Development, marketing and releaseД«attlefield 1942 was built on the formula of the less successful Codename Eagle video game, set in an alternate history World War I. The Engineer has the ability to repair damaged vehicles and stationary weapons, and they also have the ability to deploy explosives, which are highly effective against both enemy infantry and vehicles, and land mines, which destroy enemy vehicles on contact. The Medic role has the ability to heal (himself and other players), but his sub-machine gun has less stopping power than the Assault's weapons. The Anti-tank role specializes against vehicles and tanks, but their main weapon is inaccurate against enemy infantry.

Assault is the standard role, and provides very aggressive firepower. For example, the scout role has long-range surveillance, high stopping power and the ability to provide spotting for artillery shelling against an enemy position (unlike other games with a similar feature, other player characters must also supply the artillery fire) however, the sniper rifle is not designed to be used in close-quarter combat and players frequently treat this role as just a plain sniper role by not providing spotting for artillery. Regardless of which nation is chosen by the player, there are five different roles of infantry that the player can assume the role: Scout, Assault, Medic, Anti-tank, and Engineer.Д®ach role has its own strength and weakness. The Allies consists of the United States, the United Kingdom and the Soviet Union, while the Axis consists of Germany and Japan. The player can choose to play as either the Allied team or the Axis team. For a team of 32 on a 64 player map, with 150 tickets, this means a little less than 5 re spawns or deaths on average for every player if they hold their starting spawn points. As a general rule, the fewer spawn points controlled by a team, the more tickets they lose. Teams also gradually lose tickets depending on how many spawn points they control. Every team starts each round with between 150 and 300 tickets, depending on the team's role (e.g., defense). Every time a player on a team dies and respawns, his team loses one ticket. Spawn tickets also play a vital role in the success of both teams. Therefore, sometimes the winning team must hunt down straggling or hiding enemy forces at the end of a round. A team loses tickets when its members are killed, but also when the other team holds a certain number of the capture points on the map (typically when a team holds the majority of the capture points). A team wins the round when the other team runs out of tickets. And if no one is alive, the team with no 'spawn' points loses. When a team loses control of all their control points, they cannot respawn. The default game play mode, Conquest, centers on the capture and control of control points once a team captures a control point, its members can respawn from it. The maps in Battlefield 1942 are based on real battles and are somewhat realistically portrayed.Д«attlefield 1942 features combat both as infantry and in vehicles. The location determines which nation-specific armies are used (for example, on the Wake Island map, it is Japan versus the United States, while on the El Alamein map, it is Germany versus the United Kingdom). Combat is always fought between the Axis Powers and the Allies. Players also have the ability to fly various World War II fighter aircraft and bombers, navigate capital ships, submarines and aircraft carriers, man coastal artillery defenses, drive tanks, APCs and jeeps, and take control of anti-aircraft guns and mounted machine guns.Д®ach battle takes place on one of several maps located in a variety of places and famous battlefields in all of the major theaters of World War II: the Pacific, European, North African, Eastern, and Italian Fronts. In-game, players assume the role of one of five classes of infantry: Scout, Assault, Anti-Tank, Medic, and Engineer.
