    Second, many of you have been asking about renting servers. We’re please to announce that today we are launching our official Battlefield 1942 server rental program.

    BF 1942 Server Rental Information
    Ever wanted to command your own server? Does your Squad need a place to practice or fight other Squads? Beginning with the release of 1.45, we will be launching the Battlefield Server Lease Program to meet the needs and wants of the Community. This program provides high-bandwidth, high spec machines (equivalent to those we use for the Official EA Battlefield Servers) to members of the Battlefield Community to lease and serve Battlefield 1942, Road to Rome, Secret Weapons or Desert Combat. For the prices listed below, you will be getting not only a personal battlefield on which to play but also the ability to configure to your preferences. Command is yours: Change the map rotation, add or remove an admin password, add or remove server operators, turn team kill on or off, etc. -- all through an outstanding HTML interface -- then click a button and within 60-seconds your server will be rebooted and ready to go with the new settings. The power is yours... use it well, soldier.

    Server lease rates are $8 dollars per slot per month for a public server (can be password-ed/unpassword-ed at any time for those unexpected clan matches) or $4 dollars per slot per month for a private server (password-ed all the time, ideal for clan practices) -- plus initial setup fees.

    Interested? Then follow the links!

    Secret Weapons Set to Ship
    Finally, we’d just like to remind you that Secret Weapons will be shipping next Wednesday, September 3rd. You’ll start to see it at various retail outlets that evening, then everywhere else by the following Friday. So happy hunting with the Secret Weapons of WWII.

    If you pre-order Secret Weapons of WWII now, you'll save a few bucks on shipping because EA will ship it to you at no cost.

    We'll wrap-up this community update with the 1.4 patch details.

    The 1.45 patch comes with the following features:

    ** IMPORTANT INFO INVOLVING AIR CONTROLS IN PATCH 1.45 **

    Patch 1.45 has introduced 3 new AIR controls, located under CONTROLS in the OPTIONS menu, on the 2nd page of the AIR tab. If you have applied the 1.45 patch to an existing, previously played install of Battlefield 1942, you will need to define keys for these controls in order for them to work while playing.

    For reference, if you apply the 1.45 patch to an installation of Battlefield 1942 that has not been previously played, the keys are setup by default as follows :

    AIR Control
    Default Key
    GO TO POSITION 4 -- Key 4
    GO TO POSITION 5 -- Key 5
    GO TO POSITION 6 -- Key 6
