Battlefield 1942?

Hm, no mention of campaign in the announcement? Kind of curious what that means. My assumption though is that a proper dynamic campaign that was originally planned won't be ready with this first release...

Raptor1 · 01-19-11, 01:03 PM

I hope not, one of the things I've been most hoping will be included in Storm of War is a proper dynamic campaign, and it seemed like it was from Oleg's development updates. Guess we'll wait and see...

Though considering how many errors there were in the initial announcement, I wouldn't be surprised if they forgot or simply didn't bother to include the dynamic campaigns.

Dowly · 01-19-11, 01:05 PM

Hope the backgrounds of the campaign works like BoBII's. You, as a pilot, wouldn't see the manufacturing rates etc. but they'd be there 'under the hood'. That'd be awesome.

That's what I'd read previously, yep, and what I want to see. Just noting that it's absent from the Ubi announcement so far...

Thanks. I'm sure that will put a lot of minds at ease.

Thank God the permanent online requirement is out! Whew!

Now the most important question, does it have COOP LAN play?

This is where BOB2 failed.

Fish40 · 01-22-11, 12:49 PM

They certainly had enough time to get it right! Let's hope!

Task Force · 01-22-11, 01:00 PM

IIRC there was surpose to be a ground element in this game? Flak guns or something.

Raptor1 · 01-22-11, 01:03 PM

I think they said the engine could be adapted into ground and naval simulations, or something like that.

Either way, the ground war better be better modelled than in IL-2, I don't want to see Rommel playing bumper tanks any more...

EDIT: Oh, right, they did say something about playable flak guns...
