Secret Weapons of WW2 Demo Friday

The Battlefield 1942 Website (thanks Frans) has word that Friday is when to expect a demo for the Secret Weapons of World War II add-on for Battlefield 1942. The update includes a couple of new screenshots, with the promise of more to come tomorrow. Here's the scoop on the demo:
The demo also unleashes the power of ten of the 16 new weapons in Secret Weapons of WWII. Fly and fight at the same time with the experimental German rocket pack, or buzz the skies in one of the new compact dynamo fighter planes—the Axis Natter rocket plane or the Allied F-85 Goblin. Both the Axis and Allies also have new motorcycles with machine gun-mounted sidecars, as well as amphibious assault vehicles: the German Schwimmwagen and the American LVT-2 Water Buffalo. The new Axis Flakpanzer, a T-38 tank with an anti-aircraft gun mounted on top, is a nasty beast—but it looks tame compared to the Allies’ Sherman tank with a T-34 Calliope rocket launcher.

With all this plus new hand-held weapons such as silenced SMGs, new assault rifles, and deadly throwing knives, become a deadly force on the most intense virtual battlefields ever created. Prepare yourself for all-out war in the Battlefield 1942: Secret Weapons of WWII demo, available August 8, 2003 here at the official BF1942 website.

You need to do a little research before you conclude that the weapons are "fake." All of the weapons in Secret Weapons were actually being used and tested during WW2, even though most didn't see a lot of actual combat during the war. The Germans had a lot of things up their sleeves that didn't win them the war but maybe could have had they had more time and man resources during the later half of the conflict.

Their (Hitler's) Assault Rifle, for instance, would have been a lot more devistating had they not run out of men towards the end that could have used the weapon in greater masses. This rifle was way ahead of anything the allies were using in this category. Luckily the Allies, once again, had the far superior man power at the conclusion of the war.
