Electronic Arts has new video of their upcoming Battlefield: 1942 expansion pack, Road to Rome. It's about a minute long and is definatly worth a look.
Road to Rome is a multiplayer-focused expansion pack gives you more of what you demand from the original Battlefield 1942, including more maps, more vehicles, and more fighting forces.
The Road to Rome focuses exclusively on the key Italian and Sicilian campaigns of WWII. Each map comes with highly detailed environments such as Italian houses, Mediterranean trees, and even the Monte Cassino Monastery. This expansion pack features eight new vehicles. These include the German BF-110 and British Mosquito twin-engine fighter-bombers as well as new Italian, British, and German tanks and anti-tank guns.
The Road to Rome supports up to 64 gamers (on select maps), playing as several infantry classes, controlling many weapons available to the Axis and Allies, and commanding numerous land vehicles, ships, and aircraft.
New map up for grabs
EA has also released a new Battlefield 1942 map called The Coral Sea. The map is a basic deathmatch level with no spawn points other than the respective side's carriers. This map doesn't support co-op play.
Here's a nice Weblog, which keeps track of the jobs at Vole Central.
You may also find this page interesting -- a white paper which discusses converting Unix servers to Windows. It's old, but it's still interesting.
