Some weapons for some reason feature left-handed bolts.īeing a 2002 video game, there is only one reload animation per weapon, and no tracking of chambered rounds like later Battlefield games.
The following weapons can be seen in Battlefield: 1942 and its two expansions: The game and both DLCs, along with Battlefield Vietnam: Redux were later made available in a box set, titled Battlefield Anthology. Secret Weapons of World War II was the final expansion, and is a more fictionalized take on the war, with the British and Americans facing off against Nazi Germany, with both sides using increasingly more outlandish weapons.
The first DLC, Road to Rome focuses heavily on the Italian campaign and introduces the forces of the Free French and Fascist Italy. The base game follows the main theaters of World War II, focusing primarily on the Americans, British, and Soviet forces (patches later added a mission for Canada as well) facing off against the Axis powers, Germany and Japan. The first game in the hugely successful Battlefield series, Battlefield: 1942 was released in 2002 for the PC, with two expansion packs ( The Road to Rome and Secret Weapons of WWII) following later.
