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.
Hmm..., well the game needs a patch or three before they shove more code out the door. Otherwise you'll just be waiting on a patch for your expansion for the same old issues. I'm sure EA will be happy to take your money of course, patch or no patch.
Sp in BF1942 could be fun, if they figure out the "I" is for intelligence.
And if you people haven't hit on this, when you say "legionnaire" you are not talking about the regular French army. It's the La Legion Etrangere -- the French Foreign Legion. Anybody who makes fun of them is an idiot. Probably a dead one too. The roll of the resistance in occupied France, while important is generally overated, but that doesn't detract from the courage it took to do it. Grow up people.
