BF1942 Update News

Related Topics – Battlefield 1942

The official Battlefield 1942 website has been updated, mentioning what's planned for this popular action game now that it has been out for a few weeks. A Linux server, a new patch ("The 1.2 patch will address many of the issues which have been brought up on the forums and boards concerning bandwidth optimization, client prediction tweaking and general stability"), and mod tools are on their way. Thanks wolfwood1.

Has anybody noticed that the number of available servers has gone down drastically since the demo came out? I used to regularly see 500+ servers up; that number is down to 200 or so now......

Well, I just returned Bf1942 and got UT2K3 instead (for $15 extra, but whatever). I'm pretty dissappointed in how the game runs and on how it was rushed. I know boycotting the game because of the rush probably won't change anything, but at least now I can play something that takes less than 15 minutes to start up and that comes with several tools and editors right out of the box.

Good job, Epic. Shame on you EA/Dice.

maybe the game will be worth playing now, all the servers i play on crash with every map transition ... single-round-per-map servers are nightmares, ive rocked up on a server with 10 pts to go, only to have it crash after playing for 20 secs ... ive put this game away after only spending a couple of nights struggling to find the servers that actually have ppl sitting there to reboot them when they crash ... hopefully this patch will set things right.

The map editor is going to be a nice addition, think about some map contest and wish EA is kind enough to take those community maps and put into 1.3 patch.... oh sweet!

I wonder if they'll include some setting for the AI too, it's great being sniped by a bazooka from 300 feet.

I don't even see a smoke trail, or even hear it half the time.

Id be playing if it were not for my testees tomorrow

Please for the love of god fix the black txt error and get rid of CD checking (see PA)

It only fucks with the system god damn it. For whatever reason, I have to try 2-3 times running the exe before it stops asking for a CD

Yes, I tried the no cd patch and I am loving it - but shit, the only game Ive bought in a long time and I have to do this shit?!
