Hmm I don't know. I loved 1942 but this one seems a little bit butchered.

Well maybe not butchered, but dumbed down.

Not feeling it, im a long time battlefield fan and the departure for 2142 is alittle too simplified, plus no gun unlocks? or any unlocks? FAIL.

destrucable environment looks cool though so its not all bad :)

12 v 12 looks really barren, wonder why that decision was made. Still gonna shell out for it though.


I swear Brad shot more at his own team than the other. I do not want Brad on my team.

Yea it's not a Battlefield game if the planes and choppers aren't incredibly hard to control.

This reminds me so much of Battlefield 2: Modern Combat. That was the best online multiplayer game for the PS2.

How much space does this take up on the 360 hard drive?

It's basically four redecorated BF1942 maps with less players, less classes, regenerating health and ammo and probably other assorted tweaks (for better or worse) on the Frostbite engine (destruction and crazy audio). Doesn't really seem a whole lot like BF1942 to me apart from the maps and general WW2-ness going on. 

I would very much have liked it if they had channeled some of the crazy. This seems to have little to none of that, way too plain. Where's my drivable aircraft carrier, submarines, destroyers, B17's, glitchy anti-air guns, wing walking, jeep launching, voice commands in languages I can't understand and artillery that no one ever uses properly?

For $15, fair enough. But tis a bit sad.

edit
No prone again? Ah fuddlesticks.

And seriously, bring back the voice commands.

To anyone at GB who hasn't played Battlefield Bad Company, it's excessively fun & not too long for the really entertaining single player too see what happens with Bad Company. It's highly recommended by me for people to play it.

i dont wanna sound gay or nothin but i like the early morning Vinny and Brad combo. they should start up a hilarious sit-com and use the Family Ties intro music. i hope there's a Wake Island demo so i can play the demo over and over and never buy the game. because like Brad, thats what i totally did for the original.

I gotta say Im  pretty disappointed about the 24ppl limit too, I usually play BF2 only on 50+ ppl servers (which IMO is a good number for all maps in it, including the bf2 version of Wake Island which Id like to believe is about the same sized as 1942 version and 1943 version). I mean, I could do with less that 64 but still 24... Like 30-40 would be nice ;(
