[Loke]

Some of you might heard of the Battlefield: Vietnam - World War 2 MOD, the great news is that it's coming out this Friday!

Available this coming Friday (8/20/04) from Digital Illusions and EA, the World War II mod for Battlefield Vietnam brings three Pacific Theatre maps from Battlefield 1942 into the Battlefield Vietnam engine.

Can't wait to test this. :E

and adds a whole bunch of features:

* Three Pacific Theatre maps: Iwo Jima, Wake Island and Invasion of the Philippines.

* Improved player customization using the Battlefield Vietnam-style kit, body and head selection interface.

* Flamethrower kits can be picked up by any soldier and used to wreak havoc on bunkers and exposed infantry.

* All Battlefield weapons and vehicles from the Pacific Theatre have been rebuilt to take advantage of the Battlefield Vietnam engine.

* New animations for all kit weapons, to bring them up to the standards set with the Vietnam-era weapons in BFV.

* Battlefield Vietnam gameplay tweaks: 3D Map, capture timer, and use of kit weapons from open positions. World War II Mod

Well, why buy Battlefield 1942 when you could get a better version for free (if you have BF:V, that is)?

It's out. Get it here or here.

I dont know, I like bf1942 and BFv when they first came out but they kinda old fast. Played this mod and it was ok for about the first 20 minutes then it just sort of boring. Oh well, I wasnt expecting it to be awesome anyways, its only a mod

I agree....just play Battlefield 1942.

I agree....just play Battlefield 1942.

Yeah, good idea. Except for the fact that I don't have Battlefield 1942, just Vietnam. So I'll just get this mod for free.

Obviously I was talking about people that already had BF1942 f00!

Still the Vietnam engine is much better, feels more confortable for infantry combat.

Well, the thing about it is, in BFV they have the foliage and stuff. It matches the pacific levels MUCH better in the BFV engine.

It's not just "flat grass and trees." It's got good jungle to hide in, etc, and the new rendering image. It's just a nice bonus for BFV owners. There's no Africa / Europe WW2 maps because obviously it wouldn't fit for the game. lol.

Oh boy, another WW2 mod! I'm so excited!
