How the battles worked (all orgs)

  • Mainpage battle map: Weekly objectives & territory changed on the website campaign map; armies planned ops from there.
  • Long single-day battles: WaW ran marathon Saturdays (64-player). 21CW BF2 era ran Saturdays commonly 12:00–18:00 ET. IC:JO ran long Sunday ops.
  • Chain of command: Generals → HC → companies/regiments; ranks, medals, strategy docs.
  • Voice comms: TeamSpeak with public TS info often posted on TotalBF2/TotalGamingNetwork.

2002–2004 — BF1942 & Desert Combat (DC era)

  • DC surge defines the format: two armies, persistent campaign, ranks, medals, weekly ops.
  • MFOTS + early BFE/WaW experiments lay groundwork; 21CW grows out of the DC scene.

2002–2006 — The “big four” take shape (WaW, BFE, 21CW, IC)

  • WaW: BF1942 → FH → FH2; 64-player long Saturdays; regiments, medals, dynamic campaign map.
  • 21CW: DC roots → BF2 (2005) with custom 21CW mod; mainpage map drove weekly ops.
  • BFE: BF1942/DC tournament with divisions/companies and weekend battles.
  • IC (JO): Two Generals (one per army), Sunday ops, IC/ICE (IC4) mod lineage for Joint Ops.
