Re: Current State of BF1942

the game still looks very alive to me, especially because we have clan wars....
if it were dead, we wouldnt be talking about 1000 people online every day.... tongue

Re: Current State of BF1942

As long as there are clans who are still playing together, then the game won't die. As soon as that stops though... it will dwindle even more.

Having spent the last few days on SiMPLE and aX server, mostly just watching players and doing admin stuff, I have come to think about the current state of BF1942. After I had already kicked a dozen of players on aX server within a few minutes, because some people don't seem to give a damn about rules or are simply clueless about the game, I began to feel like I was slowly transforming into a second Yoda, so much so that I could almost feel the force.

I could have easily made the whole server empty but then who would have been left to play with? And no disrespect to aX of course, for s[sk] is doing a great job, and SiMPLE and all other servers aren't much different.

I know that there have always been noobs around since the dawn of mankind but even a few years back when you filtered out all the noobs, there were still enough great players left to have fun with. I had hoped that when EA gave away this game for free there would come a swarm of new players who would help keep BF1942 alive, but I think these people are destroying this game just like the Mongol hords, not giving a damn about the culture.

What do you guys think, is there still any hope or did this game already die many years ago and I just didn't notice?


dont think too much about public players

playing public means switching off your brain, running around, camping a bit and being happy about scores like 50-0.
if you like this kind of playing, stay on public servers like SiMPLE, aX or Torture Box.

if you want some serious action, join a team and play matches vs (almost always) equal teams
ofc, you still can play public sometimes, but then you have a choice between serious gaming and noobing around.

thats the advice i can give to you.

Re: Current State of BF1942

Yeah, I think I was exaggerating a little. You are right about public servers, and it's also normal that after so many years a game will lose players. However, I am happy that there are still communities like this one that keep the game alive.
