20-12-2003 3:11pm#1Well, news about the Battlefield 1942 v1.6 patch before i make a nice big post about the DC .6 release. The BF v1.6 patch should be out soon, i'd say possibly before the new year. There will be two new maps on this update [onr for normal BF and another for Secret Weapons] aswell as the 'ole Punkbuster support and bug fix [they believe they have the chat lag done].Attention Soldiers!
We're going to talk about a couple of things in todays update. First the upcoming 1.6 patch and then the Battlefield 1942 Map Making Contest. So without further ado...
1.6 Update
Battlefield Command has busted butts to get the 1.6 patch done as quickly as possible. Our sincere hope was to release it before the December holidays. Unfortunately, our commitment to releasing clean patches means that we cannot release the patch in its current state. We still need some time to clear up a few glitches. So, you at least have something to look forward to in January when you've finished playing with all the toys and goodies you've received over the holidays!
Here's a short-list of some of the features you can look forward to:
1. Punkbuster support
2. New in-game GUI for map and kick-voting
3. New game server allows hosting of different mods, maps and modes in the same server rotation
4. Chat lag fixed
5. Russian Ilyyushin IL-2 added to Kursk and Kharkov
6. New Battlefield 1942 map
7. New Battlefield 1942: Secret Weapons of WWII map
In the meantime, here are some screenshots of what you can expect...and yes, we will be getting coal in our stockings for teasing you with these so early....enjoy!
