But BF 1942 loads really really slow, around 4 mins to load a new map. The first 30-40 seconds of the game are very laggy, but then the game is smooth. What are the ideal requirements for BF 1942?
BF1942 was WAY too slow for me. With a ping of like 70-80 I'd pump and entire clip into someone and they would still be standing. Accuracy just seemed off on everything. Same problem with retarded teammates though.

wholly cow, i don't know how you run 1942 on that system at all? i have a 1800@2.4ghz 1gb ddr, radeon 9000 pro overclocked and i run 1024x768 @ 16bit with all graphics turned to min except view distance which has to stay at max for obvious reasons. i could go higher, but absolute smoothness is required to play well. the game is ram hungry, you need over 512, it easily climbs over it, esp desert combat. it needs a fast video card, and fast cpu. and for loading, it needs a fast harddrive, mine are relatively recent. takes maybe 20 seconds toload a map, and theres no lag after for me.

musta been way back or ur choosing really lousy servers. i take down people with a lousy pistol all the time 70-80 ping aint bad...
Sniping was the worst. I'd have the crosshairs on someones chest, who was standing still btw, 5 rounds later he's still standing

Well, I just finished playing bf:v for a while...and I dont have much good to say about it.
Theres nothing really to speak of the weapons, because a gun is a gun. Its basically the same weapons as bf1942.
The vehicles were pretty much the same as well. The chopper was alright, but the missles never shot anywhere near the crosshairs.
Gfx are nice, but theres the same weird mouse lag problem at high reses. But my god the glitches! The game was glitching like I had my card overclocked too high. I put it back on stock, but kept having the same problems. My gun would dissapear, and all the PS effects are screwed.
So basically, its BF1942 with better gfx minus all the fun. Theres only one way to play in this game, and thats to hide in the bush. If you dont, youll get shot. From someone in a bush. The game is a campfest. The helicopters are cool, but you cant find anything to shoot at cause everyones in a freaking bush!
I really, really was trying to like it, because despite all its quirkyness, I did enjoy bf1942 at times. But this is just a step down. Its just plain not fun to play.

Theres a reason why people havent been making too many vietnam games, and thats cause hiding in a bush or getting shot from one is not a fun game.

Man, I hate to sound like Im unfairly criticizing this game but...its just getting worse. Id prob be able to enjoy it a bit more if my gun didnt stop glitching and random appearing and dissapearing. Ive even tried underclocking my radeon and still the same problems.
The best part about hiding in the bushes is that when youre the one who's lying down, you can actually see through the grass. Of course, no one else can. So you can be brave, and run out in plain sight and try to cap a flag, but every single vc in the bushes can see you clear as day, and you have NO IDEA where they are! Sure youll hear them fire and see the muzzle flash, but youll prob be dead by then.
It is fun to fly the choppers around, but theyre even harder to use than desert combat. At least in DC you could point slightly down and still fire, but now any single pitch will drive you nearly directly into the ground. And some genius at EA also decided that if theres music playing when youre in a vehicle, it should be in the rear speakers only.
In the end, it improves in basically no way over bf1942. Goes downhill in a lot of respects, but its a lot prettier. Sniping is still as impossible as before, even though your shot was DEAD ON, more than half the time its a miss. But dont worry, youve got plenty of shots, cause no one will see you.

And on an extremely irritating note, it rearranged ALL MY FREAKING ICONS, as if my resolution was 640x480. I have to replace them every single time I play the damn game!
