This game is what I compare all multiplayer war FPS to. I spent so many hours playing this game with friends and had a blast with so many "Battlefield moments". The destruction in the engine is unmatched to anything today, pretty much everything thing can be destroyed and it changes the dynamics of the battleground.
I used to rocket/c4 a path though buildings to flank some tanks and campers. There were so many times where it was just 2 or 3 of us holding down the a blasted down gatehouse in Karkand to buy the rest of our team time to back cap and win. Few games now that gives that "Battlefield" experience: pulling off a miracle or overcome some insane odds. My favorite moment was my friend going prone to dodge under a jeep trying to run him over, then c4ing it afterwards to survive and gloat.
The most recent BF2042 misses this mark and why this franchise had so much fanfare: fun strategic team-based gameplay, semi-realistic shooting, and dynamic environments that make players feel like they can change the outcome.
I would love it if GOG can bring this multiplayer experience back. It is the best game in the franchise (as of 2025) that sadly newer players would never be able to experience.
