Battlefield Vietnam WW2 Mod Released

Aug 20, 2004 12:12pm CST tags: Electronic Arts, Battlefield Vietnam, Battlefield
As promised Electronic Arts has released the World War 2 mod for Battlefield Vietnam. The 300mb download includes three Pacific Theatre maps from Battlefield 1942, using the Battlefield Vietnam engine for improved graphics and also adding a flame thrower.
The WW2 mod is a partial conversion of the original Battlefield 1942 to the updated engine of Battlefield Vietnam. The most popular maps of the Pacific Theater have been transferred to the new engine. This theater comes to life like never before using the overgrowth and undergrowth that made BFV such a hit. All of the characters, weapons, and vehicles have also been redone to make use of the advanced BFV rendering engine. The original BF1942 content married to the gameplay tweaks introduced in BFV combine to create a whole new Battlefield experience.
