The demo is coming out August 8th. It looks pretty neat. Anyone gonna pick this up when it comes out?

The jet pack looks neat. But I wonder if the Germans actually were working on anything like it.

Lestat · 08-05-2003, 09:00 AM

I can't wait!

TerraFORM · 08-05-2003, 09:48 AM

I might get the demo, but definitely not the addon itself--it appears to be a modification; I was burnt with Road to Rome and I'm ambivalent about another purchase.

That being said, if Desert Combat was only available on the shelves I'd fork out for it in a heartbeat.

hell yah i am going to buy it.....i must agree that i was kind of pissed at road to rome...but SW has SOO many more vehicles that I feel its worth it...

I still havent played Battlefield 1942! I know, i know, I'm not cool. I have to many games to play already.

mute76 · 08-06-2003, 10:41 AM

Hello yeah, BF1942 is by far one of the best multiplayer games I've every played...can't wait for the add on.

Caphreak · 08-06-2003, 12:20 PM

Well, I watched a show on the history channel about these "secret weapons" or at least some of them. The jetpack was true, but they said it blew up 50% of the time, so they scrapped it. Hopefully the ingame jetpack will do the same. Maybe itll balance the people who would exploit it?

baboora · 08-06-2003, 10:43 PM

Cool...can't wait to try it

Apokx · 08-08-2003, 12:51 AM

Heh,the other day I mentioned Motorcycles to a friend while playing on our LAN...

Man I'm good ;p

^dude · 08-08-2003, 04:50 AM

sweet, i love bf1942 and desert combat, and this looks sweet, jetpacks are gonna own!

Krycheck · 08-08-2003, 11:41 AM

The Nazi's did work on jet packs. Problem being that in the game you can shot the pack and it will explode or it can just randomly explode if over used

This reminds me of a something I played many, many years ago: Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe

John Falcon · 09-05-2003, 02:52 PM

I used to play Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe all the time.

They have a sequel/remake coming out this fall.

Also, i just bought the BF1942 SWWW2 disk today. It's pretty neat...although no major game changes.

Lasereth · 09-05-2003, 02:54 PM

Secret Weapons is really, really addicting. Of course there's no major game changes; don't mess with something that's not broke!

My favorite new addition would have to be the British Assault rifle. That thing is so badass. That, and perhaps the Flakpanzer.

I guess I was just disappointed that many of the additions were new, faster aircraft. It was hard enough to successfully strafe anything before, let alone at three times the airspeed.

The rocket pack is damned cool though. They're a great way to sneak into the enemy base. "Fence? Haha!" I also enjoy the C-47 that doubles as a respawn point.

Does anyone know if the additions are only available in the new maps? Or do any of them show up in the older maps?
