There is a minimal new community update at the official Battlefield 1942 website. The 1.2 patch is still coming "soon", while the Linux server has been slightly delayed to incorporate the changes from 1.2. In addition to that there's a list of links to user-created mods. Thanks timm.

  • I just got back from a four hour session, had a lot of fun as usual. With a good team the matches become just insane, you barely have time to think before the enemy has capped your flag and you lie there naked and used. Ofcourse when I'm playing it's always the other way around, because I'm simply unstoppable.

    I'm not all too hot for the 1.2 patch like the below mofos are, I don't feel there's a lot missing as it is and I doubt this patch will correct even half as much as the "complainers" want it to. I look forward to less grenade vs tank damage and stronger machineguns on the vehicles, aswell as the increased bombing capabilities of the B17. Don't have a problem with the netcode (neither does anyone who plays on my server to my knowledge, they all ping <40) but then Sweden is laced with broadband.

    In unrelated news, I just installed Natural Selection for HL and will be trying it out pretty soon. Hopefully it's as good as Gloom was for Quake2.

  • I've put my BF1942 playing on hold because of the netcode, and started playing that Natural Selection mod for Half Life.

    What really amazes me is that the netcode problem was largely "fixed" within a week of the release of the mod, but EA and Dice have been tweaking away on a patch that won't even address the network code for months now.

    Once Dice and EA fix the netcode, guaranteed I'll start playing again, but until then, it's back to Natural Selection (which is really good, if you haven't given it a shot yet, do so, it's well worth it).
