Ships Ahoy: BF1942 Secret Weapons of WWII [Sep 03, 2003, 09:50 am ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
EA Ships Highly
Anticipated PC Expansion Pack Battlefield 1942 Secret Weapons of WWII
(thanks HomeLAN Fed)
has word that the second add-on for DICE's World War II shooter is winging its
way into stores, where it may be available as early as today. Here's a bit:
"The expansion pack features powerful new vehicles and weapons rooted in
World War II history and many never saw actual combat -- until now. Players can
put these weapons to use in eight massive World War II combat campaigns
including Peenemuende, the V2 rocket research facility, and The Eagle's Nest,
Hitler's hideaway. All new battlefields offer unique settings ranging from
nightfall during the summer in Prague to a winter battle in Norway."
Right after you release the SDK! Kiss my arse EA! No SDK no buying your damn expansion packs. You plan of witholding the SDK to capitalize off of expansion packs didn't work... the modders still made top notch free stuff and the only thing you did was totally blow a great opportunity. Now the modders will flock to HL2 and its fully documented and modder friendly environment while you continue to squeeze every penny you can from BF1942 players.
Nope, not me. You can take the pack and shove it! I love BF1942, the mods and the community, but EA can bite me.

Anyone seen this in stores in Canada? The place I pre-ordered from says out of stock. 
Usually when you preorder something that guarantees you a copy, wtf?

If this shit isnt gonna fix the AI up atleast a lil, then fuck them, there are mods that do fi AI and have more packed into a free download, pffft
NO SDK = NO SALE
I'll buy any game that has rocket packs in it. I wish Everquest and Dark Age of Camelot had jet packs. Every game can benefit by adding a jet pack.
Can anyone name a game that would suck with a rocket pack? I think not.

Absolutley, fu*K EA right up there stupid asses. Greedy bastards don't realize that mods could make this game live for years ala Half Life. Maybe Marweas could land a PR job here. Man, the Desert Combat mod must really be a thorn in their sides.

BF1942 Totally Rocks. If you have the rig and a fast connect, I couldn't see playing anything else. As soon as I discovered BF1942, Medal of Honor went on the shelf.

3 months ago I was very interested. After the demo was released it felt like just more of the same.
I have read the latest update has caused CD and Mod issues. Oh well. I don't have a compelling reason to buy it.
With HL2 and Call of Duty coming out soon, there is no reason to.
If you haven't seen some of the mods for Call of Duty Demo check here. Highly Modable even in demo form.

I will probably pick it up after the price drops to about 19 bucks... 30 bucks for an expansion pack seems like a bit of a rip off, IMO.

I bought the Road to Rome expansion, and just really more or less paid for more of the same-- of course at the time Battlefield just totally amazed when I first played it. But my thoughts on RTR were..."Oh, neat." =} but now that mods like Desert Combat have matured more I think I will skip this expansion. Heck, these days I play Desert Combat moreso than the original retail game.
Love thy wookie.
Right, thats a good point.
I imagine by mid or late November the price will be nice. That's when the march for the Holiday sales begins.

I don't think the original or RTR ever dropped down in price since release.. by mid or late November, the deluxe pack will have been out and that will be cheaper than just buying the expansion.

Check the BestBuy price in the weekend ad, they always have a sale on games during their first or 2nd week out.
I can't remember what I paid for RTR, but I bet it was 19.99 right when it came out.
