A little disappointing really. Firstly, max 12 players? Geez, hope they didn't break a sweat trying to figure how to get SO MANY into one map. (sarcasm).

No vehicles of any sort. Again, ugh.

Only one mode aside from a Team Deathmatch mode. Geez, again, come on.

Finally, 6 maps, 3 recycled from old game, 3 copied from the single player game? Did they run out of money or out of creativity?

The flag capture mode sounds interesting, since it's not traditional capture the flag. However, overall it still looks pretty weak IMO. The freedom affording in the single player campaign still sound very cool, but the only real innovation here for multiplayer is parachuting in, and I'm not sure that overcomes the above listed shortcomings of limited players, limited modes, no vehicles and old maps for the multiplayer mode.

I was wishing they'd do better. Sigh.

The reason it says max of 12 is it's a review for the xbox which is being beta tested and why they have info on it. I'm guessing the other details could be wrong as well for PC.....

I think they where in a hurry to make it

[UNDEAD 1]

i would imagine its going to be exactly like cod u/o with better graphics. the flags mode would be exactly like domination (which ive always been a fan) which first started in bf1942 . i dont know where these guys are getting off saying ww2 games are dying? im an avid ww2 reader,watcher and gamer. to this day i may watch an episode of history channel even though ive seen it 10 times already on ww2,i believe most who play these games are the same . although ive been playing cod2 alot, i still think that theres a missing bridge between the u/o community and cod2 community and moh had the chance to be this bridge . i remember when i first payed cassino (being were on topic as of late) with one tank per side and i would play dom mode, the tank was very vulnerable and not as dominating as in say ponyri and seemed more realistic.



for the record ,(if i can remember right) when bf1942 and moh were slowing ,cod came in with almost exactly the game type as airborne -then u/o expansion.they may be testing the waters to see if itll sell.

missing bridge?

Imagine the potential this multiplayer mode COULD have.

Firstly, how about you get to pilot your own slow moving plane into the dropzone for your drop. Or how about a player can even designate himself a "pilot" and pilot repawning players.

Now how about German's having anti aircraft batteries installed so they can shoot and destroy incoming aircraft, especially around their key entry points to their main areas. The deeper you fly in, the more dangerous you make it for yourself.

How about Germans having a limited number of tanks and jeep to defend.

How about special secondary weapons for allies. Maybe a mortor team where one player can carry shells, another mortor.

How about Allies being able to hotwire civilian vehicles around the landscape? Or, of course, being able to steal German vehicles.

How about a mode where there is only one objective (like a base) Germans must defend. Games would be time limited and there would be two rounds per game, with players being switched after each round.

How about new maps designed especially wuth these unique multiplayer modes in mind, instead of old stuff.

These are ideas I threw togther in 5 minutes. I could go on. There are a lot of creative angles that could be worked into the basic premise that the Germans are on defence from an allied airborne attack. It just seems to me that no one is trying to be the "best", to be innovative. It seems the idea of the airdrop is the only innovative angle here, instead of using it to create a more complete gameplay experience that is hard to find.

MAybe an expansion pack will address this, but what they're pushing out the door sounds pretty ho-hum to me. I think the single-player game sounds great, but the multiplayer sounds like only a minor wrinkle over tons of other stuff out there.

you just named every aspect of bf1942.

[M@ster of Dis@ster]

No I didn't. I have BF2 and there is one game type, a sort of domination + deathmatch. I assume BF1942 was the same. What I don't like is there's no major "thrill" that if I get a certain objective (like blowing a base), we win, like in base assult. Instead, 90% of games you can tell who is going to win half way through because it is score based and once a team starts winning and dominating, a turnaround rarely happens. Sometimes the last 5 minutes are a total waste. You're team either is too far ahead or behind to make a difference.

Some of the things I described are from BF1942 I'm sure. That's OK isn't it? Hell, I'd be happy with a COD/UO clone with better graphics and a few enhancements! Instead it sound a little like Airbone is going with the absolute minimum. Essentially two game types, one a stripped down version of domination (only 3 flags), and two types of deathmatch. Only unique thing is only one team parachutes in. Meh. COD/UO still has more innovation and it's 4 years old!

Understand Undead that I was looking forward to hearing what Aiborne would be, unfortunately it sound very similar to the average multiple on most 3d shooters. No vehicles, basic complement of weapons, only one or two gametypes, limited maps, etc. I'm disappointed. I was hoping it'd be a future game for this clan. It doesn't sound like there's enough there though to capture enough imaginations yet.

YEAH, i agree with you mod . the thing with the three flags may be cool if its like cnq type game play though.
depends on the maps,really . where did it say the map list?

[Genocide Junkie]

Guys you are reading a review of the game for XBOX. Not PC. So getting riled up about what it may or may not have is a bit premature... I have a REALLY bad feeling you are about to see ladders begin to close in TWL for UO and COD2 so you better get use to something different. I know they just closed our 6v6 TDM ladder because it had less than 10 active teams. If I'm not mistaken one of our UO ladders is at 10 teams and two of those have no record. TWL is also requiring PB to be streamed which is going to result in more teams dropping I bet. So the death of our games continues.... let's not shoot down these games before we even play them.

Just wondering where you got your information from MOD?

Copyright law has gone nuts if you need to get a license to depict a 60 year old jeep in a computer game. To think we have to pay extra money for a game because it is in it! Then they whine that people download games from torrents. Yeesh.

Again, I ask, why is there no game with a Base Assult or Base Assult-like mode?
