1942 Nostalgia

Klenland · 01-21-2008, 06:13 PM

So many good memories from the original Battlefield. No ranks, no registered profiles, simple maps, no sprint, knives that worked, easy on the CPU, the list goes on! Once I get my copy back, I'd be up for finding a good server to play with some TG folk on, once in a while.

In the mean time: laff

I loved the Desert Combat mod, and particularly liked the Apache Wars servers, which were modded to fast-spawn Apaches for the benefit of all the helo lovers. I had as much fun on the ground with a Stinger, with such a target-rich environment.

Once I found Forgotten Hope for 1942 I was a happy boy. I could play that for days straight. Truly a classic.

I missed out on 1942, didn't start internet gaming until about 2004/2005.
I feel very sad now.

I bought it when it first came out, but I was in 3rd grade and didn't know what online gaming was. Heh. It was fun against the AI though, but I wish I could have played it in its real glory.

Waaaaahahahaha. I MISS BF1942/DC SO MUCH!!!! Never had I played so much online fps. Like you said, it was so untaxing on my pc. I could run it on my old laptop without a hiccup. I sunk many many nights into that game. Truly good times. Don't get me wrong, I love BF2, it ran pretty well for me before they started patching it. Now it runs like garbage and I still get the crash to desktop issues

We gotta have a BF1942 reunion. I tried playing about a year ago, and there were still a few servers up, but I couldn't find any good players. Nothing but kids acting the fool, it seemed.

That video was classic

Now that I'm stuck in integrated graphics laptop hell, I'm so glad I have 1942 - certainly helps a lot when unable to play 2142 or TF2.

Oh, the good old days. I love Eve of Destruction for its Vietnam War settings and the vehicles (love those heavily armed river boats) and the awesome music. I think they make the mod for BF2 still.

It was the beginning of a beautiful blood stained relationship.

They keep updating the 1942 mod, so it should work for all. I still play it.

this is an older post, but it has some suggestions... and who has it...

Any game?

I believe that they just released another version of the Eve of Destruction for BF:1942. It is being worked on by Lotte, check their site for more details. As for the BF2 version of EOD, they just released a new news post with some pics of the F4! Once again, check their site for that.

As of 1942 and its mods, I know I would take the time to reinstall if there was going to be a full server!

Most definitely! We should start an internet revolution and re-spark the 1942 frenzy. Lets show EA how good their games USED to be.

**Long Bow** · 01-23-2008, 11:23 AM

I forgott about EOD. That was a great mod as well but sadly the servers died off quickly for it. It had a great feel to it. Much better feel to it then BF Vietnam IMO. I tried EOD 2 but it didn't seem as good for some reason?

War.mongeR1 · 01-23-2008, 11:47 AM

Anyone remember the Star Wars mod? It had its issues, but I thought it was a LOT of fun. They were going to make an updated version that fixed all its previous issues, but then BF2 came out and it got scrapped I believe.
