BF1942 for BFV, in other words a free gift from EA

[Biohazzard56]

For some time, DICE Canada has been secretly working on something very cool as a gift for owners of Battlefield Vietnam. We�re pleased to finally announce the fruition of this work: the OFFICIAL WWII Mod for Battlefield Vietnam.

Have you ever wondered what Wake Island or Iwo Jima would look and play like with real tropical foliage? Do you love Battlefield Vietnam but you want to be able to relive the classics without having to dig up your 1942 disks?

The WWII Mod includes the classic Wake Island, Invasion of the Philippines and Iwo Jima maps rebuilt to take advantage of all of the new features of the Vietnam rendering engine (normal mapping, undergrowth, overgrowth, etc.), as well as the gameplay tweaks that came with BFV. (capture timer, 3D Map, use of kit weapons from passenger seats, vehicle radios, etc.)

But that�s not all, DICE Canada has also added a brand new Flamethrower weapon for both the Axis and Allied teams and re-animated all of the weapons from Battlefield 1942�s Pacific Theatre. The WWII Mod has been in heavy testing here at EA for some time, so expect to see it some time in the near future.

That came from the latest community update on the BFV Site. Cant wait

Yeah I know that. So many things unrealistic about BF1942. But that's not the point. Still a good game, although not what I like.

Actually, aren't No. 4's just Enfield's?

well yea there's the Lee Enfield No.4 but there's also a Springfield '04. But I think in BF it's the Enfield.

Since there's already a thread on the topic of Battlefield, can anyone tell me why my CD drive is all the sudden not reading my BFV disc? It's not scratched or anything, and it worked a few days ago.
