First PC shooter I ever played as a kid. I was really young and always crashed the planes. I never could get online working because we had dial up so I just played AI missions with no mods countless times with a big ass smile.

I spent years of my childhood playing Modded online PVP maps with my brother on this game. He was a senior member of KIA clan & codded his own maps. The best Battlefield ever created.

Back in my day, we played our shooters on CD-ROM and we didn’t have any goddamn battle passes

i spent too much time on mp and i had lotta fun

The brits on this game are just like the real brits.

Alright it was kind of a mess, but it was the sheer SCALE of it all (for the time) that bowled us over. This whole era of online games clicked so well for me and my friends probably due to us finally beginning to have semi-consistent broadband connectivity.
