has to have alot of fixes before it even comes close to MOHAA. The only thing i like about the game is that u can drive tanks, plane, cars etc. But other than that it is far from the acheivement of MOHAA.

Ahhhh, whens that game coming out lol. It looks great!

ill reinstall ofp if if1944 comes out freak:

I have yet to encounter a game based on WW2 that dserves the title of the best WW2 game.

it will probably never come out like a lot of TCs

BF1942's gonna need some realism mods bad.

guy...no chance in hell

If it gets the netcode fixed, and the infantry weaponry/damage sorted, then it could well become superior to MOHAA.

The concept is fantastic, and if MOHAA were to include moving controllable vehicles then it would easily be one of the best MP games of all time.

As it stands, both BF1942 and RTCW are better mulitplayer games than MOHAA. zooka:

the weaponry/damage system is fine...i can take out people with a thompson quite easily from such a distance where zoom is nescessary, in about 7 bullets

you need to get used to bullet drift and also the fact that it takes time for your bullet to arrive on target.

I'd rather the aiming system for infantry was ala MOH or RTCW.

Drift I can understand with other units, but infantry drifting ruins that part of the game for me.

I bought BF1942 yesterday, loaded and down loaded the patches.

IMO, this game is only "mediocre" at best and really not worth my time.
The graphics, game mechanics, everything about it (to me) was second rate compared to MOH.

I'm uninstalling it today and taking it back to where I bought it. I won't get full price because the game box was opened, but anything I get will be better than nothing at all and have one more un-played game sitting on my computer desk.

Can't wait until spearhead comes out!

Best WWII game so far: IL-2 Sturmovik. It has more more fliable planes, than the amount of vehicles in BF1942, and after the expansion pack... it will have about over a dozen of new planes. I would also like to honorably mention WWII Online. :P I'm also not expecting any new worthwhile vehicles in BF1942 to be released any time soon.

i get better range shots with the BAR than i do with the rifle, wasn't enough they couldn't give me my god damn garand apparently

gerard aint gonna like it

Blah, I really ws not impressed by BF1942

I felt like I was at the arcade pumping quarters again...

MOH is much more intense, to me. Everything about BF1942 seems childish to me...the explosions, the way the game was played, the ability to use all the different vehicles, the way the guys shot...

UGH, and the graphics ::puke::

No GARAND?? Man, I'm glad I can't run it. That woulda irked me to no end.

I have to have my beloved M1. freak:

Que ?

Que ?

Time to address so of the misinformation in this thread.

eek:

It has more fliable planes? And? Battlefield has a far more varied range of vehicles than just boring planes every other map. Il2 sturmovik may be ok for plane enthusiasts but thats about it. And i hope you were joking about ww2 online. ed:

Il2 planes look ok but the actual maps look shit, its just a collection of green textures and the occasional crappy looking town and military convoy. The maps in bf are a shitload more detailed and look more realistic.

Really? And tell me when did moh:aa become this uber realism game all of a sudden? MOh:aa multi is just as aracde stlyed as bf-1942 although the way the weapons work in bf seems to be more realism orientated as it accounts for bullet drop off and having to lead your target a bit.


[quote:406c8]UGH, and the graphics ::puke::[/quote:406c8]

So you're telling me this pkane model looks like a pile of shite? If so i suggest you get your eyes examined.

The graphics in battlefiled 1942 are not as good as medal of honors for one reason, the massive size of the maps. The largest maps in mohaa don't even come close to being a quarter of the size of the medium maps in bf.

If you want higher polygon models then you're mad, people are having trouble running battlefield on 1ghz plus systems because of the massive size of the maps, if you're gonna add higher polygon player AND weapons models into the equation then i suggest you start saving for a pentium 4 3ghz system with the ati r-350 graphics board and a gig of 3000 ddr ram. The vehicle modles in this game look very good and the weapons models while basic do the job.



[quote:406c8]i get better range shots with the BAR than i do with the rifle[/quote:406c8]

I find it easy enough to get long\medium range kills with almost any weapon aside from pistols obviously :)

Gerard the planes in BF1942 dont look half as good as the ones in IL2.

And? Who said they did?

nah this game blows

Strik0r's sig rules.

anyways, play Mafia or something

Depnds. BF1942 is a game in it's own. It's a good mix of RPG and 1st person shooter. Instead of just the objective of killing one another to win, you must conquer the opponents territory in order to obtain victory. This is what makes the game unique, and fun. Oh, and the vechiles are ok too, I guess, heh (That's sarcasm!)

Flat green textures?! Crappy looking towns?! You need to boost up your detail settings, or get a new video card. There are trees everywhere in IL-2. At least when I'm flying a Stuke, I really feel like I'm flying a Stuka. Where did you get this idea, that the best WWII Game must have the best graphics. The massive plus of IL-2 is that it's REALISTIC. Wow, what a concept! Does BF-1945 even have atmospheric effects? Or any clouds? Are the planes in BF-1942 realistically modelled? The topic said, "Best World War II game", and I'm pretty sure IL-2 is the most realistic and closest to WWII as you can get right now. But anyway, you can go ahead and go play your little frag fest, and I'll be playing my 50+ realistically modelled planes in IL-2. I'm not even going to discuss the utter chaos and retardation in BF-1942. The game sucks, unless you're on a private server or a lan party.

Spooge fact of the matter is tha ANY game can suck online. All it takes is one arsehole to ruin a game for anyone on any server. I never said that the best ww2 game must have the best graphics bf-42 graphics for the most part are a bit cack but the vehicle models and the sheer scale of the maps more than makes up for it.

I don't see how being "realistic" has anything to do with being a massive plus. Compare the amount of arcaade styled games on the market compared to realistic styled games and realism gets driven into the ground through sheer numerical superiority of arcade styled games.

I had the il2 demo which was some strafing mission or some shit but from what i remember the maps looked very basic and there wasn't much in the way of detail. I dunno what settings i was using as it was a long time ago but i might redload it and give it another try.



[quote:1ec83]The topic said, "Best World War II game", and I'm pretty sure IL-2 is the most realistic and closest to WWII as you can get right now.[/quote:1ec83]

I dunno how you figure this. Il2 has ONE vehicle type (that being a plane be it fighter or bomber). Battlefield 1942 has pretty much the majority of the main vehicles used in ww2. Subs half tracks planes bombers destroyers battleships tanks higgins boats artillery cannons flak cannons.

In terms of substance bf-42 prety much shits over anything else on the market as theres so much to do in the game. The demo was populated by retards yes but pretty much any server i go into these days has people working together to accomplish things.

Just an hour or so ago i was on the axis team and we had planes strafing the shit out fo a base while some of us in tanks were in a convoy guarding half tracks full of troops. Granted it might not happen to that degree very often BUT when it does it has a very realistic ww2 look and feel to it.

And for the nay sayers ign had a true quote at the end of their review and here it is.

[quote:1ec83]There are two groups of people who won't like this game. The first are the unfortunate few who simply don't have a powerful enough machine or a fast enough connection to be competitive. The other group would be the misguided minority who just don't like fun.[/quote:1ec83]

I'd have to say the best WWII game is Day of Defeat.

Its by far the most realistic, and pays far more attention to authenticity and realism then any of these other games.

DoD has almost every major WWII weapon, with better skins then BF1942 and MOHAA. And the gameplay is so much better. You actually have to watch your back, stay low and be smart. You would never think of running out in the open strafing back and forth spraying your Thompson.

MOHAA is the best WWII game graphically.

I must say the vehicles and large maps in BF1942 are great. But the infantry combat = barf. Just TRY to hit a moving enemy with the rifle. I've sat prone in one place for a long time wasting countless bullets on enemies running by, and still havent hit one. Even if someone is standing still, it doesnt always take them out in one shot. The rifles in DOD are so fun to use, you can actually hit people. And they usually go down in one hit like they should. It should also NOT take a full clip with the Thompson to kill one guy. I should be able to take out 4-5 guys with one clip (DOD).

I like BF1942...but it just doesnt give the WWII feel DOD does. Its just like mohaa, everyone runs around in the open spraying their assault weapons at each other, complete Deathmatch. Not war-like at all. DOD you actually have to secure an area, and clear out all the enemies before advancing. BF1942 you could just run by a bunch of guys and they probably wouldnt even hit you.

I guess this is just my opinion, but DOD is far more realistic, therefor its more fun. But vehicles definately = win.

Its not worth arguing about peoples opinions towards video games. Of course it will vary between person, and there is no true way to put a title of "best WWII game" onto a game.. because of course it will vary between people.

does "best" matter?
 

all battlefield 1942 would be doing by claiming to be the best is trying to sell more games. I think that there are games that fit into 2 categories:
1) games that SUCK
2) games that dont suck
I think games like MoH:AA, RTCW, DoD, and BF1942 are all amazing games, so who cares which one is the best, they all fall into category # 2.

P.S.- i dont think MoH:Expansion can go wrong in any way, esp if there's a Pacific Theatre.

Indeed, the IGN professors are correct. I really hate fun.

The worst part is, you actually think this game is the best WWII game ever or something

It may be "good" in your eyes, but DEFIANLLY not the best ever.

OH, and I forgot the mock the stupid idea of the radar in the game. :/ Play what you like.

Well its easily the best of the current crop of games.

hey is bf1942 worth 100$ cuz i dont have the RAM for it and the game

[quote="Recycled Spooge":5c681]OH, and I forgot the mock the stupid idea of the radar in the game. :/ Play what you like.[/quote:5c681]

Radar only shows enemy held areas and your team mates, it doesn't show the actual enemy positions so its not like its 100% useful or anything.

DoD is IMO the best multiplayer WW2 realism "game" (if you want to call it that) ever. The graphics may not be top notch, but if you get the new high poly user-made models, even the iron sight models are awesome. It is in the top of my book for realism in a game/mod whatever. BF1942 is good, but it needs some heavy modding in the infantry area.
