First impressions of Battlefield 1942 maps like Operation Husky and Monte Santa Croce, and a look at the vehicles.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    The maps in Battlefield 1942 are considered impressive.
  2. 2
    Operation Husky is a D-Day type level where the Allies can paratroop or use landing craft to get to the beach and capture Italy.
  3. 3
    Monte Santa Croce is a king of the hill type battle where the Allies and Axis start on opposite sides of a river and must race to capture the seven flags on the hill first.
  4. 4
    The new planes are notable for dropping 4 bombs at a faster rate than the B17 and are decent at destroying other planes.
  5. 5
    One player achieved a 66-3 score with the new planes in Operation Husky on the day they bought the expansion.
  6. 6
    Tanks in Battlefield 1942 are described as awful with a small horizontal range.
  7. 7
    A new stationary gun, the anti-tank gun, is available but is nothing special; it functions like a defgun but the user is exposed and it is meant to destroy tanks.
  8. 8
    While having new armies like the Italians is cool, it is not considered important besides the story line.
Tips
  • Focus on the new planes for aerial combat and bombing runs.
  • Be aware of the limitations of the tanks and stationary anti-tank guns.
  • Explore Operation Husky for a D-Day experience and Monte Santa Croce for a king of the hill challenge.
