BF: V WWII Mod

Hier noch ein paar Worte der Entwickler:

Q: Why did you decide to create this Mod?
A: 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. 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. The Pacific maps really show off the improvements in visual quality and level design potential that the new rendering engine and overgrowth systems provide.

Q: How soon after release of BFV did work begin?
A: Work began on the WWII Mod in early April of '04, so less than a month after BFV launched.

Q: What do you think the BFV engine brings to the classic BF1942 maps you’re including?
A: Well, the rendering engine allowed us to create some beautiful new vehicle, weapon, and soldier textures, making the battlefield really come alive. But the biggest impact here has got to be the overgrowth system. The grass and trees make for a much more immersive experience, but they also have a big impact on the gameplay. There's a lot more cover for infantry, making it really dangerous for armoured vehicles to go off-roading. You never know when a landmine is hiding in the bush! The trees not only give extra cover during infantry fire fights, but they give the ground pounders a little more protection against aircraft fire. In BFV, you have essentially 8 different kits to choose from, compared to only 5 in BF1942. We have created an interesting mix of kits that should really expand on the core BF1942 balance without stretching it too much. For instance, we’ve added the mortar to a kit, which really opens up a ton of new strategies on the Pacific maps. And of course, adding armed passengers to vehicles like the jeeps, landing craft, and PT boat rafts makes these vehicles much more fun to use. The radios blasting out the BF1942 themes we’ve all come to love is a really fun addition!

Q: Tell us a little about the flamethrower. Which class can use this? Just how devastating is it in combat?
A: The flamethrower kit is a spawned object that can be picked up and used by any soldier, just like the jet pack in Secret Weapons of WWII. The flamethrower is devastating in close combat, but its range is also the main weakness. It’s the perfect weapon for clearing houses and bunkers, but not the best choice when out in the open. Any object the flame touches will burn for several seconds, making it useful for sealing the entrances and exits from key locations.

Naja, ganz nett für leute die kein BF1942 haben.
Ansonsten ist es im original irgendwie doch schöner und besser.

Farblich hats an Kontrast verloren und wirkt nimmer so "fröhlich"; merkt man vorallem bei Wake.

Find ich net so gut, aber sonst ne nette Mod.
