Battlefield was formative in this area, as the many creations players made would directly influence future installments in the series.

Mods have become a less integral part of the gaming landscape, mostly being restricted to simulation games, creative games, and open world RPGs, but the legacy lives on through community content creation on YouTube, Reddit, and other social media platforms. Galactic Conquest, on the other hand, attempted to turn the game into the Star Wars game DICE would eventually be given control of many years later with Battlefront (which was in itself inspired by Battlefield).īattlefield Vietnam (strangely missing from Battlefield Portal despite appearing in Bad Company 2) would continue to hold on to the franchise’s historical roots until Battlefield 2 came out, but both would take this degree of realism, weapon choice, and detail and integrate them into the mainline franchise. Total conversions were surprisingly common, with Forgotten Hope successfully replacing every nation’s weapons and vehicles with correct models and damage outputs. The most popular was by far Desert Combat, which added modernized assault rifles, M16s, rocket launchers, helicopters, and planes to the game. While modding was never directly supported in 1942 or onward (save for an older Battlefield 1 graphics overhaul mod), the themes of the added weapons and vehicles would bring visions of the future and would even be directly acknowledged by EA itself. The community would really start to take advantage of internet stunt videos during Battlefield 3, but 1942 paved the way for creativity like that to be expressed and shared. Beyond being a realistic, strategic wargame, Battlefield was also a vehicle and weapon sandbox that let its players show off stunts and push the physics engine to its absolute limit. Of course, Battlefield “combo” and “trick” videos are nothing new, nor are they gone in 2022, but the “LoopZook” and other videos like it were a pioneering moment for the game and its popularity. Related: A Depressing List of Battlefield 2042's Missing Features Battlefield's weapons, guns, and janky movement made the act of sharing crazy stunts or crazy killstreaks that much more enjoyable and brought fans together. In 2002, this scene was developing for gaming as well, and Battlefield 1942 already being a pioneer in the online gaming space made it a breeding ground for early internet content.

The feedback so far has been that MP is the most stable yet in Beta 5 Patch 2 which is now available as opt-in.Before Youtube became the behemoth it is today, forums and sharing sites were the way to talk about games and share videos peer to peer.

Once a session is started, the messages are essentially peer-to-peer bounced off of the HOST PC and each player's PC runs a matching deterministic copy of the game simulation. In terms of messaging architecture, the lobbies and matchmaking screens communicate via Steam.

We may end up hiding or otherwise password protecting restored sessions. If a new player joins, the HOST has the option to convert an AI slot to a Human slot that the new player can join. In this case, if someone joins the restored session lobby and was previously part of the game, they will automatically claim the player slot they were previously using. It is also possible to save and restore multiplayer sessions. At any time, any player can queue up improvements on their colonies, select destinations for their ships, and tinker with most of the screens. That player's ships will move immediately upon selecting a destination, and that player can engage in combat, surveying anomalies, and invading planets. One player will be in their 'move phase' at any time. Once in game, play is what we call 'simultaneous planning, sequential execution'. Either your computer is the HOST or you find someone's game to join. It's not like Battlefield or similar games with always-on servers that you can join and leave at any time. We will probably also have some prebuilt 'arena' maps for release. I would recommend sticking to the smaller maps (Tiny through Large) for multiplayer sessions because the pacing is a better fit for MP in those maps. Once everyone's PC has finished initializing the map, the game begins. Players can use custom factions and custom ships, these get transferred during game initialization. At that point the lobby is hidden and the game commences to start. Once at least 2 players are in the lobby, the HOST can choose to start the game session. The HOST player can also add as many AIs as they desire. Currently up to 4 humans can join the lobby. That lobby is then visible to anyone else running the same version of the game. Doing so take the game creator (HOST) to a new lobby screen. Anyone can create a session using 'new game' in the Multiplayer matchmaking screen.
