Official BF:V World War 2 mod...omg

CombatCow

*From Bluesnews*

For some time, DICE Canada has been secretly working on something very cool as a gift for owners of Battlefield Vietnam. We’re pleased to finally announce the fruition of this work: the OFFICIAL WWII Mod for Battlefield Vietnam.

Have you ever wondered what Wake Island or Iwo Jima would look and play like with real tropical foliage? Do you love Battlefield Vietnam but you want to be able to relive the classics without having to dig up your 1942 disks?

The WWII Mod includes the classic Wake Island, Invasion of the Philippines and Iwo Jima maps rebuilt to take advantage of all of the new features of the Vietnam rendering engine (normal mapping, undergrowth, overgrowth, etc.), as well as the gameplay tweaks that came with BFV. (capture timer, 3D Map, use of kit weapons from passenger seats, vehicle radios, etc.)

But that’s not all, DICE Canada has also added a brand new Flamethrower weapon for both the Axis and Allied teams and re-animated all of the weapons from Battlefield 1942’s Pacific Theatre. The WWII Mod has been in heavy testing here at EA for some time, so expect to see it some time in the near future.

Thats why it was removed early on in the development of Battlefield 1942. The DICE Canada team must have made some tweaks or just changed it to have it working ingame now. Hopefully it shall not be too big a download. Alhough I get my broadband in 9 days [touch wood] so i wont worry to much.

Looks like its going to rock.

Winters: If its out b4 you get your BB give me a shout and ill post you a CD (free work CD and post )

I was on a 2mb Eircom line for a while, terrible for games ping was huge even worse if anybody else was using it for anything else.

Esat is all right as far as I know.

Still the 36mbit line in work comes in handy

You what the pacific levels were the best my fav was wake island give me a zero fighter and i rule the sky give me a naval ship and i rule the ocean and when im on the ground its rocket man all the way CLASSIC MAP.

KdjaCL

Pacific maps are best for pilots not a lot to dof ro ground forces if there are good pilots in the sky, Phillipines map is very good bit more to do for ground forces.

I usd to like invasion of the philipenes a lot
This is greatt new, been dying for some new maps for bfv

Irish_Kamikaze

Phillipeans is a crap map i think. Because if the US has their best pilots flying then your boat will be sunk way to fast. plus i love the zero fighters and their is none:(

Would be great if i could play on Navan??:rolleyes:

lol
Look at him pine for his navan now...
Patience kaze, your fate rests in the lap of the gods.

Make sure your PB is updated manually. The automatic update never seems to work. Also as PB is constantly checkign with the master servers it can cause some lag on slower connections causing it to time out from the master servers and therefor making the bf server kick you.

Very annoying. I remember the days when pb had to be started as a seperate program before you joined a server. That ran perfectly well on 56k aswell... god them were the days...

A few will play, just to knife your ass.
Hopefully someone will have turned your mic off for the match, as you get annoying. From what I've seen so far, there have been a increasing number of NRG players on Navan. Mostly pretty darn good, and they don't flame everyone (like you seem to like doing)...

Why will it make any differance?

And no, i play but my main role is building the TiG website which takes up most of my time. It takes a long time to code a full website, make graphics, hack the phpbb code, reskin the forums, change default graphics .... You know, normal website stuff.
