The Evolution of Wake Island in Battlefield 

Also in 1942 you could drive the Aircraft carrier to another position on the map.

The detail difference between 1943 and bf3 is crazy

Wake island is the rainbow road of BattleField...

Battlefield 2 is fantastic game

To hear that bf2 music gives me chills. Loading screen on 42% and „ENEMY BOAT SPOTTED“ were the first things came up my mind. Nostalgically

When we get a glimpse of BF2 i had to salute. I almost shed a tear. Just nostalgia kick in... One of the best gaming years.

OMG that BF2 music...memory banks activated.

BF2 honestly still looks pretty decent

You included BF2142. How nice is that!

"The year is 2002" me: *screams in toddler*

Jack jumping on the 2143 support train, choo choo

Omg that bf2 music immediately covered me in a wave of nostalgia. So many memories.

BF2 / 2142 were glory days

Battlefield 2 was the greatest game ever. The only issue in BF2 was the aim stability for the crosshair elsewhere 6/6 stars.

Bf2142 a hidden gem for me. Best battlefield game ive played and I played Them all. Miss boarding those titans.

Battlefield 2 one and only love best game ever

You didn't talk about Battlefield Heroes :(

I miss Strike at Karkand, Sharqi Peninsula and Dragon Valley

I want to cruise aircraftcarriers, submarines and fly torpedo-plains like in bf1942

I'd love to see new Strike at Karkand, maybe in the next game.

BF1942 and BF2 are the all-time best Battlefields.

1st time i played Wake Island was BF2. I was still like 6-10 (yeah i started gaming pretty early. Thanks dad) and it was my favorite map besides Karkand. I loved driving a boat from the US side around the island. I feel it was at its Peak in BF3 thanks to destructible areas. And I think I'll get BFV now that Wake is back

2142 best soundtrack of all battlefield games.

I miss the ability to take off in a plane that is already on the map, dont like their newer system of having it only spawn from the ui

Iv played most versions of Wake. But my fondest memories are Wake from 1943 on the PS3. For about a year I was incredibly sick and didn’t go out much and spent a lot of time playing 1943 and Wake there just seemed like the peak as it was essentially the classic 1942 map, but with destruction.

I love this type of content Jack! Feels good to take a break from the gameplay now and then

BF2 is love

I just want that tank warfare from BF3 back. That was my favorite era of tank battles. Especially on that desert map

Ok so i was playing BF4 for the last 2 weeks and saw BF5 was on sale. 'Might aswell give it a go' Hell do i regret that decision.

The Wake Island map was added later in 2142. We need to go back to that era, would be such a great change.

Shout out to the BF3 version of wake island going crazy with the F-35 ✈️✈️✈️

I still remember when I first launched BF1942 and watched the intro. The Shermans rolling in the desert, the theme song playing in the background, I had shivers down my spine. Then I played a game and realised I could drive a destroyer around the sea to blast people off the beaches or just run around shooting the BAR, I have never been more excited and happy about a game than in that very moment. Battlefield nowadays just don't feel like that anymore. That "Woah you mean I could do anything???" excitement. Boy I miss the Battlefields from 1942 to 2142. Those for me were the "real" Battlefields.

Battlefield 2 Wake Island so many good memories just seeing the clips is scary to think how long ago that was I remember how everyone would rush to the helicopter to get a seat to the Island and of course sniping players on the airbase on the Island who tried to get into the jet good times.

god this makes me miss bf2 SOOO MUCH :'(

A classic map!! Cool video Jack! Ty!

should also mention the forgotten hope mods - FH1 for BF1942 and FH2 for BF2, both mods had Wake Island as well.

Bf2 was the best

Thanks for all the great vids in 2019 Jack! Keep up the great work! 👍

thanks . searched for the comparison few days ago:) good video more about comparing maps

Thanks for the great nostalgic look into Wake Island. I remember playing them all.

Holy crap, I forgot about 2142 wake too! It was one of my favourite 2142 maps seeing it in this vid reminded me of going for all the diff flags, great vid as per mate. Merry Christmas.

The music hitting me deep in the nostalgic feels 🤩🤩 Still in very special place in my heart the Battlefield franchise having played everyone bar the last few!

Have a Merry Christmas Jack. Great video as always.

Instant goosebumps when Battlefield 3 was shown and the music came on

Seeing that plaque in BF3 is soo trippy. I grew up playing BF2 and 1942.. There was one LAN center in town everyone went too, and BF2 was what most of the kids played while the owners who were older played 1942. But once the normal customers left around 9pm, the owners would set everything up on one server and everybody would all hop into a wake island LAN and just go nuts. Free energy drinks and had a whataburger one block down that stayed open all night. So many good memories.

YES I love these history videos :’) would love to see these more often

JF thank you for the look back at Wake Island through Battlefield development ,it shows all the work that .went into giving us such a great game

Excellent vid as always!

Awesome vid jack!! That’s all! Just awesome!

BF 2143 please ;-;

Battlefield 2 was one of my favorite games of all time. So many hours and nights playing the shit out of it.

Good video jack! Your channel inspired me to make videos

BF3 wake island was sooooo good!! Great video @JackFrags. Watching videos like this reminds me of playing the older battlefield games

I've spend so many ours in BF2.. first time I joined clanmatches and ranked leagues. I've met some awesome (American) people playing that game which I now still have contact with and visited in the states (I'm from Europe)

Merry christmas Jack and family and a new happy 2020 year , greetings from hans of the dutch lowlands nl 👍👌

Love this style of video!

Great video Jack, Wake Island is definitely an icon and a BF series staple.

Congratulations on 3 million subscribers jack!

Seeing BF3 makes me so sad. That was my favorite time with the franchise.

that music from bf2 bring back memories

Happy Christmas Jack!!

You're littelry the best content creator i know, i have been watching you for years, and to this day i still watch you !

9:41 he's definitely giving us a clue about a bigger explosion... While walking on top of some pipes🤔

Congratulations on achieving 3 million subscribers keep it up

For 1943 you could just to the go to the tutorial which takes place on wake island and use that. You basically have free roam to the entire island and all the vehicles, spawns and flags.

Yes mate I was looking for a video like this a few weeks ago

i just saw that he was walking on the biggest explosive in the entire map as he hinted at it at the end 😂 That explosion is so cool! the closest thing we have to Levolution in battlefield 5.

Great video jack

That bunker explosion 💥 though 😳👍🏼

nice video jackfrags

That BF2 loading screen music is super nostalgic. So awesome.

Merry Christmas, Jack! Much love for the wishes regarding 2142 - I share the exact same feelings! ;D

Nice work jack

Battlefield 2 made me addict to BF games. Still playing now new BF for time to time and will play in future. Nice video Jack!!

Another good video man. Congrats on 3m followers ! I joined at 1.2 😳 Well done chap. 👍🏻 Ps - do more He’ll Let Loose ! The game is moving on nicely

Thanks for the stroll down memory lane! I also played 2142 a ton and do not remember wake as a map and I am with you a 2142 sequel would be awesome which is what I thought they were teasing near the end of the BF4 maps that had the titan on the Hangar 21 map.

Jack I just wanted to let you know that your high effort videos are the reason I bought battlefield 4. I love bf4 MP and I'm trying to unlock every weapon. Keep up your amazing content!

Man!! The content you deliver is soooo special!!! Its amazing!! I have seen BF veterans!! But you are just something else Literally the best The BF community loves you

Excellent Video Really nice to watch in 1440P which to me is the best resolution I have ever sen for smooth game play and clear rich sharp Graphics.. 4K still a bit sluggish

Hi Jack, as a Mac user, Battlefield 2142 was playable on my computer and was my first Battlefield experience. I rarely hear anyone but you speak of it. Nice retrospective.

Love your vids mates ❤️

Still waiting on a 2142 sequel. It was certainly one of the most innovative FPS games on the market at its time.

2142 is criminally underrated!

@jackfrags This how the map "Dalian Plant" from bf2 would look like if it was to be redesigned with the new engine.

Nice tribute to wake island. Only thing I miss about the bf5 version is the naval combat with subs and destroyers

I miss 2142, it was pretty great. Also, I think I forgot how aggressive the blue filter was in BF3, but it really shows in this comparison between all the variants of the map.

Let's not forget the Zero in BF2 between the bunker, and the small island

BFV pacific update in itself is what kinda redeemed it. The maps, weapons and tanks just make these maps so much fun

A realy good map. But that should be better with the 5.1 TTK !

Damn I still love the Back to Karkand theme music

I remember playing wake island as a kid in bf2 ive played battlefield ever since

BF2 was my first experience into online gaming. Definetely a classic that I remember fondly. Even though Wake Island was a pilots map, and I sucked at flying... I had fun none the less.

please never stop making vids

Who remembers the forgotten hope mod, it was absolutely great!!

Thank you for recognizing those Older battlefield games I watch your videos and quite often leave messages Asking you please to take a look at the older games in my eyes and experience battlefield 2 was 1 of the best and I think is probably still the best only because of its gameplay not because of graphics and other things but I appreciate you recognizing and sharing that with other viewers they should all get a chance to play those older games just like 2142 thank you and have a good New Year

7:01 JackFrags with the HARD R.

You forgot the references to the 1942 version in Battlefield 2. You can find downed Japanese Zero Planes around the map as a throwback to the original.

I’ve been thinking of doing a musical montage of the wake iland maps set to ”still alive”

BF 1942 was my personel highpoint in FPS games👍❤️ I still remember sitting up all night waiting for updates like Battle for Caen... Or playing on the Wake server like 15 times in a row.., just to warm up😂 Then the mod Dessert Combat presented the modern kind of warfare, and evolved into BF 2..., and the fun ended a bit for me. But what really killed the genre for me, was all the cheaters and all the new gaming standarts.., like the more you play, the better equipment you get... The beauty of BF 1942 was the simple gameplay and the lack of options(!) It all came down to skills and tactics❤️

Bfv is my first wake island map. Its feels the most battlefield like map in bfv with the added jeeps and boats and the size of the map.
