This game is amazing, but where is the map editor they talk about in the product description? I can't find anything about it and I searched online too but there is nothing to download for the mac. Email me at ian.boyd@comcast.net or else just post the answer as a review. Thanks. By the way I'm not really a kid I just didn't want to sign in and stuff.

This game is so fun. I only have the demo currently, but I cannot resist the ability to hop in an airplane or aircraft carrier and crash horibly. The graphics are good, the flexibility is good, and the authenticness is eccelent. Gameranger users may know me as Masked Ranger so if any mac users want to play I am not very rejective of noobs

BF1942 is amazing

wowwww!!! i love playin this game even without the expansion pack its amazing. In BF1942 the war doesnt come to you, you have to find enemys using tanks, jeeps, humvees, planes,(which are so much fun to fly and parachute out of.) And its actualy realistic war. You dont die every three seconds and you can call out commands using the f butons. Itts a really awesome gamefor those of you who are seeking reallistic battle. And also make sure to get secret weapons of wwII the expansion pack . its CRAZY.

Great Multiplayer Action

Even though it's showing its age, Battlefield 1942 is still a great multiplayer experience. I hust bought a new iMac G5 and my PC friends still wanted to game with me. After I installed the Desert Combat 0.7 modification we were off and playing online again. The only real issue is that even with a 2.0 Ghz G5 and 1.5 GB of RAM, it struggles against 49 bots on an enemy team. Just play online against humans or keep the bot count a bit lower. I like the ability to play with my Windows using friends.

Not What I Thought I Was Getting. . . .

I ordered this after playing, and beating, all of the difficulty levels of Medal of Honor and Call of Duty. From what I've read, this was supposed to be the motherload of WWII simulations.

I installed it and played it today. It wasn't what I was expecting. I like the first person shooters, like COD. This was more of a, well, battlefield. (I know. Duh.) Anyway, if you are into playing online with a whole bunch of people and not really having story lines, per se, to follow, this may be for you. If you like shooters like COD and MOH--with a definite "path" to follow, you might want to rethink this.

The game's effects are spectacular, but I just don't have the grey matter to figure it all out. I'm unistalling and going back to MOH. Battlefield does a whole bunch of things, including overwhelming me.

Multiplayer is great

BF1942 is my favorite FPS game ever. Maybe becasue i havent played a ton of other games, but still, this game is great. The graphics are OK, not the best, but still acceptable. Playing singleplayer will not really get you a feel of what really goes on on the Battlefield, but playing multiplayer will. This game is by far the greatest WWII multiplayer game ever. No other game comes close. You can talk to anyone playing the game with you, and there are not any stupid AI who dont know how to shoot a bullet.

I would say that this game doesnt really give you a feel of what being a soldier in WWII was like, since it isnt the most realistic thing ever, but who cares when you can run over guys in a jeep, or crash a spitfire into whatever you want. This game lets you use TONS of different tanks,jeeps,planes and guns whenever you want to. You can kill the enemy in a hundred diffeerent ways.

This game is alot like Star Wars Battlefront 2 and 1 becasue there are outposts you want to capture and large maps to fight on.
The only thing to be worried about is when playing on multiplayer, macs get lag real easy. I have played on a windows before with the ALL of the graphics, and textures, and everything like that turned WAY up. And the still dont get lag with 50 other people. But on Macs, prepared to have to turn down the graphics a ways, and stay off servers with a ton os people, then you will reallly get a good vibe for this game

Its Still Got It!

Battlefield 1942 may be an older game, but its got amazing graphics for its time. I like to play games like Star Wars Battlefront(which is the same concept, ust in a Star Wars universe), which are games with "ticket" counters, command posts, and different "kits", including scout, assault, anti-tank, engineer, and medic. You can replay important battles in history, including Iwo Jima, Battle at the Bulge, etc. It does have a campaign mode, which I guess you could call its storyline, but if you want a good storyline, try Halo. My G5 can run it smoothly on medium setting, but it gets jumpy if you put it on high. Some of the battles are a little exclusive to one side(Axis or Allies), like Battle of Midway is almost impossible to beat as the Allies. With the addition of the Road to Rome expansion, you get more maps, more weapons, and more armies.

Gameplay: 5 stars

Maps: 4 stars

Graphics: 5 stars

Overall: An awesome game.
