Battlefield 1942 is a highly team-play-oriented World War II... simulation, I suppose. You can play a deathmatch where you kill until the enemy runs out of tickets, or lives, or conquest, where you have to control as many flags as you can, and the team with any remaining tickets wins.

To start us off, there are vehicles. Vehicles are a giant plus to any game if you ask me. Especially vehicles with guns... Yummy.
The vehicles are jeeps, half-tracks, tanks, and planes. They're simple to control, except it's really difficult to aim in the planes, but what the hey... They're fun anyway. (Is it rhyme-time or something?)

Included in this lovely package are five different classes to choose from; The scout, the assault, the anti-tank, the medic, and the engineer. There are different guns for each team, but it's pretty much just a difference in appearance.

Getting a couple friends together to play some BF1942 is downright fun, except when the bots precisely bomb you with their freakin' prop plane. That gets annoying. It's just not possible to do that out of skill, these bots cheat. All they do is get in the dumb planes and bomb every single person on that map! Argh! And they never miss!

Rather surprisingly, BF1942 has no blood. That's nice... I'm tired of seeing games where the entire world is a big blood stain... but it's also kind of funny, you can pop some guy in the head with your BAR a couple times and nothing spurts! XD

Overall, Battlefield 1942 is a very fun multiplayer game. Go get it! NOW!
