The
Battlefield 1942 Website (thanks
Frans) has word on the upcoming version 1.6
patch. Here's the update. which is accompanied by screenshots of the two new
maps:
Attention Soldiers! We're going to talk about a couple of things in
todays update. First the upcoming 1.6 patch and then the Battlefield 1942 Map
Making Contest. So without further ado...
1.6 Update Battlefield Command has busted butts to get the 1.6 patch done as
quickly as possible. Our sincere hope was to release it before the December
holidays. Unfortunately, our commitment to releasing clean patches means that we
cannot release the patch in its current state. We still need some time to clear
up a few glitches. So, you at least have something to look forward to in January
when you've finished playing with all the toys and goodies you've received over
the holidays!
Here's a short-list of some of the features you can look forward to:
- Punkbuster support
- New in-game GUI for map and kick-voting
- New game server allows hosting of different mods, maps and modes in the
same server rotation
- Chat lag fixed
- Russian Ilyyushin IL-2 added to Kursk and Kharkov
- New Battlefield 1942 map
- New Battlefield 1942: Secret Weapons of WWII map
