What is Battlefield 1942?

New to Battlefield 1942?

What is Battlefield 1942?

Battlefield 1942 is the 2002 World War II shooter from DICE and EA that started the Battlefield series. Two teams fight over control points on large maps, and every flag lost drains a team's tickets. Pick one of five classes, then take a tank, plane, boat or ship into the same battle. Play Conquest, Capture the Flag or Team Deathmatch with up to 64 players, on the base game's maps and those of the Road to Rome and Secret Weapons of WWII expansions.

Hold the Flags.

Capture control points and drain the other side's tickets to win the round.

Land, Sea and Air.

Tanks, planes and ships all fight on the same map.

What is Battlefield 1942 Server Hosting?

The official servers closed in 2014, so Battlefield 1942 lives on community servers run by clans and groups of friends. A dedicated server keeps your battles online without anyone's PC staying on, and without port forwarding. We install version 1.61 for you on NVMe storage, protect it from DDoS attacks, and give you its match settings in our panel, a live console, and its files over SFTP and SSH.

Always Online.

Your server keeps running when you log off, and starts again on its own after a crash.

Your Rules.

Set tickets, time limit, rounds per map and reserved slots, and resize the server any time.
