Battlefield 1942 (PC)
Release Date: September 10, 2002
Dice and EA’s Battlefield 1942 wasn’t the first WW2 shooter or online FPS.But it was one of the first real attempts at making a large-scale war game, and one that succeeded brilliantly at that. Even playing offline, which I did a lot back in the old days, I had a blast fighting against the game’s bots in large wars set across a series of memorable maps. To this day, people still play 1942 and its countless mods. There’s still something special about the mayhem you can get up to in this 20-year-old shooter. — Zack
