BF1942 v1.5 update

[Bazerka]

Hiyas all,

All Battlefield 1942 servers will be updated to v1.5 at 6am this morning (2003-10-31).

Here's the changes :

==================================================================
Patch 1.5
==================================================================
CLIENT FIXES
-No more swapping CD's.  Any installed Battlefield 1942 expansion pack 
 or community mod can be played using any Battlefield CD. 
-Fixed an issue that would cause severe lag when going from a vehicle ladder 
 directly into a vehicle position.  This was especially prevalent with the 
 MG positions on Destroyers.
 -Fixed Omaha Beach ammobox-bunker exploit.

NEW FEATURES
-New map - Invasion of the Philippines, complete with all new Patrol Boats.
-A new US Marines skin replaces the USA army skin in the Pacific theatre.
-US Marines Engineer is equipped with the M1 Garand.
-Japanese Engineer has been retrofitted with the Type 5 semi-automatic 
 rifle.
-Kubelwagen replaced with the Black Medal Scout Car for the Japanese forces.
-Hanomag replaced with the Ho Ha APC for the Japanese forces.

Either grab the 1.45->1.5 patch or 1.5 full install from our ftp.

Enjoy!

Jase.

Damn you're quick

Downloaded the smaller patch, 1.45-1.5. No problems with the install, runs fine. Couple of sound issues, footsteps sound funny, radio commands cut off mid talk. Probably just need to update my sound drivers. New map's okay, need to play it more to be sure, no bot support though.

Thanks for the quick upload guys

hehe I think they've messed up somewhere - have a gander

Still have the weapon out while in the cockpit.

The pilot is apparently dead while still in full control of his plane

Nah they are just making a reference to your flying CDr

Been playing philipines a bit, seems quite fun and nicely balanced between air, sea and foot power. Not many land vehicles but who cares.

Only problem was that on the server I was using everyone and their extended family wanted to be allied. Teams were never even and most of the time they had double our numbers. Amazingly we still did alright and won through skills

New boats are pretty decent for beach landings. The machine gunner is really well covered and I felt like one of the german machine gunners at the start of saving private ryan, mowing down allies as they spawned in at the beach. Shame all my teammates were dead so no one could cap the flag though. Garand is nice, first time I used it I got two 1-shot kills right off the bat, but after that it seemed to take 2 shots.

That's about all I have to say about the 1.5 patch.

1.5 update works fine for me, I agree about the sound it is a little strange, oh well nothings perfect.

Just as a side question, why are all these new maps comming out without bot support ?

I know EA would like us all to play BF online but there are times when a good bot match can ease the tensions of a hard day.
