Battlefield 1942 patch V1.4

[Scooba Da Bass]

I've just got hold of a leaked copy of this upcoming patch, aparently EA are ok with it as it is finished. So far it's pretty nice, blood effect so you can tell if you've hit someone at long range, plus a pair of new guns;

New Russian sub machine gun

New Japanese sub

Having only played locally the Jap gun is REALLY powerful especially prone, reminds me of the pre 1.3 Bar. The Russian gun is a lot less accurate and slightly less powerful, however if you fire in bursts it's all good, plus it has 47 (!) rounds, no reloading for me.

They've fixed and tweaked a lot of the sounds, the MGs no longer sound like air rifles.

The nicest change I've found so far is AA guns now do not do splash damage when hitting sandbags, and the flak rounds have a lovely new animation when exploding.

All in all, yay for EA, and roll on the official release.

I have nothing of interest to contribute.

Is it right about it not allowing client-side mods Scoobs ?

It's a server side setting with a few variables, so you can allow mods to sound/graphics, but not certain cheats, or you can run a pure only server, which is nothing but a clean install and the latest patch.

OMG HAXXXOR BAN HIM!

And how did you obtain said copy? I still think you're one of EA's bitches.

Friday some people reckon for the release?

Based on the quality of the patch I'd say that a Friday release is pretty likely. I'll see if I can get a copy of the leak onto a server somewhere for anyone who fancies a play around with all the new stuff.

It has come to our attention that a non-final version of the 1.4 patch has surfaced on the web. Please note that this is NOT the final version of 1.4, and it WILL NOT be compatible with the final version of 1.4. We strongly recommend that you do not install it. If you have installed it, our suggestion is that you reinstall BF 1942.

Stay tuned to the official Battlefield 1942 website for our regularly scheduled community update this Friday.

Check out the offical page, they have a statement about the said 'leaked 1.4 patch' I think u will find that they do not want people to install it as its not finished and is not compatiable with the finished 1.4 patch.
