Battlefield Pirates - BF1942 All At Sea

Thanks to an anonymous reader for pointing to the new Battlefield: Pirates total conversion mod for the enormously popular Battlefield 1942 PC multiplayer action game, imbuing the Second World War title with a much more sea-dog friendly ambience. This fan-made modification bills itself as "the mod with big ships, big guns, and big hats", and as the screenshots show, allows you to man galleons, fire fortress cannon from the shore, and even duel close-in with cutlass and flintlock. And according to the pirate-y rumor section, ingenious use of the Captain's pet is encouraged - "..a certain class o' pirate has been boastin about how they've been able to tame wild parrots, teachin em to fly around looking for enemy ships and reporting back to their master."

I thought this was going to be about US sailors downloading mp3 files from KaZaa.
