Battlefield 1942: The Complete Collection is the ultimate FPS experience. Included are all three Battlefield expansion packs in addition to the original: Battlefield 1942, Battlefield Vietnam, Secret Weapons over Normandy, and Battlefield 1942: The Road to Rome. From the beaches of Normandy to the rock n' roll of Vietnam, every mission is available for a quick attack or an overnight multiplayer marathon.
In Battlefield 1942, you're a WWII soldier on a true-to-life battlefield, equipped with weapons that look and sound authentic, able to storm the beaches on foot or seamlessly jump into and out of any of 35 vehicles of war. The depth is incredible. While on foot, you play as one of five specialized classes (assault, medic, scout, antitank, or engineer) with varying equipment and abilities. The choice of vehicles ranges from a selection of tanks, jeeps, and other fairly standard mechanized land vehicles to exotic craft like battleships, submarines, and dive bombers. Best of all, you can pit yourself against your fellow man in objective-based online battles in four distinct WWII theaters of war: North Africa, South Asia Pacific, Western Europe, and Eastern Europe. This is everything that World War II Online should have been. This is Tribes 2 with better code, graphics, control--everything, and without the cheesy sci-fi trappings. This out-WWIIs Medal of Honor and Return to Castle Wolfenstein. This game is like the ultimate sandbox, with all the best toys.
Battlefield Vietnam: The Battlefield franchise enters a new era equipped with more firepower, modernized weaponry and vehicles, and a deeper infantry experience from the jungles to the beaches of Vietnam. From villages on the Ho Chi Minh Trail to the city streets of Hue wage modern warfare as the United States or North Vietnamese Army (NVA).
Secret Weapons over Normandy: Join a secret squad of pilots dedicated to thwarting the most heinous plans of the Third Reich. Fly over 20 authentic aircraft across 30 daring missions in this new WWII action-flyer. Lawrence Holland, the legendary creator of Star Wars X-Wing, Star Wars Tie Fighter, and Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe returns with an exhilarating new game of action and intrigue. Can you be trusted with the most dangerous secrets of the war?
Battlefield 1942: The Road to Rome: Battlefield 1942: The Road to Rome is a multiplayer-focused expansion pack for more exciting WWI combat action. You'll battle in the Italian and Sicilian campaigns of the war, on six new maps and real world missions like Operation Husky (Sicily) and the battles for Anzio and Monte Cassino. Use 8 new vehicles including the German BF-110 and British Mosquito fighter bombers to lead two new fighting forces - The French Legionnaires and Italian forces. You can even work with 3 new weapons - A rifle grenade launcher, the British Sten SMG and bayonets!

This set includes the original game (Battlefield 1942), plus two add-ons (The Road to Rome and Secret Weapons of WWII) and a completely different game called Battlefield: Vietnam. To get right to the point:
1942: This game features a number of more or less historical battle scenarios covering the years 1942 - 1945, and featuring such combatants as the USA, Nazi Germany, Fascist Italy, Great Britain, Free France, Russia and Japan. In each game you pick a side (Axis or Allied), and once the battle's commenced, choose which type of soldier you want to be: infantryman, engineer, medic, bazookaman or sniper. Each has different weapons and different advantages, and disadvantages, to the player. In addition, there are loads of playable vehicles, from motorcycle sidecars to landing craft to tanks, and in some scenarios, playable aircraft as well. The objective of every scenario is to "capture the flags" by seizing various control points on the map, and by defending them once they are captured. As you will most likely be shot dead or blown up a number of times each scenario, you can appear on the battlefield in many different guises (sniper, medic, whatever) during one battle; you can also pick up the weapons and equipment of the dead if you wanna change, say, from a Browning Automatic Rifle to a Schemisser. The very best scenario on here is "Omaha Beach", which is action-packed, requires good tactical thinking, and is equally fun played on either side; but many of the others are cool as well, including the airborne scenario "Arnhem Bridge", the desert battle "Battleaxe" and the brutal massacre that is "Stalingrad."
Road to Rome: This is the same game, but adds a number of battles specific to the Italian campaign of 1943 - 1945. It would be worth owning just for the superb "Monte Casino" scenario alone, an all-out brawl between the Germans and the French commandos for control of a monastary atop a huge hill.
Secret Weapons: Again, the same game, but with a number of scenarios featuring "wonder-weapons" such as jet aircraft, guided missles, super-heavy tanks, and yes, even a jet pack. This has some outrageously fun stuff on it, including airborne assaults and commando raids like "Kelby Airfield", "Mimoquoyes", "Essen" and "Telemark Research Base."
Vietnam: This game came after the others and is better graphically and in terms of playability and sound-effects. It covers the Vietnam war from the POV of the USA, plus North and South Vietnam. The weapons are fantastic, especially the M-60 machine gun. It also addresses some of the smaller problems of the previous games, such as providing a counter to show you how long it will take before you "own" a control point. It even has great rock music by the Clash, Jefferson Airplane, and CCR. On the downside, it has many boring scenarios. The best seem to be "Cambodian Incursion" and the various Hue battles.
What works for Battlefield as a rule is that is reproduces combat in a fairly realistic way without being too realistic to be fun. There is a great attention to detail on such things as uniforms, weapons, and equipment, and the variety of weapons and vehicles is pretty impressive. Some of the battles, such as Omaha Beach, Monte Cassino, Cambodian Incursion, Essen, Telemark, etc., etc. are almost criminally addictive, and it's just a trip to drive a Tiger tank, get behind a 50-cal machine gun or squint into the scope of a sniper rifle and try to pick off bad guys from 300 yards out. It's also cool to play a scenario from one side and then tackle it from the other; you see the challenges of both attack and defense from the tactical point of view. Though the game is an FPS with plenty of grenade-hurling, machine-gun firing action, it also requires some thought. Simply charging up the middle with guns blazing works occasionally, but like as not it leads to a little message in the corner that says that Hans-Jürgen Klossmeyer just killed you with his trusty K-98.
Now we get to the flaws. The first, and most annoying problem is the design of the boards. Many are too large versus the number of troops involved, which means a lot of tedious running-around. Next beef: the aircraft. A lot of the scenarios have aircraft you can fly into battle, and a few ("Battle of Britain" for ex.) revolve entirely around flying. Given the beautiful graphics on the planes, that would be great...except that between using the mouse and the keyboard as controls, it's nearly impossible to do more than take off, fly in a straight line, and then crash. Another huge issue, in my mind, is the fact that no matter how many friendlies you have nearby, every enemy soldier seems to shoot exclusively at you. Topping this is the fact that the enemy's accuracy is often astonishing (nothing like getting killed by a pistol shot taken at a quarter mile's distance), and sometimes his tanks and so forth seem to be indestructible, while yours often seem to be made of tin. Finally, the number of "dud" scenarios is painfully high.
I'd like to wind up by saying that despite all the flaws, this remains a good time and a great bargain. Between the total number of scenarios and the fact you can play each from either side, there's a lot of game here, and the gaming is often good. To misquote General Patton, "All real Americans love the sting of battle, especially when conducted from your chair with beers in easy reach."
I decided to finally break out the cash a few months back and bought the complete collection of the Battlefield games and all of them are great, though to this day I just can not get a grasp on keeping any sort of flying machine before I plow into the ground hahaha So, I tend to stick to the ground and swim when I just can't fly the distance. I just love the AI though, since let's face it, the graphics aren't exactly modern day looking compared to what we see these days, but, since the playability is soooo enjoyable, you really loose site of any seriously missing visuals, as they are really good at tracking you down and finding clever ways to out with you as you try to do the same back with them. It truly feels like they are thinking of what stunt you might be thinking of pulling on them (the enemy). I enjoy driving things a lot, like the tanks, and now even the tougher to deal with tanks, such as ones that really require two people in the vehicle to make it work as intended and sometimes you have no options but to drive and jump into the turret and hope that you parked the tank at a good angle to let you hit anything, or you just wasted some serious time having to reset your position and then hope to get a shot off. Hahaha Tooo much fun, I tell you, too much. It's fun too, to also be a simply soldier on the ground and run circles around an enemy tank as fast as you can while tossing grenades (hiopefully) under or at least close to the tank and it's treads and best, underbelly. But, you can die very fast playing this sort of game hehehehe Anyway, I highly recommend that anyone who just wants to have fun playing a great game and isn't too concerned about the most recent graphics, this game gives you most everything you could want.... it's FUN TO PLAY! :)
