LANDING CRAFT RAMPS
- When commanding a landing craft (the driver seat) use the arrow
keys up/down to lower and raise the ramp. This helps your team
clear the landing craft quickly.
SINGLE-PLAYER GAME
- Battlefield 1942 will set your default number of bots in
singleplayer for best performance based on your hardware
configuration. If you have a Recommended system (800 Mhz/256MB
RAM/64 MB video card) this should fall around 12-20 depending
on the map. Systems which meet the minimum requirement will
be under that, and systems above the Recommended system
requirements will be above that. You can always adjust that
number if you desire prior to playing a map.
CLEAR KEY-BINDING
- If you have mapped a key to a command in the Options section
you can clear it one of two ways: 1) You can map another key
to that command or 2) You can select that mapped key and press
the ESC to delete all keys bound to that command.
PLAYER LIST
- The in-game player list (TAB) will only show the first 20
players in each team on a map. If your score sets you as the

these, once the attacking player takes the beach landing, the

other flags on the land the attacking tickets will slowly
degrade as in other ASSAULT maps.
LANDMINES/DEMOLITION PACKS
- An engineer can disarm these by crouching and using the wrench.
When this is done, they will appear in your inventory up to the
maximum allowed.
SNIPER ZOOM

AFTER you shoot. As long as you keep that button pressed you
will remain zoomed and can see the chaos your shot caused. Once
you release the button, you will unzoom and reload.

could be considered as spamming, your interface will be disabled
for a short while.

yellow on the minimap for a brief moment. This is to give you
quicker feedback on their location and thereby the importance of
