It's been a long time coming, but we're getting very close to getting our hands on the EU / UK 1.4 patch for Battlefield 1942 - some reports say the Japanese version is already out. Here's the deal:


  • New and improved sounds in 1st person view, such as increased volume of impacts, louder grenade explosions and a new sound for the Axis Assault rifle STG44.
  • Scoreboard now shows current server's name, IP address and map name.
  • Scoreboard also shows each player's ID number, which is used for creating your buddy list/voting to kick a player.
  • Rear gunner for Stuka/SBD/Ai-chi-val now has crosshair.
  • Incremental patching will be available for clients (smaller 1.31-1.4 download).
  • Added a new blood effect for additional feedback when you are hitting another soldier.
  • Much, much more.


Another feature of 1.4 that we'd like to explain is the "Content Check" option.

When content check is turned on by the server admin (default setting in the dedicated server front end), only players with completely clean BF 1942 installs will be able to play on the server. When content check is turned off by the server admin, anyone can join the server, whether they are running the merciless mod, or have have Desert Combat installed.

Currently, server admins will not be able to run content check servers that have user created maps/mods installed. If they do, clients will not be able to connect to those servers, regardless of whether or not they have the same maps/mods installed as the server.
Let's hope a general clean up of their server-side code has also been undertaken to give us players the best experience possible.

Lets hope the gamplay goes back to 1.2 patch.. In 1.3 eveything got screwy. animations were crappy and Nvidia cardownerd had to either tweak their card or lower their settings for smooth gameplay.

So lets hope..
