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.
There are not a lot of frenchmen reading this board. So I am and if the white flag comment made me laugh, theses kinds of belief are not historically accurate. The french army during WW2 was not a ridiculous force, it had many brave soldiers who fought till death to defend their country. During the german invasion, the army was not prepared to fight such a war machine and leaded by a bunch of WW1 old stupids commanders. But many forces stayed in the colony, fought the allied side, and gained many respects. I agree nowadays, France is a little country with east countries internal policies, and switzerland-like external policies. But I believe US should not forget that they won WW2 not only by their own forces, but by a common effort from countries such as England, Canada, Australia, USSR (circumstance ally) and others I don't have in mind. Free French Army and the Resistance played also an important role for the final victory (or the saving of american lives, if you prefer). Please don't forget that.
