Bump.  It's very fun with 32 players.

Yep, downloaded it this weekend and have been playing. Ran into some avatar named "pyro" on the Akagi. Is PYRO playing BF1942, didnt see HITECH or anyone else. The game is a hoot, total havoc but the graphics is great. Trying to fly the planes is like trying to control an insect but everything else is pretty fun. Lotsa guys with crappy net connects though. Nice graphics, typical EA game. Its fun alright.

Won't even run on XP for me... MP demo CTD's before the game even loads.  SP CTD's just after map load.

Skurj,

      It's a known Issue that has a work around.   The game does not like NV refresh tool.  If you  reset you monitor refresh back to 60 MHZ it works fine.    I have to admit, it's hoot.   Don't worry about realism, just get in there and capture the bases :)

Got to play a few games, and it's a little too arcadish. plane control is a little tough, i.e. imprecise. you have a max altitude and can't do loops, so it's very hard to hit ground targets with guns. The allied plane is an SBD, although it looks much like a f4u, and the axis plane is, well, I'm not sure. it seems to be a val, but the gear retracts, and it's way too manoeuvrable, although considering the nature of the game that ain't suprising.

tank and bazooka shooting is a little weird, since the bullets seems 10 times as heavy (read : fall down fast).

It lacks authenticity, and you don't feel it's much true. but the game is well donw, and it's fun to drive the destroyer around and bomb the allied airbase.
