Battlefield 1942 The Road To Rome Views

General Goods

Battlefield 1942 is a 3D World War II first-person shooter (FPS) computer game developed by Swedish company Digital Illusions CE and published by Electronic Arts for Microsoft Windows (2002) and Apple Macintosh (2004). The game can be played in singleplayer mode against computer game bots or in multiplayer mode against players on the Internet or in a Local Area Network. It is also a popular platform for mod developers, with a large number of released modifications that alter the gameplay and theme.

The gameplay of Battlefield 1942 generally has a more cooperative focus than previous games of this nature, as it is not only important to kill the opposition but to also hold certain control points around the map. Capturing control points allow the team to reinforce themselves by enabling players and vehicles to spawn in the certain area. Consequently, capturing and controlling control points also would reduce enemy reinforcements. Battlefield 1942 was one of the first mainstream games to represent a dramatic shift in FPS game play mentality not only favoring individualism, but simultaneously encouraging teamwork and coordination.

Battlefield 1942 was built on the formula of the less successful Codename Eagle computer game, set in an alternate history World War I. It featured single and multiplayer modes. The earlier Refractor 1 engine had more arcade-style physics and a less realistic focus than its successor, Refractor 2, which was used in BF2.

Digital Illusions doesn't just make racers. Nope, the Swedish blokes behind Rallisport and other acclaimed titles also make epic war themed shooters. Though not the first, but certainly the most impacting, Battlefield 1942 set a new bar for what all online shooters for the PC could and should be. That is, it had tanks and aircraft carriers and you could blow people up. Yes!!!! You know what Road to Rome does? It adds new maps, new vehicles, new weapons, and new fun to the base Battlefield Experience.
