Battlefield Pirates (1.0) Wait no longer, Battlefield Pirates 1.0 is here! This is the last and final version that is going to be released for Battlefield 1942. In the words of a pirate himself, 'Get set t' pillage an' plunder with loads o' new content, redesigned gameplay an' lush realistic environments t' make any land lubber get their Yarr' on!'
Battlefield 1942 Windows 10 Patch
Release notes for this new version can be found on this post at the Battlefield Blog
A few notes:
You cannot play on servers intended for the physical version of the game. This Origin re-tooled version does not support the Gamespy framework that the CD version ran on top of. Here's to hoping all the old communities move over and no fragmentation occurs.
Mods have not been tested. We'll see what shakes out in terms of compatibility.Mods work perfectly fine if you can get their installers to run: some installers won't run unless you've got the CD version installed. I'm sure we'll have new installers in a matter of days.
Widescreen? Windows 7? Patches? Windowed mode
Everything you need to know in terms of game settings can be found at the PCGamingwiki article for BF1942.

Mods to check out Ordered by approximate number of players
note: all mods should work if they install as noted above. Some installers, like Forgotten Hopes, insists on only installing if the CD copy is installed. This is being worked on by the moddevs and we should have new installers pretty soon.
Battlefield 1942 Forgotten Hope Secret Weapons Mod
note for veterans: if you already had the mods installed on your disc versions, just copy the mod folders (in Program Files/EA Games/Battlefield 1942/mods) over to the new origin folder (Program Files/Origin Games/Battlefield 1942/mods).

Desert Combat 0.7 / Desert Combat Final - The classic Gulf-War modern combat mod.
Forgotten Hope 0.7 - What BF1942 should have been. Realistic maps, units, and combat over all theaters of war. NOTE: FH is not installable with the original 0.7 installer (it checks for and requires the disk version): UPDATED MANUAL INSTALL LINKS
Forgotten Hope Secret Weapon - A mod that adds secret/fictional assets and maps from WW2 in the same realistic style as Forgotten Hope. Example: German Tank, The Ratte, the size of a battleship roving El-Alamein
Eve of Destruction - Vietnam Conflict mod. TONS of maps and assets thanks to it's single developer over the last 4 years, EoD.Lotte.
Battlegroup42 Same goal as Forgotten Hope, with different results. Tons of units and great maps.
Silent Heroes - Modern day Sweden vs. Norway! Probably the best-crafted infantry experience to be had on the BF42 engine with some really interesting vehicles and interface design to boot.
Interstate 82 - Racing/Deathracing/car platforming. Also very fun and nothing a great change of pace from objective-based Vanilla.
Battlefield: Pirates - Pirate warfare on land, sea, and air (kindof). Funnest shit ever.
Galactic Conquest - Star Wars Space/Ground warfare mod. My favorite mod of the bunch.
