I got this from the magazine Computer Games, also incase you are wanting to try different mods of the game out.

"...jumping around and taking damage like Schwarzenegger on steroids... long-range machine gun for maximum splatter and tweaks tanks so that they move faster and fire flamethrowers."

"...total conversion set during the Great War... equipment like the Red Baron's Fokker DR1 triplane, and maps depicting real battlegrounds like the Argonne Forest."

"..features peg-leg pirates, skull-faced pirates straight out of Cutthroat Island, and accoutrements like blunder-busses and galleons."



"... started life as a tank tactics tutorial... evolved into a mod for obsessive military buffs."

"...mod is aimed at... Canada's contribution to World War II."

"Get some revenge on General Aidid... U.S.'s disastrous expedition to the war-torn African nation in 1992."

"... Americans and Irais going toe-to-toe..."

"... real-time strategy components to play courtesy of destructible buildings, a resources system, and team commanders... you need to plan out attacks and build aircraft and vehicles factories, radar installations, refineries, gun turrets, and spawn bunkers for infantry. Futuristic weapons and vehicles..."

"... U.S. regular army, special forces, and ARVN troops are pitted against the NVA and Vietcong. Maps are set in Vietnamese villages, rice paddies, and of course the steamy jungle..."

".. Finns fought some impressive campaigns against both Germans and the Soviets."

"... realism tweak for the dark days of the Axis advance in 1940-1942. It includes around 250 new pieces of military hardware, such as P-47 Thunderbolt and the British Ark Royal aircraft carrier, and such intresting additions as the Polish army and a pilot class."

"...Rebels and Imperials battle for the galaxy with weapons and vehicles drawn from the original trilogy..."

"Anyone who wants to blow up a DeLorean... vehicular combat mod..."



I've tried Galactic Conquest, Desert Combat, and Forgotten Hope.

Forgotten Hope certainly requires a different playing style from the regular BF1942. Most people there are more team players and don't team kill you for getting a tank or plane faster than they are. Using vehicles to taxi to planes are frowned on and can even earn you a boot from the server.

Galactic Conquest I thought was alright, but looks odd seeing a AT-ST sliding along the ground instead of walking :)

Desert Combat is a good mod but the lack of group playing isn't very good and team griefers are around too
