So I'm playing BF 1942, Wake Island Instant Battle Singleplayer, with me and about thirty bots against thirty bots of the Americans, I'm playing Japanese. The object of the scenario is to reduce you opponent's tickets to zero. 1 ticket = 1 soldier. Soldiers respawn at one of five control points on the map.

Anyways, at the point I thought the Japanese were going to lose this one, the Americans controlled the five control points on the island. The Japanese tickets stood a one hundred while the Americans had three hundred and fifty.

One hour later. The Japanese did lose, but not before launching a large counter attack under my leadership. Finally tally:
Control Points:
4 under Japanese control
1 under American control
Japanese Tickets: 0
American Tickets: 90

Quite a comeback, turning what would have been called a total victory into a minor victory for the Americans.

Why are you playing single player?

Because, even with my new computer and fast online connection, I can't download the two latest versions of BF 1942 without the download stalling halfway through. So if someone knows a better site to download from other than EA Games, or someone who plays online with the version 4.5, then please tell me.

Play multiplayer coop, then you can play by yourself with more tickers/bots. Which is especially cool on those stalemate maps.

Also, you might wanna download a download assistant, so you can restart your downloads halfway through.
