BF1942 Add-on? [Nov 13, 2002, 12:23 pm ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
The
EBGames.com Website (thanks GameSpyDaily)
has details on an unannounced multiplayer add-on for Battlefield 1942 titled
"The Road to Rome" that's apparently in
the works. Here's a bit from the EB listing, which also includes a batch of 20
screenshots (though the images seem to be broken at the moment):
Though multiplayer experience will be the focus of The Road To Rome, there will be a mode of unique single player action. These levels feature improved artificial intelligence with no scripting, meaning players will get a completely different experience each time.
- Six new maps from the Sicilian and Italian campaigns including Operation Husky (Sicily), and the battles for Anzio and Monte Cassino.
- Eight new vehicles including the German BF-110 and British Mosquito fighter bombers.
- Two new fighting forces including the French legionnaires and Italian forces.
- Three new hand-held weapons including a rifle grenade launcher, the British Sten SMG and bayonets.
- Proprietary Refractor 2 engine raises bar for graphics and 3D rendering.
- Huge multiplayer component supporting up to 64 players that requires teamwork and cooperation from each member in order to achieve victory for the Axis or Allies.
- Unique single player mode features no scripting, meaning the player gets different experience each time they play.
"The game rocks pure and simple. Those having troubles (normally)simply haven't patched the game with the first patch, are using illegal versions which won't allow you to connect to a server (the nocd.exe causes this issue btw) OR they have systems that run Half Life very well but are very low on resources."
These are some interesting assumptions. And they are just that, assumptions. The games runs very well on my pc. I would just appreciate a patch that brings the netcode into this decade. When I'm playing on a server with a 50 ping and can't seem to hit someone RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME, that's a problem. I'm not saying the game is junk, I'm saying it has issues and they need to be addressed. I don't think that's too much to ask.
