Mine is:

Medal of Honor is much better, BF 1942 does not look as good as MoH.

Just my opinion.

Sure it doesn't look as good but, gameplay is much better if your on a good server.

Sicilian_Summers · 08-18-2002, 12:33 PM

i think its beautiful looking. i play on a gf4 ti4200 with max settings though

the gameplay is MUCH better then MOH's. why? because you can do nearly anything, and the assortment of vehicles makes the game more exciting. there is nothing like the rush of holding the last control point with few tickets left until the japs take wake island over... cant find that in moh.

SoViEt · 08-18-2002, 01:51 PM

i personally think BF1942 looks better than MOHAA... the sky and sea are much realistic and the tropical look of wake island reminds me of home freak:

gameplay wise, BF1942 is much better. conquest mode rules!

I love it. Now imagine your in a good clan that does lots of planing before games like KaoS. Think of how much strategizing you could do with that game. In the beginning I would take my 3 good piolets 2 good assualters as tailgunners. Have the two assaulters parachute onto the carrier. Kill the guys after they spawn (not spawn kill give um 3 steps) thats my opening. I know it sucks but I mean in a big clan match like 12 per side you can do a lot more with strategy than you could with this game. Esecially using the scouts to help artilary. Oh doesn't it seem like Allied wepons are more accurtate like the No. 4 to the Kar rifle.

Once they turn off FF on all of the servers, I will be playing it much more the MOHAA I'm sure. But it kills me all the jerks running around killing teammates so they can fly the plane. There are way too many idiots playing right now, and it's pissing me off. The graphics are not as good as MOHAA, but the levels are so much bigger, and you can do so much more. I think it's a lot more fun than MOH.

i think bf1942 has great looking vehicles. the terrain , water, and shadows also look much better than mohaa's . the developers should of made the shadows in mohaa look better like the ones in ofp or bf1942

geRV · 08-18-2002, 02:54 PM

First off all i can say is the people who think this looks better than mohaa should lay down the crack pipe. The player models in this don't look anywhere near as good as the ones in mohaa and neither do the rather basic and inaccurate looking weapons models.

Even with the res and options bumped up it doesn't look all that good. The reason being they opted for low poly player and weapons models so they could have more freedom with the size of the maps. The only good looking effect ive seen in this game so far is the shimmering water and even thats not exactly earth shattering.

Infantry based combat is near non existant in this game so i can;t see how people can compare it to mohaa. In mohaa you're using infantry and fighting against infantry, in bf42 you're basically in a vehicle 90% of the time and the infantry combat is quite basic on the rare occasion that it does happen.

The vehicles are good for a laugh but i would assume even that piece of crap tin can commenly called the "sherman" would be able to take out a half track in one shot instead of 3-4 shots.

It can be a good game on its own merits but infantry combat is not its strong point. The lag is another issue, basically every server seems to lag even if theyre local to you or not. The demo also seems to have come with a refresh rate bug which will make your screen black out for a second while it triggers your monitors refresh rate.

All in all this game seems to be devoted more to vehicle based combat. The infantry side of the story is basic and crappy to be blunt about it.

Its yet another game where ea tries to make team work happen but all that happens is morons dive for the planes and kill anyone whos gets in their way just to grab it and they normally crash the friggin thing during or just after take off. mwah:

Miscguy · 08-18-2002, 03:17 PM

Im less than impressed.

Infantry fighting is rare and when it happens your best choice is to grab your knife and charge because you wont hit shit with a rifle or your handgun, let alone a automatic.

Sniping is a joke, even a motionless target with the sights on his chest doesnt take a hit. (tried it)

So much for the rumor that some guy played on 56k from the states on a server in the UK with a 100 some odd ping. Cause thats total BS, i played on a server in town and still had over a 400 ping and eventually had "connection probelms detected". So much for DSL, and the home field advantage. Even in mohaa i could play a UK server without going over 200.

Frankly the game looks like crap, i point out the weapon models for referance. Plays like crap, i refer you to the 400 ping in town. The rocketeers/ snipers being the only classes anyone uses except engineer so they can fix the tank there driving.

Good concept poor exicution, wont waist $5 on it.

Pyro · 08-18-2002, 03:25 PM

It is a piece of shit compared to MOHAA like competition speaking, BF1942 is the wrost game EVER with alot of people

just fucking around with 2 or 3 people is the best

other then that MOHAA is better

SoViEt · 08-18-2002, 03:28 PM

gerard, maybe u were playing in the wrong servers all the time... there is infantry combat, tho not as intense as MOHAA, it's as fun. in a game today, i was an assaulter, one guy drove an armored truck, picked up 4-5 guys including me on the way and we drove straight into the heart of airbase... truck took some shots but survived the trip.. we then jumped off the truck and all of us cleared house by house around the flag, with some support from the tank behind us... me as infantry i felt the action was intense and fun...

and if you pay attention to the scoreboard... most top fraggers are infantry...

SW-14 · 08-18-2002, 03:40 PM

If you have the comp to run the settings at high, the graphics are absolutely beautiful. The clouds are more realistic looking then any clouds I've seen in a flight simulator. The terrain is awesome, the palm trees sway in the wind. Now, if they could just fix that lag...

Umm no if you pay attention to the actual scores when the games playing you will see most kills are because of tanks and planes divebombing. Afik the score board only shows the players name and their class it doewsn't say what vehicle they used.

SW-14 · 08-18-2002, 04:30 PM

Actually, most of the highest scorers really are infantry, Gerard. I hardly ever use vehicles, and here are some of the games I've gotten first in, being infantry only:

I would have more, but for some reason, the print screen button doesn't always take the screen.

FFS dont tell me it aint worth playing....I just spent 3 hours downloading the bstd oOo:
