The BFPro tournament Mod has announced a release date for their next version. Check it out.

The BFPro team is pleased to announce the long waited release of the .7 version of our Mod. The release is available Friday, October 15th for windows with the Linux server installer coming out shortly thereafter. What is BFPro?

BFPro was started to fix many of the small annoying things in BF:42 that EA should have done with a patch. For instance adding additional spawn locations at the various airfields or slowing down grenade reloads to prevent nade spamming. It then moved into tweaking individual maps in order to make the not only more balanced but simply more fun. Who enjoys getting base raped everytime they play Kursk. We didn't like it either so AA was added to the main base along with some additional tweaks making the game fun again.

Today I would like to spotlight a new mod under developement in the Battlefield community called Extended Warfare. Extended Warfare is being developed by Beach Assault Studios which some of you may already know. They have a beautiful website some awesome ideas for this mod. I encourage all Battlefield 1942 fans to check it out.

Extended Warfare is a very ambitious modification for Battlefield 1942. It is basically an extension of the original game bringing new vehicles, Armies, Countries and even North America into the mix.

For those who are having trouble with Black Bag Ops Custom Combat Editor, here is a solution.

Just a quick post about CCED 1.2. If you're experiencing problems with CCED 1.2 crashing, this is caused by trying to edit v1.1 CC profiles. The solution is to delete or move all existing .wst files out of the CCED folder. Unfortunately this also means you'll have to recreate your CC profiles with the new editor. I've asked Brent to see if it's possible to prevent the need to recreate CC profiles everytime DICE changes the file format and we'll try to address this in a future release if possible.

The Insurrection 1776 mod is pleased to release the latest version of their mod. Check this mod out.

This is an ALPHA release. This is very, very far from what our final game will be. Expect to see a lot of temporary skins, animations, and models as this game is still very much in active development. We are eager to hear your feedback and suggestions about the game, but please keep in mind that almost everything you will see in this version is not in its final form. We are releasing it for gameplay testing purposes and to give the Battlefield Vietnam community a taste of things to come.

* 18th century warfare with muzzle-loading muskets! Make your shots count or prepare for intense melee combat.
* 6 different muskets to choose from, including the Brown Bess with bayonet, the Blunderbuss, and the Kentucky Long Rifle
* Lingering smoke effects. After a few seconds of fighting, the battlefield will be smoke-filled mayhem.
* Right-click bayonet attack. Don't worry about trying to switch to melee in the middle of combat, if your musket has a bayonet, just use the alternate attack to stab with it.
* 18lb Garrison, swivel cannon, field cannon, and mortar
* Custom Player models, statics and much more
