The mods had even more content! Never matched in any commercial game later, probably over 1000 different vehicles and hundreds of maps. Not to mention several dozen total conversions (WW1, Winter War, Vietnam, Star Wars, modern warfare). Hell it still gets around 300 people online daily, which proves the game had a lasting quality
+Rayquaza The ancient (Desciple of death) I miss it! i used to play when i was 8 or 9. i also got the original medal of honor allied assault. damn i miss the good old days
@@baileyroddog Considering the first game had an expansion with jetpacks and actually working HO229s, I guess you'll be waiting for a while for one that doesn't hurt your sensibilities.
The one part of this that always send chills down my spine is how calm the scene is with the submarine and sonar right before it shows "Battlefield 1942"
I get chills every time I watch this. What an incredible intro. No fast cuts, no weird electronic music, no edginess. Just an amazing, tone-setting overview of the war. The machines of war flying over the heads of the innocent civilians, the menacing tank slowly rolling through the ruins, the hundreds of parachutes in the sky - a human life suspended from each one, making its way down to earth where the fighting will continue. It actually gets me misty-eyed. I wish Battlefield could have stayed this way but after BF1 it just hasn't felt like Battlefield anymore.
its a very inhuman trailer, only chosing to show the machines of war that are going to battle as if you are going to control them, with the superb soundtrack is almost perfect
battlefield 5 came back i think. but then they lost it with 2042. they had one job, they literally could of copied their own homework from 20 years ago yet here we are
@@bloodsurg6897 do not worry, there gonna be USSR expansion i mean... Finland, Latvia, Lithania, Estonia and Poland a lot of battlefields and lot of mission plots to discover
L K B D I pray humanity will not be stupid as people who say Battlefield V Trailer is shït as the game isn't fully finished and its not even the campaign trailer yet
Me, my father, and my little brother all had the game installed on our computers. I played in my first clan, in a league called "Up north". Great times.
I think what I love most about this intro is the scale of it. For me, it really captured the feel of a titanic struggle between all of humanity. Even the desolate expanse of an uninhabitable desert becoming strategically important, ships consisting of tons of resources built for war instead of fleets of tractors to plow land, the ominous overflight of planes as the cloud of global struggle casts its shadow over the common man, massive forces crossing the planet with one singular goal above all other ambitions, the untouched depths of the sea exploited as a tactical dimension to the unyielding conflict, countless boys and men dutifully going into harm's way as much for the salvation of mankind as their nation's call, and the universal reach of the war when something as simple as a truck is repurposed from industry or agriculture into a weapon of destruction. That, and the soundtrack is epic.
MouseDenton The gameplay was brilliant. Hollywoodian fights like we could see in CoD, MoH... never gave me the feeling that the fate of the whole battle would be definitely sealed depending on the taking or the loss of ONE particular outpost, bridge, hill... making every fight relentless as fuck.
Well, let me be honest, this intro was golden for its day, but could have used more animation. Like in 1:31 when the Japanese torpedo bombers are flying at the American ships, I would have expected a lotta more planes around, as well as heavy AA gun fire and shells exploding in the sky as the bombers go on. I guess its due to the limited CGI of the time, but. As it stands now, it's still great and the theme is perfect and goosebumping enough.
It's amazing how emotional this intro is even though it barely shows any actual people onscreen. Somehow their personal sacrifice and suffering is conveyed almost entirely through the places and vehicles shown.
The first online shooter I ever played, probably around 6-7 years old, now almost 26. The trumpets at 2:07 still give me goosebumps. 1942 will always be a classic that changed the industry.
Honestly the best intro of any game! I would never skip this scene when launching this game! Beast of a song!!!! I remember the map Stalingrad to epic! Coral sea one of the best!
Me neither.. i had a crappy computer back then becoz of being poor family.. soo laggy .. but i kept on playing hours after hours with 15fps.. dreaming of one day I will buy a nice PC and play this game with comfort. Now i have crazy powerful computer but dont have time to play any games at all.. All i have is the memories. RIP my Childhood dreams..
I find this a wonder to watch, but I grew up on its year younger brother, 1943. That was the fun stuff. No unlockables. No special killstreaks and perks. Just skill, rank, and fun. Nothing else. You will never get a game like that, ever again in the world...
Omg I’m so sorry dude, I totally just replied to the wrong person! Honestly tho I’m laughing out loud rn, that was such a good comeback. Again, real sorry, I hope you have a good day my dude!!
😭😭 same bro got a ryzen 5 5600x and rtx 3070 but I still can't play the games which I purchased from my pocket money when I was a kid only to find out that my old pc was garbage and my pc is too new to play those old titles
It still works fine, playing ok on Win10. You just need the no-cd and wide-screen patch. Also the master server workaround if you want to relive nostalgia online with other folks.
Aside from the obvious aesthetics, I'm a great fan of the perfect synchronisation of the music with the corresponding video parts. Around 0:36; the two most distingushable trumpet notes seem to mimic bombing alert sirens 0:43, view changes to navy and so does the "mood" of the trumpets The explosion at 0:51 Helmet at 1:12 Last three rockets around 1:24 Close view to diving fighters between 1:30 and 1:32 with notes somewhat resembling the fussilade Even the two torpedoes going off at around 1:38 Perhaps even more, but those I found particularly satisfying.
I played this game on day 1. Back in the days I was too poor to afford the right computer. I played with a laggy computer I managed to salvage and played on extra low resolution. Battlefield 1942 was the first game where you could use vehicles like that. It was magical and everyone playing it felt the same way. The community was the strongest and most passionate I have ever seen. Later, I joined a clan and we played with mods such as Desert Combat and Forgotten Hope
@gabp590 it was crazy being able to drive vehicles on a map like that. It was like, is this real? this is allowed? this isn't breaking physics?? my computer can stand this? like.. what ? ??
O man dont get me started. Ripping it up with my clan on a Stalingrad & Berlin 24/7 (pure) ctf server. While speaking on ventrilo or teamspeak. Practicing for our next skrim. These where the best gaming days for me. It will never be the same
I just got this on Origin yesterday since I was curious and have never played a Battlefield game before... GOD I LOVE IT! Especially this intro! Just gives me chills every time I start up the game.
33booyaka33 well, BF1 seems better to me. and before you hate me, I'm going to say that because it is almost identical to 1942 etc. except modernized (by that i mean the gameplay, engine, etc) and has much funner vehicles. not to mention it miraculously runs on my potato computer at 30 frames and still has good graphics. (it's a laptop with Nvidia GeForce gt 750m, which is somewhere near and below the Nvidia GeForce gtx 450 in power)
33booyaka33 even more miraculous is that that's not even at 800 x 600 resolution. at that resolution, I barely get dead by daylight to run at 15 frames, 20 frames.
The music at the end omg. Pure vibes. This takes me back to childhood playing it. Still think it's the best battlefield to date. Exited to see what battlefield 2042 is going to be like though. This intro is my fave and I never skipped it once. 🖤
And now that we have seen how absolutely quality piss-poor EA's new BF2042 is... I wish I was back in 2008. Maybe childhood nostalgia in general, but BF1942 was an amazing game for its time!
2002: Alright, we need to make some exciting background audio that goes well with the theme and makes one's blood rush 2016: F*ck it, just play dubstep
after playing BF4 and listening to the theme tune, I always come back to this just to watch the intro. So much nostalgia with this theme tune good god.
Igor Dugonjic for some time? its not gunna be free for ever now. Only true bf vets would use money on a 11 year old bf game. : ] I remember playing it baaaack in the days, sooo much fun.
haha omg same xD i got all the battlefields cause i love them lol but honestly i love battlefield 1942 best.. i played when i was little adn i still play now xD
yeahh, the golden era of content, based on pure content but not the graphics ❤, only they could have remastered 1942 into BF5, but they didnt and got mixed into shit
I do. These truly were different times... Now it's all about quantity and quick half-arsed money grabs. No effort, no passion, no quality. The whole things has become a heartless mass-production corporate money-making-machine circus.... and this applies to almost all of society since 2016-2018, not just games.
Legendary fucking game. Played it when I was fucking 10 years old. Now I`m fucking 25 years old and I miss this time so fucking much. The Intro is still giving me fucking goosebumps, truly a 10/10 gaming experience.
they should remake this game. and i know a bunch of you are thinking of the frostbite engine and all that shit, but no! just a little better graphics and the ability to aim down the sights. thats it, thats all we need.
you probably mean gamespy, but yeah. i think they were the ones to shut down the servers. but after that EA took the game down completely. they dont sell it anymore at all. so i just wish they would get some new servers up or remake this game. (but not into one of those shitty bf3/bf4 type of games)
nikofinman buddy you ca adownload bf1942 full game legaly it was offered by origin now it has been taken down but you can still download it from modb and i know gamespy was shut dwon but i always get 15 servers who use a third party gamespy/solution and you can download forgotten hope 0.7 (bf1942 mod) who is twice the fun as bf1942 if you want i can give you the link
When we were children and went to computer clubs for a night game session until the morning - I restarted Battlefield several times in order to watch and listen to IT in full. goosebumps !!!
If you need a comparison of how western society changed... You just need to watch this intro and then watch the Battlefield V trailer. It's absolutely insane.
SplendidFactor For real we we’ve changed our views on how Video games should focus on wacky innacurate and lesser known crap and just make games that have to do with real conflicts “Fun” instead of actually showing us what it was actually like to be a part of something like WW2 or whatever
Ahhh those old days... Where there was Medal Of Honour,Call Of Duty,Orginal Battlefields,and the wonderful flight simulatours,ALSO THE GOLDEN AGE OF THE RESIDENT EVIL! It was the golden age of the gaming Until... Now in 2015 what do we have here... WONDERFUL AND AMAZING ''GOAT'' SIMULATOUR,SHIITY CALL OF DUTYS AND BAD BATTLEFIELDS,MOH DIED THANKS TO EA,AND RESIDENT EVIL IS ALSO DYING THANKS TO CAPCOM,ALL THANKS TO EA,ACIVISION,UBISOFT AND CAPCOM. It's probably ''THE DARK AGE OF GAMING''.
***** I did,it was a good old school game,ending was very tragic but ok. But,it's only one game,every other great title is getting destroyed,by the hand of their makers.
this intro has taken a separate space in my mind.. its 2023 and this song still gives me the same chill as it had my first time.. only a true gamer from our era can feel the respect for this game. this intro serves as an anthem to us!!!
+AllCanadiaReject they just fking died, like Master Chief on Halo Reach...The helmet represents the players (Master Chief took his mask off) and the body was the whole Cod Iw (dead)
When I first heard this theme, I had it stuck in my head the entire night. I literally couldn't sleep how obsessed I was with this game and the music in particular.
You could set sail with an aircraft carrier or a battle ship. You could hunt ships in a submarine. You could pilot huge bombers. Your plane, that you flew, was a spawn point. You could fly jets, use jet packs, you could drive tanks, fly helicopters, drive bikes, throw knives, etc... And that was just the official game. Mods allowed you to wage war in Iraq, to drive P1000 Ratte super heavy tanks, to wage war as a pirate, and *there's STILL, TODAY, 2014, MODS BEING ACTIVELY DEVELOPED for this game.* If you judge a game based on how it stands the test of time, then BF1942 is f***ing awesome. Hell, no matter how you judge a game, BF1942 is f***ing awesome. This game is probably one of the best games of all time, up there with WoW and Tetris. It's simply outstanding.
James Donnelly No matter if you like it or not it does still have 10 million people paying more than 10 dollars a month for it after more than 10 years. That's kind of impressive...
***** There were some experiments with it in Germany. I don't think any were actually built, but it was enough to make it into the Secret Weapons expansion pack.
+Chef Guy Battlefield 2 is already a game so that won't happen, besides the battlefield 1 is packed with expansions just like most of EA's crap these days... This was the time when i was a fan.
About damn time, BF4 should have bein Battlefield 1944, and I refuse to call that shit battlefield 1. Battlefield 1942 is the first game dumbshits I think Battlefield 1916 is a good substitute.
Best thing about this intro, everything in it you can actually do in game. Even all the vehicles you seen, is actually in the game. Of course it depends on the map you play and what type of vehicles you will get, but its still in the game.
I am starting to feel old.. I remember a better time, when videogames were made to satisfy customer experience, built with quality and passion rather than quick-half-arsed money grabs, DLCs and quantity over quality. This doesn't just apply to games, but the entirety of society. Everything has just been degrading ever since... I don't think we will ever see such good times again, I will forever miss the 2000s.
RIP Battlefield. I remember opening up my family PC and installing my first stick of ram ( it was 2004, so 64mb sticks and 128mb sticks highest ) in our gateway computer. I have played this game franchise for nearly 20 years. And now it's all over. It's been ruined, destroyed. The core game systems changed. I suppose I shouldn't be shocked since all of the TV Shows, Movies and Games are being remade and ruined and " modernized ", but it still hurt to see what DICE and EA did to Battlefield in 2042. Disgusting and pathetic shell of what a game once was.
Theres a few things I've learned to what happened to franchises when theyre mainstream... Dont fix what ain't broken Good art cannot be replicated When it's to sell instead of being created, it sucks..horribly. my favorite franchises Mortal Kombat and Command and Conquer have suffered this fate..
Man, tthe nostalgia made me shed tears. This game was the reason I fell in love with WWII FPS games and BF series when I was a kid, I remember used to not skip the intro everytime I start the game, the good all days man :(
i was watching this with a big smile on my face because when i used to play this it was the happiest time of my life, i miss my friends on those lobbies
These truly were different times... Now it's all about quantity and quick money grabs. No effort, no passion, no quality. The whole things has become a heartless mass-production corporate money-making-machine circus.... and this applies to almost all of society since 2016-2018, not just games.

For an old game, this had so much content. From driving carriers and submarines to bombers to self propeled artilleries. Such a packed game
The mods had even more content! Never matched in any commercial game later, probably over 1000 different vehicles and hundreds of maps. Not to mention several dozen total conversions (WW1, Winter War, Vietnam, Star Wars, modern warfare). Hell it still gets around 300 people online daily, which proves the game had a lasting quality
Imagine this in BFV with all the tech nowadays...
today you can buy some gold skins...
Desert Combat, Forgotten Hope, Galactic Conquest, Eve of Destruction.... Man I if only I can go back and re-live those moments....
And no Battlefield game has ever returned to the scale of 1942's combat.
It's 2020 and this intro still sends shivers down my spine.
same and it's in the middle of 2021.

😭😭 same bro got a ryzen 5 5600x and rtx 3070 but I still can't play the games which I purchased from my pocket money when I was a kid only to find out that my old pc was garbage and my pc is too new to play those old titles
It still works fine, playing ok on Win10. You just need the no-cd and wide-screen patch. Also the master server workaround if you want to relive nostalgia online with other folks.
Aside from the obvious aesthetics, I'm a great fan of the perfect synchronisation of the music with the corresponding video parts.
Around 0:36; the two most distingushable trumpet notes seem to mimic bombing alert sirens
0:43, view changes to navy and so does the "mood" of the trumpets
The explosion at 0:51
Helmet at 1:12
Last three rockets around 1:24
Close view to diving fighters between 1:30 and 1:32 with notes somewhat resembling the fussilade
Even the two torpedoes going off at around 1:38
Perhaps even more, but those I found particularly satisfying.
I’m glad someone selected has an eye open for theses incredible renders.
I'm so happy someone else notices it and gets satisfaction from it, It's really nice.
I played this game on day 1. Back in the days I was too poor to afford the right computer. I played with a laggy computer I managed to salvage and played on extra low resolution.
Battlefield 1942 was the first game where you could use vehicles like that. It was magical and everyone playing it felt the same way. The community was the strongest and most passionate I have ever seen. Later, I joined a clan and we played with mods such as Desert Combat and Forgotten Hope
Forgotten Hope was the freaking best!
The Lazy Bastards clan here.
@gabp590 it was crazy being able to drive vehicles on a map like that. It was like, is this real? this is allowed? this isn't breaking physics?? my computer can stand this? like.. what ? ??
as an 35-year old game veteran, i have tears...
O man dont get me started. Ripping it up with my clan on a Stalingrad & Berlin 24/7 (pure) ctf server. While speaking on ventrilo or teamspeak. Practicing for our next skrim. These where the best gaming days for me. It will never be the same

I FUCKING WANT BATTLEFIELD WW2 GAMES AGAIN.
don't we all
that would be awesome
You can reinstall them for free (any platform,but not ps4 and xb1(xbox 1)
Same here! would love to hear the old theme too!
IKR!
I just got this on Origin yesterday since I was curious and have never played a Battlefield game before... GOD I LOVE IT! Especially this intro! Just gives me chills every time I start up the game.
i remember when old games have intros like this
Imagine this game in the new Frostbite Engine. With destruction, lighting, graphics. Come on DICE, make people love you even more
They did this once on Xbox 360, BF 194*3*
+Joe Beans but not in european theatre :(
Air Everywhere Sadly, thats true...
coming soon
Uh I have BF1943 on my PS3...
Anyone else who came here to cry some nostalgia tears after the Battlefield V reveal trailer? :'(
Still best Battlefield.
finealey some one else who thinks that bf1942 is the game EA has made
33booyaka33 well, BF1 seems better to me. and before you hate me, I'm going to say that because it is almost identical to 1942 etc. except modernized (by that i mean the gameplay, engine, etc) and has much funner vehicles. not to mention it miraculously runs on my potato computer at 30 frames and still has good graphics. (it's a laptop with Nvidia GeForce gt 750m, which is somewhere near and below the Nvidia GeForce gtx 450 in power)
33booyaka33 even more miraculous is that that's not even at 800 x 600 resolution. at that resolution, I barely get dead by daylight to run at 15 frames, 20 frames.
Still the best game
join online to us
The music at the end omg. Pure vibes. This takes me back to childhood playing it. Still think it's the best battlefield to date. Exited to see what battlefield 2042 is going to be like though. This intro is my fave and I never skipped it once. 🖤
And now that we have seen how absolutely quality piss-poor EA's new BF2042 is... I wish I was back in 2008. Maybe childhood nostalgia in general, but BF1942 was an amazing game for its time!
2002: Alright, we need to make some exciting background audio that goes well with the theme and makes one's blood rush
2016: F*ck it, just play dubstep
Back when people cares about game theme songs and they weren't just a tradition that SOMETIMES APPARENTLY they get right. Love the newest one.
😂😂
Have you guys heard the BF1 theme? If you haven't search for it and give it a listen, it's really good.
Efforts people.. efforts. so many efforts to build the feeling of the game was so good. Thesedays meh.
imo, I have bf1 and I feel that they don't play the theme music enough in the menus
like they did in the earlier battlefields...
When the music has got it's own emotion, that's when you've done a good job.
after playing BF4 and listening to the theme tune, I always come back to this just to watch the intro. So much nostalgia with this theme tune good god.
i would like BF5 will return to this Era ...
Igor Dugonjic for some time? its not gunna be free for ever now. Only true bf vets would use money on a 11 year old bf game. : ] I remember playing it baaaack in the days, sooo much fun.
haha omg same xD i got all the battlefields cause i love them lol but honestly i love battlefield 1942 best.. i played when i was little adn i still play now xD
aND HOW IS THAT WORKING OUT FOR YA?
Brings back so many memories. Remember when games launched complete with lots of content?
yeahh, the golden era of content, based on pure content but not the graphics ❤, only they could have remastered 1942 into BF5, but they didnt and got mixed into shit
I do. These truly were different times... Now it's all about quantity and quick half-arsed money grabs. No effort, no passion, no quality. The whole things has become a heartless mass-production corporate money-making-machine circus.... and this applies to almost all of society since 2016-2018, not just games.
i miss this game so much, they need to remake it in all its glory every map was huge and so playable.
battlefield 1942 remastered would make my life worth it.
***** battlefield 1942 is origin under free games... (german store)
Sweet :)
Manuel Lackner Yeah but a remastered version would be glorious.
I've been playing it all week its brilliant, took me a while to remember how I had my controls setup, flying the ww2 planes is so much fun.
Watching this after bfv trailer , cried.
Wer ist er?
BF1942, BF Vietnam, COD 1-3, and Madden were literally my childhood. God, I miss those days
Bf1942 and MOH Allied Assault were my childhood
its damn right
BF1942, Runescape, CoD 1 and 3, Medal of Honor Allied Assault and Medal of Honor Vanguard
+Runertje550 allied assault and vanguard were amazing
+chaosXP3RT Yup plus CS 1.6/Source.
Legendary fucking game. Played it when I was fucking 10 years old. Now I`m fucking 25 years old and I miss this time so fucking much.
The Intro is still giving me fucking goosebumps, truly a 10/10 gaming experience.
same shit buddy
@@hemanthsaikumar.p8672 boy next doooor
And not a single game has made an intro which I wouldn't skip since...
they should remake this game. and i know a bunch of you are thinking of the frostbite engine and all that shit, but no! just a little better graphics and the ability to aim down the sights. thats it, thats all we need.
and im only saying this because the game apparently got taken down? just when i was about to buy it again... fuck you EA...
It's not EA the company that owed the servers shut down and I think it was Gamespot
you probably mean gamespy, but yeah. i think they were the ones to shut down the servers. but after that EA took the game down completely. they dont sell it anymore at all. so i just wish they would get some new servers up or remake this game. (but not into one of those shitty bf3/bf4 type of games)
The masterserver was shut down. The servers work normally. You just need to know the IP-address of the server you want to join.
nikofinman
buddy you ca adownload bf1942 full game legaly
it was offered by origin
now it has been taken down but you can still download it from modb
and i know gamespy was shut dwon but i always get 15 servers who use a third party gamespy/solution
and you can download forgotten hope 0.7 (bf1942 mod) who is twice the fun as bf1942
if you want i can give you the link
Chills go down my spine everytime that submarine at the end passes...
When we were children and went to computer clubs for a night game session until the morning - I restarted Battlefield several times in order to watch and listen to IT in full. goosebumps !!!
Как самолёта красиво летят, хотел бы я побывать в то время, почувствовать на себе эти ужасы войны
If you need a comparison of how western society changed... You just need to watch this intro and then watch the Battlefield V trailer. It's absolutely insane.
SplendidFactor Fuck Genderfield V
this , miss the old days :(
Battleshitfield is gonna to be total crap
What? Clint Eastwood's films re-released with Michael Bay as the new director?
SplendidFactor For real we we’ve changed our views on how Video games should focus on wacky innacurate and lesser known crap and just make games that have to do with real conflicts “Fun” instead of actually showing us what it was actually like to be a part of something like WW2 or whatever
Came here after the disappointment of the Battlefield V trailer just to remind myself what a proper ww2 battlefield was like...
Best BF intro and best BF game. The old school !
still gives me goosebumps whatching this after all these years
Ahhh those old days...
Where there was Medal Of Honour,Call Of Duty,Orginal Battlefields,and the wonderful flight simulatours,ALSO THE GOLDEN AGE OF THE RESIDENT EVIL!
It was the golden age of the gaming
Until...
Now in 2015 what do we have here...
WONDERFUL AND AMAZING ''GOAT'' SIMULATOUR,SHIITY CALL OF DUTYS AND BAD BATTLEFIELDS,MOH DIED THANKS TO EA,AND RESIDENT EVIL IS ALSO DYING THANKS TO CAPCOM,ALL THANKS TO EA,ACIVISION,UBISOFT AND CAPCOM.
It's probably ''THE DARK AGE OF GAMING''.
Yeah, but it's the age of rpg's. Just look at skyrim, dark souls, bloodborne, dragon age: origins, they're all awesome
manuelhenriqu3 Yeah,but what for us,what for FPS gamers?
Nothing but a bunch of expensive shitty games.
MYPD SHP Yeah :/ you should try insurgency though, not very expensive, but fun.
I just wish they would do WWII games again
***** I did,it was a good old school game,ending was very tragic but ok.
But,it's only one game,every other great title is getting destroyed,by the hand of their makers.
Not all is lost. Look at The Witcher. Or Skyrim.
BF1942 is the only game I keep on coming back to for constant 12 years.
Who come from Battlefield V?
BF1942 forever
This was the reason we built our first gaming PC with an Athlon XP Barton 2400 processor, 512 MB DDR 400 RAM and an ATI Radeon X800XT Graphics Card!
I used to watch this intro every time I launched the game. Legitimately every time. The theme is so iconic. Ah, the nostalgia.
Had to rewatch this to cleanse my body of Battlefield Vortnite
Lonthor Battlefield Victoria Secret
@@kentpun4337 lol
LoL
BEST intro of ANY game.... Sorry. So good!
虽然画质有点过时，玩过的所有游戏里，最好的也是最用心的过场动画，感谢当年的制作组。
this intro has taken a separate space in my mind.. its 2023 and this song still gives me the same chill as it had my first time.. only a true gamer from our era can feel the respect for this game.
this intro serves as an anthem to us!!!
After seeing battlefield 5 trailer i had to watch this masterpiece just to feel better
Even in 2015 this is still the best original battlefield game alive
used to have it. lost the second disk and died cause couldnt play anymore. such a good childhood
Even in 2017..
Today 2023 and we online still alive, and waiting for the good old veterans and clans.
This game is my childhood
edit: good old days :')
Nostalgia ;-;
Melhor Trailer neh?
n '-'
Mas pra época,sim
Whats 63 x 92^ 4?
A nada aqui eo carinha que falou Que era o melhlr trailer man Nostalgia Da poha 😇 ESSA INTRO MARCOU!!!
After BF1 I'm hoping for 1944, then Vietnam 2, Bad Company 3, Battlefield 5 and 2143.
So what do you think of Infinite Warfare?
+AllCanadiaReject they just fking died, like Master Chief on Halo Reach...The helmet represents the players (Master Chief took his mask off) and the body was the whole Cod Iw (dead)
Chief did not die on Reach.
+MR.Chickennuget 360 sorry about that
NoobGamr
don't apologize to me apologize to the chief.
When I first heard this theme, I had it stuck in my head the entire night. I literally couldn't sleep how obsessed I was with this game and the music in particular.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY BF1942 U CREATED THE SERIES OF BATTLEFIELDS!!!!!
... still gives me goosebumps in 2016. Ugghh i love it!
still gives in 2019 buddy...
You could set sail with an aircraft carrier or a battle ship. You could hunt ships in a submarine. You could pilot huge bombers. Your plane, that you flew, was a spawn point. You could fly jets, use jet packs, you could drive tanks, fly helicopters, drive bikes, throw knives, etc... And that was just the official game. Mods allowed you to wage war in Iraq, to drive P1000 Ratte super heavy tanks, to wage war as a pirate, and *there's STILL, TODAY, 2014, MODS BEING ACTIVELY DEVELOPED for this game.*
If you judge a game based on how it stands the test of time, then BF1942 is f***ing awesome. Hell, no matter how you judge a game, BF1942 is f***ing awesome. This game is probably one of the best games of all time, up there with WoW and Tetris. It's simply outstanding.
James Donnelly No matter if you like it or not it does still have 10 million people paying more than 10 dollars a month for it after more than 10 years. That's kind of impressive...
*****
There were some experiments with it in Germany. I don't think any were actually built, but it was enough to make it into the Secret Weapons expansion pack.
*****
In the Secret Weapons expansion pack, which wasn't very popular.
Björn Torfi Björnsson an in Forgotten Hope Secret Weapon wich is very popular in the Bf1942 Community~
Battlefield 1918 v3.4 released this month, watch the huge content is mod contains. Join us online. Currently v 3.3 running.
never skipped it once, true masterpiece
Guys They did it !!! Battlefield 1 back to world wars Hell yeah !!!
+Chef Guy Perhaps in 3 years they will release a new battlefield WW2 with great graphics
+Pieter i hope so, if Battlefield 1 means WW1, i think Battlefield 2 will be WW2 ! :)
+Chef Guy Battlefield 2 is already a game so that won't happen, besides the battlefield 1 is packed with expansions just like most of EA's crap these days... This was the time when i was a fan.
+Chef Guy i think it's gonna be named battlefield 1944
About damn time, BF4 should have bein Battlefield 1944, and I refuse to call that shit battlefield 1. Battlefield 1942 is the first game dumbshits I think Battlefield 1916 is a good substitute.
This is like the first video game I ever played when I was a lot younger, so many good memories.
Best thing about this intro, everything in it you can actually do in game. Even all the vehicles you seen, is actually in the game. Of course it depends on the map you play and what type of vehicles you will get, but its still in the game.
I am starting to feel old.. I remember a better time, when videogames were made to satisfy customer experience, built with quality and passion rather than quick-half-arsed money grabs, DLCs and quantity over quality. This doesn't just apply to games, but the entirety of society. Everything has just been degrading ever since... I don't think we will ever see such good times again, I will forever miss the 2000s.
sorry 1942 that bf5 was a let down
This game was my childhood, my god I miss this
+Joran Geeraerts I played it from when I was 6 to 11. I would play this and age of empires 3 all day. Good old days..
join the server, we be there for you.
Never forget when my father went outside for a cigarette so that I can play BF1942 too - good old days
RIP Battlefield. I remember opening up my family PC and installing my first stick of ram ( it was 2004, so 64mb sticks and 128mb sticks highest ) in our gateway computer. I have played this game franchise for nearly 20 years. And now it's all over. It's been ruined, destroyed. The core game systems changed. I suppose I shouldn't be shocked since all of the TV Shows, Movies and Games are being remade and ruined and " modernized ", but it still hurt to see what DICE and EA did to Battlefield in 2042. Disgusting and pathetic shell of what a game once was.
Theres a few things I've learned to what happened to franchises when theyre mainstream...
Dont fix what ain't broken
Good art cannot be replicated
When it's to sell instead of being created, it sucks..horribly. my favorite franchises Mortal Kombat and Command and Conquer have suffered this fate..
Wokeism ruined this game now
It's never over dude. Get some copies and some friends together and make a LAN party of 1942!
This game makes Battlefield 4 fade in terms of gameplay, scope and epicness.
I'm comming back to this after the abomination I saw from BFV reveal
RIP Battlefield
This theme is like a national anthem. Every time I hear it, I feel an urge to stand up and salute.
living proof of humanity going back at time... these were best times for everything, wish we could be same as when we first played this masterpiece
Best feeling BF game ever. Only a few tweaks short of perfection. Sadly new ones dont come close to the grand scale of the first one :(
I agree, although I can't say I don't like Battlefield 3 or 4. Or vietnam, i loved that one too
God I miss game intros like this. Plain and simple without too much unnecessary flash, but still totally bad ass
Man, tthe nostalgia made me shed tears.
This game was the reason I fell in love with WWII FPS games and BF series when I was a kid, I remember used to not skip the intro everytime I start the game, the good all days man :(
i was watching this with a big smile on my face because when i used to play this it was the happiest time of my life, i miss my friends on those lobbies
Best ww2 intro and main theme ever!
