Battlefield 1942 went on to be a huge success and spawned not only sequels, but popular PC mods.
Refraction Games merged with another Stockholm-based developer called Digital Illusions CE (that’s DICE for everyone keeping track) and, together, they built Battlefield 1942 for the PC.īattlefield 1942 played like the lovechild of Codename Eagle and what appeared to be part of the recycled feature list of Valve’s cancelled Team Fortress 2: Brotherhood of Arms. This World War I-themed first-person shooter was built by a Stockholm-based developer called Refraction Games, and mixed on-foot shootouts with vehicular warfare. Before there was Battlefield, there was a game called Codename Eagle.
