Q: What do you think the BFV engine brings to the classic BF1942 maps you’re including?Ī: Well, the rendering engine allowed us to create some beautiful new vehicle, weapon, and soldier textures, making the battlefield really come alive. Q: How soon after release of BFV did work begin?Ī: Work began on the WWII Mod in early April of 04, so less than a month after BFV launched. The Pacific maps really show off the improvements in visual quality and level design potential that the new rendering engine and overgrowth systems provide. After realizing the kind of impact the overgrowth system in BFV had on the gameplay, everyone in the studio began imagining how cool some of the original BF1942 levels would look and play. Q: Why did you decide to create this Mod?Ī: EA approached us with the idea, and DICE agreed that bringing some Battlefield 1942 (BF1942)content up to par with Battlefield Vietnam (BFV) would be a great way to show the modding community just how powerful the BFV engine is. The WW2 mod is not compatible with Custom Combat. All 3 levels are compatible with single-player and Co-Op modes. The levels contain all the vehicles and weapons included in their BF1942 counterparts. They are very effective against scout cars, but are considerably less effective against armoured vehicles. These are devestating close range anti-infantry weapons, best used to clear structures or block paths with a wall of flame. Mortars add a new dimension to the maps, but the biggest addition are the new flame throwers. The original BF1942 content married to the gameplay tweaks introduced in BFV combine to create a whole new Battlefield experience. All of the characters, weapons, and vehicles have also been redone to make use of the advanced BFV rendering engine. This theater comes to life like never before using the overgrowth and undergrowth that made BFV such a hit. The most popular maps of the Pacific Theater have been transferred to the new engine. The WW2 mod is a partial conversion of the original Battlefield 1942 to the updated engine of Battlefield Vietnam. The WW2 Mod REQUIRES Battlefield Vietnam v1.1 or higher to run. Battlefield Vietnam World War II Mod v1.0
