Haha, BF1942 Mod

[imported_Gen_Brett]

I would love to see a mod that recreates Battlefield 1942 vanilla and it's expansions. I don't mean a WW2 mod. Just one thats like BF1942. I doubt I'd go throught with it, unless alot are interested.

I'm sure Forgotten Hope 2 will give you a very similar experience. I wonder if they plan on making any maps to resemble any of the old BF1942 ones... We'll see I guess.

Yeah lets wait for FH or FL or something like that.
EA decided to call it illegal if the modders use old maps and/or models/skins/sounds/codes.

While I haven't had any experience with the tools I read that the BF2 editor will not be backwards compatible with BCV/BC42 in some interview.

People would need to do something like the El Alamein Grasslands map for BFV.
The maker opened up both height maps on two PCs and made a close copy. Since it wasn't exact it was perfectly legal.

[DimmuBorgir]

they should make another Desert Combat mod

[DimmuBorgir]

oh yeah, and the El Alamein idea sounds great. El Alamein was one of my favorite maps

Desert Conflict is the remake of Desert Combat to BF2. Look around for it.

And the edit button exists for a purpose. :|:

Some of the old DC testers and mappers are back to try to create a Desert Combat-like experience for BF2 players. Some of the ideas that our staff has been throwing around are making me quite excited. I can't wait to share this stuff with you guys. It'll be a lot of fun! :)

By the way... how can you have over 40 posts in the TotalBF2 forums and not have noticed the Desert Conflict button down at the bottom of your screen? (in "Hosted mods")

As we understand it, we are not allowed to move any DICE created content from BF42/BFV to BF2. This includes maps.

How about just making a version of BG2 with BF1942 fun arcade physics?

[imported_thebamsco]

Funny this, EA made a BF42 mod for BF Vietnam. Was not too bad. Didnt have all the maps...only thing I was guyyed about it was, it wasnt quite as easy to spot infantry on the ground in the aircraft in Wake due to the foilage, instead of the country club/ golf course look of bf1942

I would love to see a BF1942 Merciless Creations mod for BF2. That would be freakin sick! What I loved most about BF1942 is the airplanes and tank battles. I know that some of the Merciless guys helped with FH, but I am not crazy about how the planes fly in FH. I also really enjoyed the M1Garand from vanilla BF. After that was released in a patch, I played Pacific maps almost exclusively!
Having vanilla BF on the BF2 engine would be really sweet! And adding the Merciless skins, blood, and sound effects would just make it like a neverending gobstopper. Mmmmm. sugar. Gotta go.

Hopefully BG2 will release sometime in the near future.

Where did you hear this? I don't believe this is true. It's not like we're taking something from Valve and putting it in a DICE game or vice versa. They have absolutely NO reason to say anything like this at all...
