Absolutely loved the scale and pace of BF1942, and Desert Combat. Loved the little engagements and opportunities for something special. Really feel like it was lost since Bf3. Even the flying was great, but that got simplified, to the point of boring! Good video. Thanks.
Nailed it. Kids these days have no idea what real online game play was. I would get off the bus and go running back to my room to play BF9142, Desert combat mod, or BF2. The pace was much better, team work, and much bigger maps. The games today since BF3 is nothing but how many kills and how fast you can get them. No real fun in game play.
@@103realtree2 you're spot on about the team play, or lack of. I can't remember the last time I had a good experience. Voice comms in games like Csgo are just dire. Everyone is rude asf! It's definitely set up to cater for the instant gratification crowd...get that dopamine fix and get them hooked, and if they lose, throw the toys out the pram! Sure there's a science behind it! I do miss the old days. 😪 wireplay, blueyonder etc, if you're UK based.
I honestly think it was already lost in Bad Company. Bad Company changed the style of the gameplay to a quicker one. It still obviously wasn't like BF3 and later, but it was definitely much quicker already.
I remember when I played this as a kid I never fly the planes cause I didn’t know how to fly them but overtime I was good at flying the planes I was god at flying and bombing the enemy vehicles but thing is I didn’t know how to land😅
what gpu are you using I am trying to find out what newer videocards have best retro games support I love to record my old games in 4k and stream at the same time
@@ClassicPCgames-Shauneyboy I myself have a rx 580 I always thought AMD we're better with supporting old games in the early 2000s I owned ati cards and they were always perfect on the older games so I kept using ATI cards. Eventually I decided to upgrade new pc and got my first nvidia card in 2007 I got the 8800gtx on windows xp but when I had 8800 GTX I had a bad texture glitch on bf1942 you can see a video of it still on my channel is very old anyway later on I got a HD 6850 it was perfect on Windows XP with a few minor glitches on the game. in 2013 I finally upgraded to a newer system so I got HD 7970 and I was very disappointed the same textual flickering on water and some parts of the map Returned on Windows 7 on bf1942 now 1 year ago my HD 7970 finally died so I got a RX 580 I still have the same texture glitch but I got used to it lol. so it doesn't matter if I now have NVIDIA or AMD they will both have the same problem however it started to look like amd just got a little worst for Legacy game support because if you look on team simple forum (I don't know if you know that forum) there are multiple people having issues with rx 5700 on bf1942 they no longer have a crosshair on the weapons. so I am now trying to find out which company has the best Legacy support still left the only games I'm interested in are all very old but in order to stream them on twitch and recording at the same time in 4k still require some big graphical power lol.
hi, I still have the original cd's but which version of the game allows you to play online? would really love to go on this nostalgia trip again :) nice vid, keep it up!

Nostalgia man !

Never played 1942 but this map looks so good for all eras of bf portal, I'm gonna play so much of this map as well as Valparaiso.
Nice vid its good to see someone who still play the game until now and servers are still running and you've earn a new sub.
Well said, this channel fully deserves a sub and a like for this video.

Flying in this game is so much fun
Apparently the 2042 map that takes place in Antarctica is bigger than this
Four times bigger
F, that's huge
wjdhfh dhbw not four. more like 2.5x - 3x
And now we're going to be able to play in bf2042.
Apparently 2042 will HAVE El Alamein :DD
My favorite map simply because of the plane
This brings me back to the days when games were tactical and not just a pew pew fest … BF1942 was that game like wow we all remember .
yeaaa we gonna play this in portal. cant fuckin wait. its been 19 years wtfffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff
If the Gamespy servers we're up to start playing this game again
2:42 forgotten sound from my childhood
This game with the Forgotten Hope Mod was amazing... So many hours playing it.
Oh yes, I remember. Everybody camping for planes to pop into existence.
That loading map menu brings me joy.
This was the goat ngl. Brings a tear to my eye lol. However, I may still lean even moreso towards Battlefield Vietnam
I like this games especially riding those fast little buggy
We are back!
IT'S BACK
what gpu are you using I am trying to find out what newer videocards have best retro games support I love to record my old games in 4k and stream at the same time
Nvidia 1080 8gb
@@ClassicPCgames-Shauneyboy I myself have a rx 580 I always thought AMD we're better with supporting old games
in the early 2000s I owned ati cards and they were always perfect on the older games so I kept using ATI cards.
Eventually I decided to upgrade new pc and got my first nvidia card in 2007 I got the 8800gtx on windows xp but when I had 8800 GTX I had a bad texture glitch on bf1942
you can see a video of it still on my channel is very old anyway later on I got a HD 6850 it was perfect on Windows XP with a few minor glitches on the game.
in 2013 I finally upgraded to a newer system so I got HD 7970 and I was very disappointed the same textual flickering on water and some parts of the map Returned on Windows 7 on bf1942
now 1 year ago my HD 7970 finally died so I got a RX 580 I still have the same texture glitch but I got used to it lol. so it doesn't matter if I now have NVIDIA or AMD they will both have the same problem however it started to look like amd just got a little worst for Legacy game support because if you look on team simple forum (I don't know if you know that forum)
there are multiple people having issues with rx 5700 on bf1942 they no longer have a crosshair on the weapons.
so I am now trying to find out which company has the best Legacy support still left the only games I'm interested in are all very old but in order to stream them on twitch and recording at the same time in 4k still require some big graphical power lol.
We need our own servers back to thrive again like it was in these days..

How do you play these online now days?
Sorry. I just couldn't help myself after seeing someone write this in the game's chat.
Where can I find the download to get this again? I’m sure I have the OG cds too lmao
I have the original game from years ago, so if you have those, use them

Go to oceanofgames. I had the original CD but I lost the case (no code). So i downloaded it. I still play it everyday.
