Ships Ahoy - BF 1942: The Road to Rome

EA Ship Battlefield 1942 The Road to Rome for the PC is the press release announcing the Sicilian campaign expansion for the World War II combat game is now available. On a related note, Mega-Battlefield1942 Mega-Bf1942 + Editing (thanks Tiscali Games) has 2D overview maps of each of the areas included in the add-on. Here's a bit on The Road to Rome from the press release: "Focusing on the Italian and Sicilian campaigns of WWII, players can choose to fight on six new maps including Operation Husky (Sicily) and the battles for Anzio and Monte Cassino. Each map contains highly detailed environments featuring elements such as Italian houses, Mediterranean trees and the Monte Cassino Monastery. Controllable vehicles are the heart of the original Battlefield 1942 experience and The Road to Rome delivers by offering eight new vehicles, including the German BF-110 and British Mosquito twin-engine fighter-bombers, in addition to the more than 30 vehicles in the original title. There are also new Italian, British and German vehicles and anti-tank guns."

What's this? Someone else that doesn't care for BF1942? I thought it was just me and everyone I know personally. As far as I'm concerned EA wrote the book on "How to make a marketable game without having to concern yourself with quality." Come on, is decent client-side prediction too much to ask for? "

Have you actually tried the game?

The network is super since the december v1.2-patch was realesed. And there sure is client-side prediction. With yesterdays 1.3-patch things got even moore smooth, but that is just icing on the cake as far as the netcode does. Other updates had a much more obvious impact...

Do yourself a favour and try this baby out, have not had as much fun since Quake came out back in '96...

And by the way - read the devs already got milestones written in stone for patches up to 1.7, so there will support for BF1942 for a looong time to come...
