!!

There is some very exciting news posted today over at the Official Battlefield Vietnam website. They have just announced that the much anticipated WWII mod for BFV will be released this Friday! Here's the full press release:

Have you ever wondered what Wake Island or Iwo Jima would look and play like with real tropical foliage? Do you love Battlefield Vietnam but you want to be able to relive the classics without having to dig up your 1942 disks?

Now you can!

Available this coming Friday (8/20/04) from Digital Illusions and EA, the World War II mod for Battlefield Vietnam brings three Pacific Theatre maps from Battlefield 1942 into the Battlefield Vietnam engine. But these aren?t straight ports of the original maps. Instead, they make use of all of the upgraded features of the Battlefield Vietnam game engine.

Grab your sniper rifle and crawl through the thick grass and dense tropical foliage of Iwo Jima. Scoot around Wake Island blaring the Battlefield 1942 theme from your Willy?s onboard radio. Use the new flamethrower to clear defenders from the airfield during your Invasion of the Philippines. All this and more.

World War 2 Mod Features:

Three Pacific Theatre maps: Iwo Jima, Wake Island and Invasion of the Philippines.

Improved player customization using the Battlefield Vietnam-style kit, body and head selection interface.

Flamethrower kits can be picked up by any soldier and used to wreak havoc on bunkers and exposed infantry.

All Battlefield weapons and vehicles from the Pacific Theatre have been rebuilt to take advantage of the Battlefield Vietnam engine.

New animations for all kit weapons, to bring them up to the standards set with the Vietnam-era weapons in BFV.

Battlefield Vietnam gameplay tweaks: 3D Map, capture timer, and use of kit weapons from open positions. World War II Mod

Stay tuned to this web space over the next couple of days as we will have other updates pertaining to the release of this mod.

Tomorrow, that's Wednesday, we'll post some comparison screenshots to show off the mod.

We will be sure and get those comparison screenshots up tomorrow as soon as they are available. I for one can't wait to try out this mod. Stay tuned for the release of the Official WWII mod this coming Friday![/i]

I hope theres no choppers like in bf:v ,the game is getting shite in navan nowadays with chopper Hog's.like i always love levels when u get killed 22 times and 18 of them are from a chopper !!.i thought this was a combat 2 combat game not a run around trying 2 shoot down flying tin can's while your ass keeps being blown away by rockets.Thats my thought ,if im wrong well...im wrong

No Jack there are no choppers what so ever. There are however Planes.

These are the old type ones with propellars. There are also Ships, big ships with big guns, and even subs.

BF1942 is actually a very, very good game, and it can be a lot of fun. IMHO tactics play an even bigger part in it coz the game play is slower and because there are home, uncapturable, bases you always get to respawn. This means that games rarely end quickly.

Go out and buy BF1942, you'll enjoy it.

mostly cause in WW2 there were no choppers

first war were choppers took a bif part in a war was the korean war.

yeah i watch the discovery channel.

i also dislike them chopper whores.
like in DC ya had them plane whores.

cause i was to lazy to wait for something to spawn when it was stil flying around i went into the field with my weapon.
wich is why im at my best running around with no vehicle and i suck with choppers

ive seen games were from the 16 players 10 were waiting for choppers and planes :s

i have to admit after seeing the pics that the WW2 mod looks sweeter then Bf1942 :salute:

the extra flora looks great.
fills up alot fo them stupid empty spaces and also makes soldiers on foot less weak.
and the textures look a good bit nicer.
