This game is all about Axis vs Allied forces. Besides, the single player scenarios pale in comparison to the fun and excitement of the multiplayer battle.

Granted, things are a bit better with the bot AI this patch, but only use this mode to learn how to control the vehicles. They will stand still, run off in the wrong direction, run in circles, waste valuable vehicles, and forget to fight. Do you want bots or do you want humans as your opponents? In this game, humans, because the bots can be dumb as hell sometimes. There is a single player element to the game. To recap, BF1942 is a WW2 based FPS, with action stressed over realism. The gameplay remains the same as the original BF42.

Reload times for bolt-action rifles has been decreased. All of the engineers get a bayonet for their rifle.

The Free-French get a Sten SMG, and the Italian forces get a Breda SMG. The new weapons include 4 new tanks, 3 types of anti-tank guns, and two new planes. However, only on the new maps can you use these weapons. The new maps make use of the new troops and weapons nicely. Operation Husky, for example, is similar to the Omaha beach map, yet it is 3 times bigger. The maps themselves are larger than the typical BF42 maps, allowing multiple strategies to win. With this expansion, you get 6 new maps, 2 new armies, and a multitude of new weapons to play with. Road to Rome is an expansion pack to the highly successful Battlefield 1942.

Fight your way to victory on the Italian front in some of the fiercest battles of World War II. “The war is far from over…” All roads lead to Rome in this expansion pack to Battlefield 1942. Grizzled veteran Starfury gives his take on the new Road To Rome expansion pack to the acclaimed Battlefield 1942!
