Title: Battle Field 1942 Post by: Casper on May 26, 2003, 03:46:04 am He do any of you children know if bf: 1942 is going to come out for macs? I played it and it is off the hingies!
That is all. Title: Re:Battle Field 1942 Post by: kami on May 26, 2003, 04:07:19 am I heard something about it coming out for mac, not sure if it was just a rumor. Would be awesome if it did come, great game.

Title: Re:Battle Field 1942 Post by: Mr. Lothario on May 27, 2003, 05:43:22 am Snipe, have you ever even played the game? I presume not, since if you had, you would not have specified free multiplayer. The multiplayer in BF1942 is the same system as RS, UT, Q3, GhR, etc. ad nauseum. You buy the game, you connect to somebody's server, you play. Free multiplayer.
Title: Re:Battle Field 1942 Post by: *DAMN Mauti on May 27, 2003, 04:32:33 pm The head of Aspyr said in a 8 week old interview that BF 1942 won't come for mac because the PC developers don't want to give away their engine code.
Bye, Mauti Title: Re:Battle Field 1942 Post by: BeefyFigure on May 27, 2003, 04:42:30 pm Oh my God. Bastards.
Title: Re:Battle Field 1942 Post by: kami on May 27, 2003, 06:26:21 pm Ah, you're right Mauti, my mistake.
Title: Re:Battle Field 1942 Post by: Mr. Lothario on May 28, 2003, 05:23:20 pm That's a rather specious reason for refusing a port. It's not as though the porting company finishes the port and then goes, "Ah hahahahaah! The fools have given away their code! Now we make a cheap knockoff of their game and sell it! Ah hahahahahaha!" The porting company signs legal contracts in blood which prevents them from doing anything even remotely harmful with the code.
So, are the developers just idiots, or is there something else going on? Title: Re:Battle Field 1942 Post by: Brain on May 29, 2003, 03:54:11 pm mb the original company is porting?
Title: Re:Battle Field 1942 Post by: Cossack on May 30, 2003, 04:50:28 pm Electronic Arts I doubt it.
Title: Re:Battle Field 1942 Post by: Supernatural Pie on May 30, 2003, 08:44:30 pm Snipe, have you ever even played the game? I presume not, since if you had, you would not have specified free multiplayer. I just remembered I was thinking of WWII Online, not BF 1942. Title: Re:Battle Field 1942 Post by: |MP|Nomad on May 31, 2003, 05:19:43 am well i was in stores today and there they were, BHD and Raven Shield only for PC.
