Default Battlefield 1942 online

I have to say I'm not normally a big computer game fan but a couple of my mates are addicted to this, so I decided to give it a go.

On single player games, I'm pretty good. I can win even with the settings on impossible. But when it comes to online multi-player... it's just impossible. The other guys are so good!

Anyone on here play online?

I play online a fair amount!

I (sadly) organise a "clan" of mature gamers http://1942.lanse.co.uk

We're looking for new players.

Just realised some of the links are dead. . .try here for the forums.

Cool site, like the 'propoganda' page

I'll probably be mature by the time I get the hang of it... I'll look you up!

Hmmm, interesting BlkKnight - might just have to reinstall my copy and swing on over

Is it BF1942 you guys play ? Or Desert combat ? Or Vietnam ?

Cheers

Were officially a 1942 / BFV clan, we mainly play 1942 as BFV is very hit & miss.

We're a very social bunch who meet up on-line regurlarly & in real life every other month or so.

When not playing clan games we play CS Source, Warcraft3, Zerohour and loads of other stuff

Yep I play for a BF1942 / DC clan, it's great. We all went to a LAN at Middlesborough last weekend - 18 of us (some from Denmark !). And yes, I'm old enough to know better ! And yes, the missus thinks I'm a sad git !

You just need to practice to get the hang of it online. You'll get your *** whipped initially but it's worth persevering with

I'm getting the hang of helis now so that's helping. I've gone from a kill ratio of 15/1 to about 7 or 8 to 1... but the guys I'm playing are probably crap LOL

I never really took to bf1942, was heavily addicted to counter strike, but the game was getting very demanding time wise to stay at a good level. I do play Joint Operations which is fantastic, definitely worth a try.
