Has anyone tryed the multiplayer demo yet ?

It's looking very sweet. It reminds me of MOHAA a lot but with vehicules you can drive.

I've downloaded the demo but haven't ahd time to try it out. Here's a good article on it -> 3DActionPlanet

The MP demo can be downloaded here -> 3DGamers

Here are a few pictures taken from the 3DActionPlanet article for those that want to click.

The maps look huge too. The difference with MOHAA is that you can really go anywhere you want on the map ( that doesn't mean you won't get killed doing so ... )

You can even use the boats that dropped you in the Overlord MOHAA mission.

Nice. Downloading it as we speak. Maybe this game with vehicles will be bridge the gap between games like CS and Operation Flashpoint. You can have people who are specialised driving/piloting particular vehicles without going to the extremes of having ex-military drivers/pilots as can be found in Operation Flashpoint clans....

I'm downloading it now too. Looks quite good - graphics wise from the screenshots. The people who play multiplayer OpFlash are crazy :dead:

There are sooo many WW2 games out today, i.e.: DoD, RtCW, MoHAA...for the sake of variety I hope this one is good

just noticed it was 130 MB...dial-up users I think you're out of luck.

Maybe we should set up a tourny for this as well? :grinthumb

Quite laggy, but looks like it has a lot of potential. Anyone managed to successfully flight a plane yet? So far I get to the end of the aircraft carrier and then plumet into the sea

I played it today for the first time, Damn its gud...im a hardened CS player...but this ...Requires a monster of a PC though, the Pc's i tried it out on had GF3's and it wasnt running very well at all! Had to turn the gfx down to their lowest settings to make it playable:blackeye:

If u havent already got it, then get it for sure

I wish EA would work on the controls on flying the damn plane. I mean flying them is hard enough, trying to bomb something and fly is really hard. grrrr

It ran reasonably on my 1.7Ghz P4, GF2Go 32mb 512mb DDR laptop. Haven't tried it on my Home 1.4Ghz Athlon(at 1.5Ghz) with GF3 64mb yet....

I have all the settings turned up @ 1152x864 w/ my Radeon 8500 and XP 2100+, and I haven't gotten a single little skip yet .

I've played it alone just to get a feel for the different character classes; vehicles, ships and all that...Haven't played it multiplayer yet though. I'd love to play with some of you guys :evil:

I haven't even been able to take off yet...:haha:

From the aircraft carrier or the land base. I keep running into buildings cuz I can't bloody see!!! :haha:

I can manage to get in the air. Then I have to spend the rest of my time trying to keep my plane in the air. Anyone know how to switch to 3rd person when flying?

Press C

Quality Game. Kind of a cross between the uber-realism of Op Flash and MOH:AA.

It is easy to fly planes using the K/b as opposed to the Mouse. And use the External View.

Patch out for the demo

We've definitly passed a milestone when even demos get patched. Anyways here it is -> http://www.3dgamers.com/dl/games/battlefield1942/mp_demo_client_patch_1.1.zip.html

Patch for a demo? Never heard of such a thing!

Apparently just because it's so popular, there were some glaring problems in it, and the full game isn't even out yet

Funny article about BF1942...

And here's another one...first one was IGN, this one's Gamespy
