I've tried other Battlefield games over the years. None felt near as fun as this and Vietnam. Even playing alone, the bots were decent enough to play against that I loved it. The few times I got to play LAN multiplayer have some of my favorite childhood memories in it. Driving a jeep straight at a tank and bailing while my friend was distracted shooting at the tank before it slams into and blowing up still brings a smile to my face after all these years.

I have such fond memories of this game from back in the day. I like the naval maps and being able to pilot the ships around, not just small patrol boats, actual ships.
Simplesmente a frente do seu tempo,mapas gigantescos, divertido e com gráficos simples ,fui jogar o Battlefield 2042 e ficou horrível nem parecia Battlefield acho até que se pegasse o 1942 e colocar para vender de novo vai vender mais que o 2042.
