Battlefield 1942 Secret Weapons Demo Released

Posted by simoniker on from the luftwaffe-want-their-secret-weapons-back dept.

Thanks to Blue's News for their post indicating that the playable PC demo of Battlefield 1942: Secret Weapons of WWII has been released, "offering a sample of the upcoming Battlefield 1942 add-on that plays 'what if' with experimental weapons." You don't need the original title to play, and there are mirrors of the 165 MB download on 3D Gamers, Gamer's Hell, BF1942files.com, and a BitTorrent link via 3DGamers.

    Yeah, Road to Rome was a bit of a disappointment.

    Also I now hear that there's a lot of cheating going on; Petition against cheats in BF1942.

    They are providing hosting - its the 1st link on their offical page. If they wanted to they could not allow it to be distributed by other sites but what advantage to me as a gamer would that be? I would just have to wait forever to be able to download it. Also sites such as shacknews, 3dgamers etc would not benefit from people visiting them, seeing what the site was about and maybe returning in the future.

    The purpose of Hearts of Iron is to simulate WWII on a global scale, not necessarily the research of Da Bomb. It does include an interesting research model (some like it, some hate it) that is for the most part pretty accurate.
