With a year gone by the roles are largely reversed. I was entirely frustrated with trying to play the game online and my review sparked torrents of hate mail. I find myself in an awkward position to an extent because I was one of only a few people who reviewed their game at release and ripped it a new asshole. The only serious bug remaining in their product is the chat lag, and while some annoying features persists (like the long load times between maps and frequent CD checks), DICE has done what they could. However, over the year since BF1942's release they have demonstrated a genuine devotion to their game beyond what you can normally expect from a developer.
DICE gets a lot of flack by default for being associated with Electronic Arts. A year later I can honestly say that not only is Battlefield 1942 a completely improved game, but its community has flourished and a handful of epic and promising mods have been released. I mentioned in my review that I hoped Digital Illusions, the developers of Battlefield 1942, would correct a lot of their errors. I loved it on one hand, because it did so many things that no other game really offered, and I hated it on another, because it had severe almost to the point of crippling problems and bugs. A little over a year ago I wrote a review for Something Awful of Battlefield 1942, one of the most hotly anticipated PC gaming titles of 2002.
