one of the demo and haven’t turned back. Personally, I feel that the
graphics in the new mod are a bit 'cartoonish' for my liking and for 4 months
work the community could have done better.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

simple that DICE considers BF1942 to be dead, even with thousands of unique
players each day.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoPlainText><font size=2 color=navy face=Tahoma><span
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Tahoma;color:navy'>Regarding the petition,
I have always thought DICE wouldn’t even look at it, looks like I was
right. They will all be getting ready to rush the release of BF2 in my opinion
but who cares from the DICE and EA sides of things? I know for a fact they don’t.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoPlainText><font size=2 color=navy face=Tahoma><span
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Tahoma;color:navy'>v1.1 is a big
improvement from 1.0, I must give that to them, but why wasn’t it there
from day one? It took months to make a patch that actually made the game partially
what enjoyable? Dice say that it’s a new game entirely, so how did they
build the 1.1 patch of BF1942 v1.5? Where were the features that we were
promised? Flare gun, tunnel system … never appeared? There’s a surprise.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

really do enjoy the game and want to see it last for a lot longer than it is
set to. By Dice and EAs reckoning it already is dead!<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
