BF1942 DEMO possible resurrect ..?

[mistamontiel]

Has the BF1942 demo not have/had many mods ? Last time I launched it (three-ish months back) I saw different maps under the browser ..

Now that GS has gone belly-up .. by any chance could the BF1942 demo be saved ? :{ I also noticed it has nice dust/smoke trails and the funniest physics .. oh the ball used to have back in the day ;| Hopeful that the BF1942 demo can stay live for more laughs

You pretty much have to pirate the game these days to get it (It's not on Origin anymore. ), the ever shrinking player base of the old demo is practically non-existant. You're better off just torrenting the game at this point. Though the only place you can still buy the game is perhaps on Amazon or other online retailers. The game isn't being sold by EA directly anymore, so they no longer make money on the game.

The demo was still being played because it was free. But then BF1942 was put on Origin for free early last year. Makes the demo even more pointless now even before the gamespy shutdown.

Also modding the demo is a big pain in the ass. Believe me, I've tried. I can't do anything useful with it. The game has this odd quirk where there must be a certain number of objects on the map that matched what the original map had. If there's more vehicles then there originally was or the existing vehicles has too many modifications, then the server starts the map with tickets quickly hitting zero and not letting anyone spawn. I gave up on it. This is probably why full on map replacements/mods aren't out there for the demo.

Yeah man I would suggest moving on to the full version of the game and to bring the dying demo population to the full game as well.

There are much more you can do over here on the modding scene, mods being built all the time, even old full conversion mods (Galactic Conquest) being revived with much success.
