Automatic Download of new Maps from the hosting server would be a fantastic option. One just like many FPS have (like Unreal Tournament).

If a player tried to connect to a sever where he did not have the map installed already, the map would be downloaded off that sever hosting the map. This would make life much easier on getting new maps and LAN parties would not have to stop and wait for each person to install the map. More exposure of custom maps also, there will be greater distribution of dedicated BF1942 nut's hard work. This will extend the life of the game and remove much fustration experienced in the past by players not being able to find or install new custom maps.

I hope this feature makes it into the game, or in a patch there after it's release.
