GameSpot's Battlefield 1942 Q&A talks with Lars Gustavsson, the executive producer at Digital Illusions on Battlefield 1942 in a conversation that took place at a recent press event at the offices of Electronic Arts. In the Q&A they discuss progress on this upcoming World War II shooter that the article describes as "a decidedly lighthearted game that focuses on simply being fun rather than being realistic or historically accurate." The discussion covers how the new game relates to their previous alternate-history WWI game Codename: Eagle (including a frank discussion of what of Codename: Eagle's shortcomings they are looking to overcome), what sort of single player experience will accompany the multiplayer component, the fact that you can fight for either side in the virtual war, what level or realism is to be expected, and more. In addition to the interview, they have posted a video interview that includes the first-ever look at some gameplay footage, albeit via the ShakyCam(tm), along with some commentary on what it is we are seeing.
