is battlefield overrated?
 

hey everyone! i was just wondering if you guys think that bf1942 is overrated or if its as good as i think it is. fire2: M16:

overrated

I don't like it,I deleted the MP demo from my PC.

i enjoyed playing mohaa SERIOUSLY for longer. nuff said.

Overrated.

I think we (well atleast I) should wait for the full game to make a decision cool:

Well...if the full game is like the SP and MP demos, I feel it will be over rated. Sure it's a fun game, but thats about as far as it will go for me. Just a fun game. Realism and accuracy has been completely thrown out the window with this game, it could have been much more....just like MoHAA could have been. But I play MoHAA more than either of those 2 demo's.

perhaps, hmm almost time for that "special evaluation" version to come out.

well, it is really all based on personal opinions from each gamer.

i personally enjoy the game very much, it is my favorite game right now. which is really impressive since it is just a demo.

so, it is just my opinion that the game is not overrated. however, BW made good points as to why it would be.

Yes, very much so Sicilian. Personal opinions will differ, as has been shown (with many subjects on this forum) with this game. About the greatest thing this game has going for it is it's fun factor, replayability, and controllable vehicles. If people took the MP side of the game more seriously it could be a seriously fantastic experience. I'll have to evaluate it with a copy from work before I even think about throwing down some cash for this though. I really hope it is something more, but I'm not holding my breathe.

I like the game for the fact there is not much realism. I like the arcadie way it plays. I still play MoH just as much but I usually play that with a realism mod. Only think I dont like in battlefield is how much you have to lead you target when he is father away.

I think it's already out.

So overrated or not I'll still be getting it.

I mean it has to be better than SOF.

it is hitting stores in the US on the 14th.

I'm sure there will be levels 10x better than Wake. Has anyone seen the videos of Stalingrad, Berlin, and Omaha?

omaha is going to be shit, i would think.

the other levels that you mention dont look so bad.

I wish they'd make the role of tank driver and gunner two different guys, it's difficult to see which way the hull is pointed after you moved the turret a lot. Also driver needs to shoot bow MG (to give extra MG)

u know what omaha is gonna be like? it's gonna have like 3 b-17 bombers flying over axis infantry and thier bunkers bombing the crap out of them, while the landing crafts are still safely attached to the destroyer or carrier.

No....there aren't going to be any planes in Omaha. The only ship will be one Allied Destroyer with the landing craft attached to it.

"why are we moving what are you doing"
"dude stop moving the boat"
"DUDE WE'RE GOING OUT OF BOUNDS STOP"
game over

what do you mean? there is a machine gunner on the tank, and a turret gunner, along with an extra machine gun you can use by right clicking (while inside the turret). if i understood you correctly, you are having problems distinguishing your position in the first person view. use the HUD icon on the bottom center of your screen to tell your position.

use the HUD guys...its very well organized and it gives a shitload of information.

and, germ, thats not so unrealistic. for omaha, yes. for utah, no (although im not sure if b-17s were used at the time.) and of course, people are going to make it up the beach by LCVP, or attempt to anyways.

i just had a practice with my clan AFF for bf42. if they dont fix this game i quit. this game is horrible. i had someone standing still not moving.. 4 sniper shots perfectly on him... nothing. he turns around and in 4 shots im dead from a machine gun.

well, im guessing you knew how to compensate bullet drop and the fact that it takes time to get to your target. it isnt as uber easy as mohaa.

and tell the AFF guys Giodanna said hi (espically help, sisk, and hightower) :D

actually there were planes at Omaha, except the B-17s unloaded too far inland and killed a bunch of farm animals (of course from what I've seen in the demo, that's how bad people's aim will be anyway)

I think Crow King will save the day as usual biggrin:

at omaha too? i thought it was utah...or, at least the majority were at utah.

if im not mistaken, their purpose was to create bomb craters for the men to use as cover. not to mention bomb the fuck out of the german defensive line :)

i tried on him.. a bit above.. a bit higher.. a bit higher

you REALLY have to lead your target. i know...you are probably saying "i do, you dumbass" well, lead them more, or try anyways. if all else fails, grab a machine gun. if that fails, grab some explosives.

by the way..i thought you were a member of the AFF navy anyways :)

Well I'll wait until the full version comes out here in the UK before I judge BF1942, but I have to admit that the demo's quite impressive/refreshing.

i am.. im a aa gunning machine but i was playing infantry

LOL!!!!!!!

Bullet impact detection is screwed up. It's almost impossible to hit a moving target.

Mafia is better...

very overated.

Your mom is even better bud. Your still a virgin right?

lol flipside you are pathetic

Thats right. Anything else?

This is very true, especially whilst sniping.

Dumb ass.

For some reason, the MP demo won't work on my PC. It installs, but when I boot, it just goes back to the desktop. maybe I need to apply that new patch, who knows.

Anyways, the SP demo was fun. I like being a German Sniper, and driving the tanks are fun, too. biggrin:

Yeah, whack the new patch on and make sure you haven't tweaked your graphic's card driver to force games to play at refresh rates above 60hz. I had the exact same problems as you and I had tweaked my Radeon to play all games at 85hz, because of this BF1942 would just bump me back to the desktop when I tried to start the game.

Doh! Mines set to 120mhz, heh. I'll just wait for the full version, only another week or so, unless they push back the damn date!! mad:
