[ -> N/A]

Another game is getting a post-apocalyptic mod - this time it's Battlefield 1942. Yay!<blockquote>Nuclear Winter is a battlefield 1942 total conversion which take place in the near future. The Tsjernobyl nightmare repeat itself in a much worser form, the nuclear plant of Kursk is collapsed. The toxicity spread over a huge area and the explosion caused much damage. The toxic area forms a whole new world, with his own secrets.

A few years later expeditions start, discovering this abandoned world. Looking for the cause of this accident, to do some research or to find anomalous formations. It is here that the game startÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã‚Â¦</blockquote>Ooer. Check out the Nuclear Winter site <a href="http://nw-mod.tk/" target="_blank">here</a>. Thanks Dylan!

Am I the only person who gets really annoyed at terrible english translations?

Hmm... I just got Battlefield 1942 today. If this thing isn't a piece of crap (sadly, I'm guessing it will be), I might just get it.

There's another post apoc mod for BF1942 called Wasteland 2042 in the works, too.

Wow, that Wasteland 2042 mod deal is taking tons of nice shit from Mad Max/Road Warrior. Nice models. If they finish this mod I might buy Battlefield 1942.

I have that game. To buggy, however. Another patch and I may consider using a mod(or the game itself).

BF1942 is quite fun, but the non-vehicle combat is weak.

Yeah, I don't much like the infantry weapons in BF1942. They either don't seem to do anything or have a rate of fire that's too damn slow to do anything. But driving the vehicles is a lot of fun.

Weapons dont seem to do anything?

)
If youre shooting at a moving target, use small bursts and aim slightly ahead of your victim, aim for the head... you also know what recoil is i presume?

Yes, I know, but I mean that the weapons somehow seem less meaty and satisfying than in games like TFC. And no, I'm not talking about the HWG's minigun here.

I di like BF1942 overall quite a bit.

Not one of the weapons in TFC were portrayed realistically. I haven't played BF1942, so I can't make an accurate comparison. Besides, anything is better than the cartoonish style of TFC.

It is called Action Half-Life.
Beware!

Feel free to disregard my above comments about the BF1942 weapons. Having somewhat stopped sucking, I've noticed that the weapons are just fine.
