Warfare 1942 is an action shooting game that takes you back to the beaches of Normandy in WW II. This multiplayer battle game can be played from two perspectives - the Allies or Coalition, but no matter who you are, each soldier will be fighting to survive.

How to Play Warfare 1942

In Warfare 1942, your task is simple - survive. You can play the game on defense and hide behind sandbags and buildings to avoid enemy fire or you can go on the offense and use as much of your artillery as possible, as you run out onto the front lines to protect yourself and your teammates.

Early rounds ease you into the game with prompts to help you understand how to maneuvre your player. You will be tasked with things like picking up a dropped rifle, tossing a grenade into a machine-gun nest, lining up a shot against an opponent. Pay attention to these game mechanics because once the tutorial is over, you’re on your own in the middle of the battleground.

Warfare 1942 Weapons and Vehicles

You will start your mission with a knife and work your way up to guns, rifles, and sniper scopes. You can drive the tanks, and they serve two purposes: to plough your way through defensive lines or for cover against enemies.

There are a few modes you get to choose from. The mode select screen lets you jump into Deathmatch, Mayhem, At Knifepoint, and Capture Point but you have to earn it and level up to get there. You are on a team so remember that your kills count toward your team total, displayed as a live tally at the top of the screen.

Tips

Check the minimap. Your enemy positions show in real time and this will help protect you and your team.
