BF1942, like MOH:AA, is published by EA. I beleive I read the MOH:AA team decided to take blood and gore out of their game out of respect to veterans. Therefore, it is likely the standard full game of BF42 will not come with blood. But this does not stop you from getting a blood patch. I have as much respect for veterans as the next guy, but I think blood serves a legitimate purpose for gameplay because it lets you know for sure that you hit someone. The blood patch for the BF42 SP demo (I forget the author but it was the only one of it's kind on the site I got it from) was very well done with a realistic cloud of dark red mist. There is no blood stain on the ground or anything, but as I said, the cloud is what I really want for me to know that sniper bullet actually connected. I tried a few blood patches for MoH:AA, but all of them looked pretty awful (one had almost pink blood and then drew a 10 foot wide puddle where the enemy fell) so I gave up on them. (I only really played MoH single player anyway). As far as BF42 goes, I'm happy that as early as the SP demo someone has already made a very nice blood patch. Either the same blood file will work with the Full game unchanged, or another version will be released.
