BF1942: Secret Weapons Official

The rumors (story) about plans for a second BF1942 add-on have been basically confirmed (story), but EA and Digital Illusions Announce Development of Battlefield 1942 Secret Weapons of WWII for the PC (thanks ToTheGame) is the official press release announcing the project. Word is: "Battlefield 1942: Secret Weapons of WWII, scheduled for release in fall 2003, will significantly enhance the multiplayer combat experience by bringing the most unique and deadly weapons from the German and Allied laboratories to life on the battlefields of World War II." The announcement goes on to describe new weapons and enhanced gameplay as well as additional vehicles, described here:
In Secret Weapons of WWII, players will engage in war with a choice of up to 46 vehicles to control. In addition to the 30 vehicles introduced in the original game such as fighter planes, tanks, and aircraft carriers, players can operate 16 new vehicles including the Horton HO 229 "Flying Wing" that is equipped with 30 mm machine guns and missiles. Other vehicles consist of a U.S. Sherman tank with a T-34 Calliope rocket launcher, U.S. T95/T28 Super Heavy Tank, the Sturmtiger (naval gun mounted on Tiger tank), U.S. Goblin jetfighter, C-47 cargo plane that will serve as a mobile spawn point, the American Armstrong Whitworth AW-52 advanced fighter, the German Wasserfall guided anti-air missile and the German Natter rocket plane. Also, for the first time, Secret Weapons of WWII will give players the chance to fly and fight at the same time with a top secret German prototype Rocket Pack.

Have to admit... sounds as good as adding rollerblades to the game to me...in other words it'll really make it weird. At the moment when you're running you don't really look up for planes. Now you have to monitor the sky above you... don't like this idea at all...

oh yeah... isn't the asian add-on for this actually vietcong? It's getting some great reviews and seems to stand on it's own two feet quite well.
