A team wins the round when the other team runs out of tickets. And if no one is alive, the team with no "spawn" points or the popular term "tickets" loses. When a team loses control of all their control points, they cannot respawn. The default game play mode, Conquest, centers on the capture and control of control points once a team captures a control point, its members can respawn from it. Battlefield 1942 was one of the first mainstream games to represent a dramatic shift in FPS game play mentality not only favoring individualism, but simultaneously encouraging teamwork and coordination. Additionally, capturing and controlling control points also reduces enemy reinforcements. Capturing control points allows the team to reinforce itself by enabling players and vehicles to spawn in a given area.
The gameplay of Battlefield 1942 generally has a more co-operative focus than previous games of this nature, as it is not only important to kill the opposition but to also hold certain "control points" around the map. Since its release, the game has spawned numerous sequels and spin-offs, which became part of what ultimately would become the Battlefield game series. The game went on to do well commercially, as well, with over 680,000 copies sold, totaling $27.1 million. Upon release, Battlefield 1942 received generally favorable reviews, with particular praise going to the innovative gameplay, multiplayer and World War II theme. The maps in Battlefield 1942 are based on real battles and are somewhat realistically portrayed. The location determines which nation-specific armies are used (for example, on the Wake Island map, it is Japan versus the United States, while on the El Alamein map, it is Germany versus the United Kingdom). Combat is between the Axis Powers and the Allies. Players also have the ability to fly various World War II fighter aircraft and bombers, navigate capital ships, submarines, and aircraft carriers, man coastal artillery defenses, drive tanks, APCs and jeeps, and take control of anti-aircraft guns and mounted machine guns.Įach battle takes place on one of several maps located in a variety of places and famous battlefields in all of the major theaters of World War II: the Pacific, European, North African, Eastern, and Italian Fronts.
In-game, players assume the role of one of five classes of infantry: Scout, Assault, Anti-Tank, Medic, and Engineer. It is a popular platform for mod developers, with many released modifications that alter the gameplay and theme. The game can be played in single-player mode against the video game AI or in multiplayer mode against players on the Internet or in a local area network. Battlefield 1942 is a first-person shooter video game developed by Digital Illusions Creative Entertainment and published by Electronic Arts for Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X.
