But the fact is that until a significant update is undertaken. Of course there are some utterly stupid players out there, and it can be hit and miss finding a decent game. Some players even seem content to take up valuable slots and waste their time fooling around with heavy machinery when they should be doing their practising against bots. Aside from the way in which people conduct themselves, the multiplayer game plays out in identical fashion to the singleplayer. The 16 maps set across each WWII theatre - from the D-Day landings at Omaha Beach to the final days among the rubble of Berlin - are identical down to the last tree and sand dune, with tanks, jeeps, APCs, aircraft and ships available to hop into in the same places as you would expect.
Climb aboard an APC and your human driver will at least head off in roughly the right direction, and even those left to journey on foot will happily follow behind to support your advance. However, objectives may differ depending on the server. The Conquest mode charges you with capturing vital control points. You can also play Capture The Flag and Cooperative games as well.
Co-op unfortunately isn't that hot, as vacant slots are taken up by Al goons. CTF on the other hand is quite a laugh, since rather than trying to steadily make an advance, you simply have to make it to the flagpole at the enemy base and bring home the cloth to score a point. However, unlike Conquest games, it is possible for a side with rapidly dwindling reserves to steal a point by racing in and out of the enemy base in a jeep. Singling out choice maps is considerably difficult since they are all of a high quality.
Certainly the most popular are the Pacific maps like Guadalcanal, Iwo Jima and the Wake Island level from the multiplayer demo, as they feature all types of vehicles. Maps focused around urban combat Stalingrad, Berlin also seem popular, while desert maps co-starring British and Germans are lower down in the pecking order. Despite their almost universal high quality BF would certainly benefit from some smaller, more focused locales for eight-player games or less.
If you are unfortunate enough to be lumbered with a 56K modem, you should find that you can still play games with up to 16 players, without too much lag but it's rarely the case that you will get a decent game. Thankfully there are plenty of servers available to join. Even if you do have to settle for one sparsely populated with players, it usually isn't long before all the spaces are filled and you can get on with the task at hand with a full complement of men on both sides.
The genius of lies in its superb combination of simplicity of design and ambition of execution. You enter the battleground as a basic foot soldier, armed with anything from a sniper rifle to a rocket launcher, and from there you can jump into any of 35 air, sea and land vehicles.
Grab a jeep, a tank or lumbering bomber plane, man a fixed-gun emplacement, defend a battleship against waves of oncoming fighters, or simply run sabotage missions with a bulging sack of explosives. Rather than the hardcore war simulation it could have been, opts for a pick-up-and-play arcade sensibility that puts the focus firmly back on fun and frantic competition. On current form appears to be a classic in the making, and with three months of fine-tuning still in front of it there seems little doubt that it will wind up being a multiplayer favourite for many years to come.
It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning. Aptly we are at a similar juncture in PC gaming - perhaps the beginning of the end or the end of the beginning of a phase that has seen a blitzkrieg of WWII-themed games over the last two years across every major genre, from strategy and simulation with Sudden Strike and IL-2 Sturmovik , to the recent first-person shooters Return to Castle Wolfenstein and Medal of Honor: Allied Assault.
And with production lines still running on a war footing, there seems to be no let up in the number of WWII games coming our way. Whether or not fatigue could be setting in, one thing's for certain, it won't be over by Christmas.
Fortunately Battlefield: looks like it could be a lot of fun, for while it may look slightly inferior to both Wolfenstein and Medal of Honor , in the gameplay stakes it could well end up offering a great deal more. As you may already have worked out, the game will allow players to fight missions as diverse as the Normandy landings, the Arnhem parachute drop, Midway, the Tobruk siege and the massive Kursk tank battle.
Even more important than the settings, however, is what you can do across them - an incredible 35 vehicles will be available to control, including tanks, jeeps and APCs on land, fighters and bombers in the air. It's quite an impressive show of force, backed up by an arsenal of 19 different weapons, ranging from pistols, sniper rifles and machine guns, to bazookas, mines, flame-throwers and hardmounted weapons.
While you may be thinking this all sounds a bit over ambitious, let me just remind you that while Battlefield will offer a single-player game with bots, it will be online that developer Digital Illusions plans to take over from the likes of Medal Of Honor. Similar in scope to its predecessor Codename Eagle which was a rubbish single-player game anyway , Battlefield has a lot more in common with games such as Tribes 2 and the up-and-coming PlanetSide, except of course that rather than mincing about in Power Rangers costumes shooting popguns and flying around on butcher's blocks, you could be escorting a bomber manned by your mates, while your comrades bombard the enemy defences from a battleship as 30 chums storm the beach.
As with Tribes 2, up to 64 players can fight across a single map, some of which will be a wide as 4km, which on foot could take a good half-hour to run across. Just to add a Team Fortress flavour to the mix Battlefield players will be able to pick a player class for their character, including Assault, Medic, Scout, Antitank or Engineer, and game modes will feature Team Deathmatch, Capture The Flag, Co-operative and Conquest modes - in which each team must capture and hold key areas, and the more they hold, the more it will eat into the 'lives' or respawns the other team has remaining.
It's with some thanks that despite its FPS mechanics. Battlefield: has ambitions away from the realism of today's more contemporary tactical shooters, the emphasis is squarely on team-based arcade action. And as the WWII war machine grinds relentlessly on without apparent end, Battlefield: seems destined to provide a good few of gaming's finest hours. Although it has a solid multiplayer teambased focus, this single-player demo should still give you an inkling of what's to come when it hits the shelves next month.
This demo is set in Tobruk, the scene of one of Rommel's greatest successes in the North African campaign before Montgomery thwarted his efforts at El Alamein.
A barren desert landscape means you'll have to make use of potholes, trenches and scattered bunkers to survive. Your objective is to secure all the outposts, which to begin with are almost all occupied by the allies. However, playing as the allies isn't any easier. The German outpost is a large factory with several machine gun batteries and tanks at the ready. Despite it's age, this is still a stellar mulitplayer game, pitching two teams of 32 players against each other in a variety of now classic maps.
Back in , Battlefield needed a high spec PC and fast internet for the time. That's not the case any more, meaning almost anyone can enjoy this great 32 vs 32 player first person shooter.
Set on a variety of now classic maps in World War II, Battlefield looks its age, but the creaky graphics can't diminish the excellent gameplay. Capture the flag in Battlefield is one of the best online multiplayer games of all time. It's much more accessible than Battlefield 3, and you won't feel outgunned by players with superior firepower. The different classes of soldiers you can play are well balanced against each other, with snipers, infantry and so on.
There are a variety of vehicles that spawn on the maps during a game, from jeeps to fighter planes. Battlefield encourages teamwork, whether it's two or three players teaming up to man a tank and guns, or just infantry storming a base with sniper cover. You can play as a 'lone wolf', but it's much more fun and interesting playing cooperatively. You capture flags in bases simply by being near the flag pole, and the more players near a flag, the faster you capture. Battlegroup42 RC4, Forgotten Hope 0.
