New Custom Maps coming soon

Post by [JiF]Sgt Shellshocked »

We are about to release some new custom maps into the BF1942 coop rotation very soon.
Most of you should have received a PM relating to downloading this new map pack so if you haven't
done so already, please download it here at ...

downloads.php?view=detail&df_id=19

Sorry to anybody who did not get a PM we tried to include all active BF1942 players.
You may not like all of them but the idea is to include something for everyone.

Here is a little info on the maps

D Day
D day has finally come, and at sunrise, American, British, and Canadian forces will hit the shores
of Normandy. However, before the invasion, the 82nd and 101st Airborne divisions have been sent
behind the lines to meet up with the Army and form a continuous beachhead.


Giza
A small map set around the great pyramids at Giza this map feature trucks deploying V1 rockets.

Rheinmetall Panzer
This is it , the war is nearly over. But to help our allied units on the ground , we need you on
this final mission. A spy infiltrated a facility near Kiel , but diseappears after his first week
in .... Hopefully in his cache, we founded some pictures and a map of the facility ... Your
mission, is to use any means at your disposition to size this facility and stop the panzers being
built and shipped. This mission is top-secret and a priority one order !!!! "

Invasion Of Newfoundland
Fictitious scenario about an invasion of Canada by the German's Kriegsmarine. Every flag on the
Islands can be taken ,and the German's fleet spawn only once.

Portico Island
This is a fictitious scenario. During the battle of Guadalcanal, U.S. soldiers quickly and easily
seized all Japanese strongholds on the island, including the strategic airfield. They thought
they have won the battle, but the Japanese soon proved them wrong by staging Guerilla attacks
throughout the island. The Americans staged a raid on nearby islands to find the source of the
Guerillas. After two days of landing on deserted islands, they finally found the Japanese
hideaway on Portico Island

Reichsbahn
It's the Spring of 1945 and Allied forces are advancing through the Rhineland towards the heart of
Germany. German forces, driven from France and Belgium seek to repel the Allied advance and set up
defenses at the Rhine River. Allied's objective is to secure the checkpoints leading to Koblenz
and take the German supply depot there. The German's objective is to stop the Allied advance and
defend the supply depot and checkpoints.

Supply Line
Fictitious scenario where US and German tank and infantry units battle to gain control of the
roads,bridges and bases along the supply route. Some of us have played this map in competitions
and found that it plays quite well.



We hope that you enjoy them but please make sure you download the map pack.
The map pack is a zip file so you will need to download either Winzip or Winrar to unzip them.
Winzip can be downloaded at http://www.winzip.com/downwz.htm and Winrar at http://download.cnet.com/WinRAR-32-bit/ ... 07677.html

You should unzip the files to the normal folder where the bf1942 .rar files are stored,
on most US/UK pc's this is at C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield 1942\Mods\bf1942\Archives\bf1942\levels
but on your pc it may be different so please check carefully.


We hope that you enjoy the new maps

Have you tried to play the maps locally as a singleplayer game?

Also, when you say 'levels' folder can you post the full path of this folder.
On my pc this is C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield 1942\Mods\bf1942\Archives\bf1942\levels
I think that on your German pc this will be different.

Unfortunately, no coop version that we know of.
However, we are searching and testing new maps and may find one.
