Should I buy this game?
 

Hi guys,

Im new here, a little about me. Im male, 15 and from UK.

I was thinking of buying Battlefield 1942 because im addicted to the Secret Weapons of WW2 Demo.

So a few questions, is it worth buying? I am aware of Battlefield 2.

How big of a download are the mods for this game? Where can i download them?

How many mods are there?

Is there alot of bugs/lag/cheaters?

Finally Merry Christmas and Happy new year to all :).

Hi! im 14... so I guess I can relate to what you might like...
you MUST BUY this game... IT IS AWSOME. There are some bugs and lags if you dont have a good comp. but if u get all the updates you'll be fine.
There are TONS of mods... go to www.filefront.com and look on the left of the screen collum and find bf1942... thats where u can download stuff.
I dont play many mods... only Desert Combat which is about 3/4 a gig of memory. Some are more or less depending on how much is changed.
But overall.... buy this game it is well worth the $20 for it nowadays. (not many cheaters as well if you go on pure/punkbuster servers -find out more when you buy the game and c for urself)

Re: Should I buy this game?
 

especially for the cost now. its an awesome game with lots of great mods.

Re: Should I buy this game?
 

Alright thanks guys, i live in the UK where can i get it cheap?

Look here: www.play.com is this a good price?

Thanks

Re: Should I buy this game?
 

you HAVE to get this game. I have around 5 mods for it and the biggest is Forgotten Hope which is over 1 gig. Most mods are smaller than that. I've been playing this game for 2 years, if that doesnt say that a game can hold someone's attention...i dont know what will.

you will need a decent computer. 1gig of memory. I have a 18gig BF1942 folder (because of mods and patches and other things) so be prepared.

Re: Should I buy this game?
 

18 GIG???? MY GOD!!!

1GIG for a addon? Damn, i download at 30KB a second, thats gona be long lol.

Well thanks for the input guys, ill try and see when/where i can get it.

Re: Should I buy this game?
 

Guys can i have a list of the mods i have to get for battlefield?

Like battlefield 1942 patch and desert combat and stuff.

Thanks cya.

Re: Should I buy this game?
 

Get bf1942! It is one of the biggest games in the last 5 years. There are over a 100 mod from Desert combat and forgotton hope(devs have foums here) to dice city and Intersate 82. Its about 300mb in patches that make this game run great and adds punkbuster.

I got about 3gb for Bf1942 since all i have is Dc .7 and .8

You can get all the mods, maps, and patches from www.battlefield1942files.com

Re: Should I buy this game?
 

Pethegreat yeah i know all the files are there, but there confusing. Desert Combat, then extension and then some other files?????????

I know its alot of trouble but please could someone make me a list? Christmas Present? lol.

Thanks anyways people. Take care, Merry Christmas...

Re: Should I buy this game?
 

Here are the best mods I found that are FULL/ TOTAL conversions where very little is the same.

Desert Combat v.8/Final (not DCX thats the extened)
Forgotten Hope .65
BF 1918 v 1.51
Galactic Conquest 0.4
Empires 0.1
Battlefield Pirates Beta 3

Short sum up of each
Desert Combat-Modern Day vs Iraq with awsome airplanes and tanks like the M1Abrams!!
Forgotten Hope- Battlefield 1942 with new sounds items and upgrades for team tactics
BF 1918- World War 1 recreation where weapons arent as good but the airplanes rock for dogfights
Galactic Conquest- Star Wars mod!!!! You can fly X-Wings and all sorts of SW stuff!!!
Empires- Battlefield 1942 with RPG and Strategy game elements. Mix of Age Of Empires and a First Person Shooter....
Battlefield Pirates- Take a guess... go on!......... yes your in the future.... (not) just with awsome boat cannon fights and some of the hardest guns EVER to shoot.... (sorry for all big fans but they did suck tho matched time period)

Last note for you.... Buy the game.... DUH
If i can spend time writing this for you..... oooooo ur Fing buying it :cool:
And buy the WW2 Anthology with the expansions Road to Rome and the Secret Weapons in it....!!
Merry Xmas!!!

Re: Should I buy this game?
 

All good except for this (don't mean DC isn't good, just a minor error).

It should be DC 0.7 full install (no 0.8 exists) followed by DC Final, which is actually a mod of DC 0.7 and requires seperate installation and activation for creating your own games.

Get it but don't forget BF2 is slated for March release (looks good so far so may make it then), but it isn't a huge expense to get BF now and BF2 then.

I GOT BATTLEFIELD 1942!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I got version v1.0. I cant find a patch that makes me get to the latest version.

Can somone post me a link? Thanks alot.

Re: Should I buy this game?
 

go onto this link : http://www.eagames.com/official/batt...p?state=010010 and download the first patch on the list "battlefield 1942 1.6" just click EA games, and also, if you want mods like desert combat and forgotton hope, (the 2 ive got) but they take ages to download, (Forgotton Hope 10 hours on broadband!!!!!), id be happy to post you a disk with desert combat and forgotton hope on, but id need your address, postcode etc, unless it worries you giving it out on internet, lol

Re: Should I buy this game?
 

Nah man thanks for the offer but i dont give details to people i dont know! :D.

Thanks for the offer, yeah i will probably download Forgotten hope in parts, i downloaded desert combat and it was ok.

Thanks man cya.

Re: Should I buy this game?
 

also, im trying to join a clan, as i find that people dont do anough teamwork, (one person taking a cargo plane, when it fits 10 etc) and they dont make plans and give support, prehaps you should think about it too, im looking to see if one will accept me

Re: Should I buy this game?
 

bf1942 is really a great game. well worth the price. the mods are endless for this game. i have about a 4 gig bf folder, and i'm still d/l something. at least 2 times a week i d/l some kind of patch or new skin, or whatever. its whatever you like, desert combat is a great mod to have, dcx .8 is also 1 of my favs. if you want the full enjoyment out of the game you have to have a good internet connection. i have a 3 mb cable, and that is plenty fast. the game comes alive online, after awhile you get sick of playing sp.

Re: Should I buy this game?
 

Buy It............. You Wont Regret It Bud....

Re: Should I buy this game?
 

What computers do u guys have? cuz i'm about to buy a new one cuz i really can't play any mods exept 1942 without lag (even in 1942 i'm having some).
