Kursk, pilot a fighter or operate shore battery at Midway, command an
aircraft carrier or jeep at Guadalcanal, and take charge of a bomber

of WWII. The game will be available for the PC in summer 2002 for the

Battlefield 1942 for the PC will support up to 64 players and give them
the ability to fully experience World War II combat. Gamers will also

well as command numerous land vehicles, ships and aircraft. With larger
craft such as a bomber, the game will allow players to choose what stations
they serve - pilot, gunner, bombardier, etc.
Battlefield 1942 will also feature large and detailed maps that allow
players to strategize a variety of battle plans. The fighting in Battlefield
1942 takes place in the most famous and pivotal battles of the Second
World War from Europe, Pacific, Eastern Europe and North Africa. Sixteen
maps from these four theaters of WWII will be included. The game uses
a proprietary engine named the Refractor 2, the most robust 3D rendering
engine available and fully fleshes out the action.
Though multiplayer experience will be the focus of Battlefield 1942
