Community release of Battlefield 1942 patch/update 1.7.0 ??
Posted: Wed Jul 23, 2014 6:58 am
EA Games have burned and abandoned anyone playing the classic, Origin version was probably the last and final thing they did just to beef up Origin's statistics only.
I was gone make a bold suggestion that maybe this community should look at making this patch: 1.7.0 update! I know from running around in this forum a couple of times that almost all the problems and fixes is described in here!!
What if we gathered all this knowledge and created a new patch? I don't think we need to worry about EA, they will never ever even touch this game anymore.. They have pretty much removed all the BF1942 pages, and dropped all the domains related to it... I read somewhere that they actually had lost the source codes for BF1942, although a backup somewhere should still have the codes.. But.. What's the chance of EA Games is gone spend money to find this backup... !zip!
I am relativly new to this community, but I have spotted several areas that I can contribute and do some fixing. And I know that there are some really clever and skilled people in here that has already done some patching thru their mods.
We could gather all fixes and improvements into a joint update, doing fixes first, then replace and create high-quality textures/models to bring the game up to today's level.
This might be a can of worms... but... realistically this forum is probably the only centre of excellence in regards to "battlefield 1942" and "refractor engine" these days..
I guess with my inexperience: Is this something we can do? or why cant we do it? Or we shouldnt do? ..thoughts?
