Check out http://www.galactic-conquest.net/ for mirrors. Tonight the Empire Falls!" Not to be confused with a similar official product, Star Wars: Battlefront, there's a large number of screenshots showcasing this unofficial BF1942 mod, which we've previously reported on

    Download it from here. it will give you an idea on what the mod looks like. To me, this looks a lot better than 0.1 version which was ugly and not so great. I will be playing this mod this weekend. :)

    THIS IS NOT THE END

    THIS IS A NEW BEGINNING

    Lawyers have contracted us on behalf of the Hasbro Corporation.

    As you could probably guess, they've issued a cease and desist.

    Our current plan of action:

    We are in the process of contacting Hasbro directly to see if we can

    get their permission to continue producing the mod.

    It's a long shot to say the least.

    We are assuming we will not get their blessing.

    In that vain we have already begun converting most of the stuff in game

    to a non-trademarked version of itself.

    This means the mod will live on, with the same feel and same game play.

    It's only the look of the Mod that needs to change.

    In many ways this is an almost positive thing.

    For instance, we now feel we can take greater creative

    license with all the vehicles currently in game.

    In fact, we think you'll enjoy the new versions of our

    own vehicles more than their original counterparts.

    We would like to take this time to thank all of our loyal fans.

    We appreciate the support you've shown us over the past year

    and hope you decide to stay with us through this rough spot.

    More updates to come once we've heard from Hasbro.

    We still have not received anything from Hasbro so we are moving in a new direction. We have taken down our old page and will be creating a new one. We have posted links to our forums here an have a small contact list here. Right now we need some help naming a couple of the new vehicles so if you guys would like to help us out please check out the post in our forum or you can go directly to post here.

    Thanks for the post, shame you didn't bother posting this piece as well.
