Title: Battlefield 1942 wins IGNs overall GOTY...
Post by: jiggs on January 25, 2003, 02:37:50 PM
Edging out Metroid Prime NGCs runaway hit. This is the first time I have seen a PC MP game win a GOTY award from anyone. No real suprise this game is awesome.


No other MP game plays like this one. It is a jewel in the gaming world. It just keeps getting better and better.

Medal of honor is better single player. but hardly better in MP. Not even close.

Well I prefer MOH for the precision and strategy involved.  Sniping 3 people in a row with 1 clip is a very satisfying feeling. :)

I tried to get into BF1942 but it was usually chaos and really just being in the right place at the right time with not as much skill needed to get a kill.  There is definitely a cool factor being able to do multiple things in 1 game, but the depth for me just ins\'t there.  Maybe I just need to play the game more...

^^ Without having actually played the game, that\'s the feeling I got as well. At least on the vids it looks a bit more chaotic and in that regard has a certain Quake III feel to it... shoot at everything, ask questions later. Where as in games like Counter Strike, MOH etc. it\'s more about precision ... and stuff. But I could be wrong... hopefully it won\'t take too long before I\'ll tell you myself. :D

Nothing beats the feeling you get when two Tiger-tanks and a few Panzerkampfwagen IV rush over the hills at Kursk totally crushing the Russians.

Awesome game, really worth the GOTY award (first Swedish game to get a GOTY? Cant remember if Ground Control got one.).

add the blood pack. It\'s great. Helps alot to see if you\'re hitting people at long range.    Blood sprays. :D

are there any side effects to the blood pack like crashes, bad sounds etc..., i was thinking about installing it but i was a bit worried about the above mentioned.
