[quote="Recycled Spooge":1ec83]Flat green textures?! Crappy looking towns?! You need to boost up your detail settings, or get a new video card. There are trees everywhere in IL-2. At least when I'm flying a Stuke, I really feel like I'm flying a Stuka. Where did you get this idea, that the best WWII Game must have the best graphics. The massive plus of IL-2 is that it's REALISTIC. Wow, what a concept! Does BF-1945 even have atmospheric effects? Or any clouds? Are the planes in BF-1942 realistically modelled? The topic said, "Best World War II game", and I'm pretty sure IL-2 is the most realistic and closest to WWII as you can get right now. But anyway, you can go ahead and go play your little frag fest, and I'll be playing my 50+ realistically modelled planes in IL-2. I'm not even going to discuss the utter chaos and retardation in BF-1942. The game sucks, unless you're on a private server or a lan party.[/quote:1ec83]



Spooge fact of the matter is tha ANY game can suck online. All it takes is one arsehole to ruin a game for anyone on any server. I never said that the best ww2 game must have the best graphics bf-42 graphics for the most part are a bit cack but the vehicle models and the sheer scale of the maps more than makes up for it.

I don't see how being "realistic" has anything to do with being a massive plus. Compare the amount of arcaade styled games on the market compared to realistic styled games and realism gets driven into the ground through sheer numerical superiority of arcade styled games.

I had the il2 demo which was some strafing mission or some shit but from what i remember the maps looked very basic and there wasn't much in the way of detail. I dunno what settings i was using as it was a long time ago but i might redload it and give it another try.

I dunno how you figure this. Il2 has ONE vehicle type (that being a plane be it fighter or bomber). Battlefield 1942 has pretty much the majority of the main vehicles used in ww2. Subs half tracks planes bombers destroyers battleships tanks higgins boats artillery cannons flak cannons.

In terms of substance bf-42 prety much shits over anything else on the market as theres so much to do in the game. The demo was populated by retards yes but pretty much any server i go into these days has people working together to accomplish things.

Just an hour or so ago i was on the axis team and we had planes strafing the shit out fo a base while some of us in tanks were in a convoy guarding half tracks full of troops. Granted it might not happen to that degree very often BUT when it does it has a very realistic ww2 look and feel to it.

And for the nay sayers ign had a true quote at the end of their review and here it is.

[quote:1ec83]There are two groups of people who won't like this game. The first are the unfortunate few who simply don't have a powerful enough machine or a fast enough connection to be competitive. The other group would be the misguided minority who just don't like fun.[/quote:1ec83]
