Battlefield 1942 is an action-packed first person shooter video game by Electronic Arts. Players are placed in the midst of a raging WWII battlefield and have access to 35 machines of war including vehicles, ships, and aircrafts. Set during some of the most famous battles of World War II, players can storm the beaches of Normandy, drive tanks through northern Africa deserts, pilot fighter planes at Midway or parachute into enemy territory with jeeps. Players must use their weapons and skills to fight against enemies on land, sea and air to win each battle.

Rising Storm is the latest game in the Red Orchestra franchise. It takes realistic graphics, audio and gameplay of RO2 to a new level by enabling players to fight iconic battles from WWII's Pacific Theater. Players can take part in beach assaults, jungle fighting and close quarters night-fighting as either US Army/Marine Corps or Imperial Japanese forces on up to 64-player servers. Asymmetrical warfare is also introduced with the Americans having an advantage due to their semi-automatic rifles, fully automatic weapons and flamethrowers while the Japanese rely on knee mortars for indirect fire, booby traps made from grenades and close quarter combat using bayonets and katanas.
