BF 1942 Patch Plans [Jan 22, 2003, 12:03 pm ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
The
Battlefield 1942 Website (thanks David Sproat) has details on plans for an
upcoming version 1.3 patch for Battlefield 1942. Here's the skinny:
Everyone on the Battlefield team at DICE and EA has been working late nights on another surprise for the community. We’d like to take this time to announce the Battlefield 1942 1.3 patch – it’s coming soon, maybe even sooner than you think! Look for more details about the patch soon, for now here’s a sneak peek:In addition, the 1.3 patch will allow Road to Rome users to play on original BF1942 servers. You will still need to own RtR in order to play on the new maps included in the expansion pack.
- Implemented TK solution: On the server-side you can implement various TK-solutions such as a Spawn Delay penalty (puts them into spawn limbo) or the simple Kick/Ban. On the client-side you'll be able to Forgive or Punish TK depending on how the server is set up.
- Client performance optimization
- Map-loading optimized
- Improved interface for in-game voting
As always, stay tuned to the official site for patch information and other updates.
All right soldiers, this concludes your briefing for this week. Now get out there and onto the battlefields on the double!

Hindsight, it's an amazing thing! Always 20/20!
It will debut with the expansion.
They already stated that the expansion is running v1.3, so you need to patch your game at that time even if you don't buy the expansion. I would guess a patch comes along a couple of days before the expansion hits the shelves.
The expansion is looking very nice by the way, can't wait to try out thoose new levels and vehicles...

I'm sorry, whatever the merits of the game, this still has to be one of the lamest PR statement ever... "soon, maybe even sooner than you think!" So, how soon is *soon*. I mean, Christ, just turn out the damn patch! Why bother with this? Just to make people wait and get p*ssed off while doing so? You would think they might have learned from the UT2k3 Mark Rein "two week" thing to not announce stuff before it's ready... *sigh* maybe the patch will debut with the expansion pack. That would make sense, so I probably shouldn't count on it...

I love Battlefield 1942. Ive had it since the very first day it came out. IT IS A GREAT GAME!!! As soon as Road to Rome comes out, you will see me at the store getting that MO FO. The new patch is gonna rock. Im so F$%king sick of the really slow map loading and some of the lag. its awkward. awkward lag.
Great game though.
Im running on a AMD Athlon XP 1400+ Radeon 9000 128mb ddr 512 mb sd ram 60 GB hard drive cable internet access. Its a pretty good PC. its still going out of date.

In a perfect world, we'd all learn from our predecessors.
I still have yet to find a game whose in-game browser can compare to Tribes 2.

I doubt that they could have foreseen the exact level and degree to which some people will go to try to ruin a good time, and thus the exact steps they would need to take to prevent it.
Right, how on Earth should they have known?! I mean, if there had been countless examples of online games ruined by TK-ing and other lamish behaviour, they could have known, but obviously there was no hint to that amount whatsoever!
bleh nevermind

I personally am glad that they released the game when they did instead of developing it a few more months. They needed the public to play it, and thus define the aspects that needed to be patched. I doubt that they could have foreseen the exact level and degree to which some people will go to try to ruin a good time, and thus the exact steps they would need to take to prevent it.
Eliminating TK'ers will be awesome. Even on FF-Off servers you still have guys ramming and blowing up planes and vehicles. It'll be very nice to have these people permanently removed by their peers.

Only another 8 weeks to wait for this one, if the 1.2 patch is anything to go by.
And where is the level editor?

Planes are fun to fly. You can cause of alot of terror with them. However, the real points/kill machines are the tanks.
with this game, is that the people in the planes have so much fun that they forget that the goal of the game is to capture the checkpoints.
what's BF1942?

It was probably alot to ask to expect a new map for original BF owners as part of this update. Oh, well, guess I'll just have to pick up the expansion to get my thrills.

Wow, it only took them almost half a year to come up with TK solutions that should have been in since day one.
