EA har annonceret, at en ny Battlefield 1942 er under udarbejdelse. Bl.a. den hårdt tiltrængte map editor vil blive implementeret, så folk selv kan lave baner. EA udtaler følgende om den kommende patch :
At the top of the list:
- Linux Server
- 1.2 Patch
- Map Editor
- Mod Tools
We also have some updated information about the top list items. The Linux Server is currently going through the debug process and we're working hard to get it out as soon as possible. The 1.2 patch will address many of the issues which have been brought up on the forums and boards concerning bandwidth optimization, client prediction tweaking and general stability (sorry, Digger, we're not going to add a grappling hook!) The patch will also deliver the highly anticipated Map Editor. As for other mod tools, we're looking at what it would take to modify the existing dev tools for the mod-community. Stay tuned for more updates.
Desværre har vi ikke fået nogen udgivelses-dato for patchen.
