Hello again, old friends
Posted: Thu Mar 30, 2023 4:01 am
Not even sure how I thought about BF1942 recently... but I was amazed when serversidemodding.com still worked. I see it redirects here, and I know the old database/forum seems dead, but I can't believe y'all are still here. I made a post here in 2011 and I know I never replied, and here we are again.
Does the game even work anymore? I assume PunkBuster died forever ago? I see Moongamers.com still exists but I don't even know what they still play. I remember when EA abandoned the game, there was basically just a cdkey patch that everybody used, PB broke, and there was no real way to prevent cheaters? I never tried BF1943 or any of the free to play games. BF2142 was the last one I played in the 2000's.
I recently read through ssm_tuts/ and I honestly remembered writing some of them. Many of them I did not write, full credit to the original SSM owners and contributors. But man I could tell which ones I did write. Thanks for keeping this alive all these years. It honestly brought me a lot of nostalgia.
20+ years after the game's release, we can all assume each other's ages at this point. I was a barely a teenager when I started playing BF1942, in high school when I came to acquire serversidemodding.com, and a freshman in college when I sold it. I always had mixed feelings about doing that, but I can also say I've not played any major video games since then (maybe TF2 from 2007-2009, but nothing after that). Since that was over 10 years ago... whelp time flies. I bet it would have disappeared at some point if I was still in charge, so I'm almost glad I got rid of it.
Would love to hear from some of the big names from back in the day! Thanks all, Ryan V. (Why Two Kay, The Xevious, 2Kills, Medic Man)
