Battlefield V vs Battlefield 1942 | Direct Comparison

[@Nick930]

Thanks for tuning in everybody! I've already made a schedule for future videos this year and am looking forward to bringing you a ton of new reviews, comparisons, and of course, full documentaries detailing the history of some of the industry's biggest gaming franchises.

[@R3DMyst]

And some things weren't technically possible when Battlefield 1942 came out... So comparing two games that are in the franchise but with a 16 year difference really doesn't make much sense, yes BF1942 was good and way ahead of it's time and yes BFV looks, plays and feels a lot better. They've learned a lot over the years (and also made very dumb discisions, but that's a whole different story) These "comparison" videos are total garbage and make zero sense...at all... It's like comparing a rotten apple to a freshly picked one, it's not fair, no matter how you look at it.

Vanilla 1942 was pretty basic as per your vid but the MODs such as Forgotten Hope added much more vehicles and armies and many many more highly detailed and developed maps. You also had offline bot mode so was great for practice or if your internet wasn't great, or just to play a large scale battle without annoying morons trolling you in game. I also think they should slow down the movement of the new ones. It's too much a twitch shooter now. Like Benny Hill on speed. I've not bought BF V yet as there are so many bugs and so little content. I've just bought Battlefront II for £10 ...about a whole year after it came out. Only now has it interested me and there's a new update patch with a new game mode. So finally worth my time. Maybe in a year I'll buy BF V depending on how it goes. Was so disappointed in BF V as I was especially looking forward to the return to it's WWII roots. Ended up with a COD style mess that was broken and more like a bad beta version of a demo they decided to sell.

Ponderous Panda lol BF1 was never too WW1. It was too arcady. Muzzle velocity was far too quick and snipers had barely any bullet drop. Guns also never jammed and had quick rates of fire. Maps barely allowed any tactical gameplay and it was just a grenade fuck fest. It wasn't at all WW1. BFV isn't at all WW2. Battlefield has been proudly a game with historical accuracy but they just made too many fictious errors without addressing that this game is entirely fictious, instead they just defended themself on social media by calling others "uneducated". Previously BF games had realistic campaigns that could be visualised done in reality also because they're modern too. They should've used female russian snipers for a female lead in a war story. Overall the context of BFV and it's controversy ruins the game. The problem with BFV is it's too political. I want to enjoy a game, not be indoctrinated by lies to support an agenda. Women weren't on front lines for allies. They didn't wear blue makeup. No one had prosthetics like the game and fought. The game is not deserving of a Battlefield title. It's a good game but not a Battlefield game. Like NFS MW 2012. Its a good game but a shit NFS game. It's not deserving of that title especially the MW part.

The amount of content in BF1942 (Air battles, naval battles, stuff like that) and BFV has literally no naval combat which was lit in BF1942. I do admit that the BFV graphics are very good, but BF1942's graphics were just amazing when it was released. BF1942 also has a large variety of different mods, unlike BFV.

You can actually have physical projectiles and tracers for all the ballistic weapons as the tanks do fire projectiles..... it just this was not done back in 2002 because a majority of PCs back then would just implode as a result. Mods for BF1942 have actually added this mechanic tho along with other fun things like rag doll physics and iron sights to just name a couple.

I still play BF1942 (modded ofc) at least once per week. I'd definitely love to have destructible environment and better lighting, sounds etc. And especially the infantry gameplay is way better in newer BF titles but for people who like the vehicle aspect more (like myself) I'd say BF1942 has the edge. That was also the part that was barely mentioned in the video.

Remember when we don't have to pay to win the game?

[@Gilhadriel]

I like BfV, and I like Bf42. Loved my time playing ESL, loved baseraping the hell out of an enemy team in bf42 just because ... guys the good old times are not gonna come back anytime soon. There was hacking and bugusing back then, there is now. Overall I'd say the BfV we have today is one of the best we had in a long time. All we need are some big ass clans (32 vs. 32) and a good rental server program that's what I'd like to see.

Nah, the planes in 1942 were easier to fly and hit targets. I swear, i cant even kill 1 person in BF V, but in 1942.. i might be 50/0. Its that big of a difference. Just me? Okay, but i always thought so. Old BF games had better machine controls, maybe cuz animations were less of a priority.

I've had more luck when I started dive-bombing, but it's still way less fun than 1942. Just a grind for stupid cosmetics

[@heradonjust8639]

Planes in BF42 is much more difficult to fly because planes had weight back then and its harder to maneuver, it required much more skills and the skill cap was much higher. Planes in BF5 flies even without a pilot and its almost impossible to slow down and land. You can easily seat switch in BF5, try doing that in BF42 and your plane will fall down like stone.

[@BradiKal61]

i spent DAYS playing the Omaha Beach assault. dont really remember any other maps. it was my first experience playing other people online and it was freaky knowing that someone else was controlling the people shooting at my character

[@TheDAWinz]

1942 is a far better game than V. Also, a BF2 comparison would be nice, for 2005 that game was graphically ahead of its time.

[@Nick930]

It was and it wasn't. There were some really impressive games that came out around 2005. I think Oblivion was around that time. And Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory as well. BF2 was demanding, and had some impressive textures and geometry that required a beefy machine to run smoothly, but it didn't age well, and was quickly put to shame in 2007 by COD4 Modern Warfare. But man.. BF2 was awesome, no doubt about that

[@elegantelephant3341]

BF2 is also the absolute best game in the franschise, and i've played all BF games except BFV on the PC since 1942. (Haven't gotten BFV yet, but it's similiar enough to BF1 to judge it based on that). BF2 had modern BF stuff like unlocks, had commanders. Still had that oldschool BF gameplay. Teamwork was also crucial. Classes hadn't been gutted out like they are in modern BF games. Loved that game.

There’s one thing that never changes though. Easter Eggs. If you go up high enough in a plane in 1942, then get out, but don’t pull your parachute, eventually, if you fall for long enough you’ll hear your character... crap their pants... yeah.

So in short... while BF 1942 sat the stage for FPS games to come and passes the player off as another GI, Tommy, Volksgrenadier, Stelinka, FFI, Konoe or Bersaglieri to fight through 16 different battles (+expansions) BF V is another copy-paste of what has already been seen and lives up to the modern standard for dead-end FPS games... got it...

Here: Battlefield 1942 is historically accurate I switched from cod ww2 to bf, playing bf4 and 1, Now I’m switching back

[@magicker8052]

there are a few things to add 1) the sniper class were able to spot ground targets for the ships guns and the land guns. Allowing them to shoot well beyind site with accuracy. This was a great team play mechanic 2) BF42 was a team strategy game much more than BFV. Teams would discuss where they were going to attack.. race to that place and then hold / push. This was lost as a franchise moved on. 3) BF42 was a golden time for clans. There were hue tournaments / ladders where clans would field players. Everyone would turn up ready tactics in hand and fight to win. The leagues were fantastic. Even if you sucked it was enormously fun. Dice / EA systematically destroyed this culture. for nothing other than greed. Where once anyone could run and admin their own server this dropped down to running only EA approved servers to none at all. Having said that.. we (our clan) are loving BFV but we do miss elements from the good old days.
