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.
I forgot the parachute. Maybe you can't ditch the pack, or you lose your parachute. Still, ditching it won't be a good idea since you'll most likely be shot coming down slowly with your chute.
They should edit the game so that the parachute has it's own health. As it loses health from bullets and such, holes should begin to appear and you start decending faster and finally to complete free fall. That would be pretty cool.
Edit:
It's going to be hilarious to watch a plane collide with a rocketpack player in mid-air, you know it's going to happen. I've seen two planes hit where one plane exploded from fire and starts dipping down to crash. At the same time there was a friendly aircraft low to the ground and was pulling up to avoid land just as this dead plane landed on top of it. It's hard to describe how it exactly happened, but if you saw it, you'd have to think to yourself on the chances of what just happened were nearly impossible.
