Learn how to customize and setup a basic Battlefield 1942 multiplay server.

  This is a quick guide to setting up your own Battlefield 1942 server. This guide covers both Battlefield 1942 and its expansion pack Road to Rome. You must first enter the game, and wait for the main menu to appear. When it does, select Multiplay and then Create Game

A full-sized window should appear:

Most of the server's information can be entered here:

Note #1: You should consider the maximum amounts of players depending on you're connection.

Note #2: If you decide to check the "dedicated" box, you will not be able to play in the game from that computer.

Dedicated is generally for people who host servers on one computer, and play from another. Ping is generally lower on dedicated servers Next, it's a good idea to choose what type of game you are going to setup, as each game type has different maps available, and some maps aren't supported by some game types.

Simply click on you're preferred type.

Maps will appear below. Simply select them, and then click the > to add them. Which ever order they are added is the order they will be played. You can remove selected maps by using the < arrow, as shown beside.

Once you have set the server up to your desired settings, all that's left to do is launch the game.

Simply select either Start local or Start Internet. Launching an internet game will mean people will see you're game on the server list and join it, and local games are LAN games, or games with you and bots.
