Progress Report, Battlegroup42 for BF:V Work on BG42 for BF:V is coming along nicely. We've created quite a few internal builds these past few weeks, adding new effects, animations and maps. We have, of course, been showing off recently many of the vehicles and maps that will feature in the forthcoming release. This week, therefore, we'd like to look to the future. Firstly, with the impending release of BF2, you'll be interested in Gamers Radio Broadcast's interview of several mod teams, including the BG42 Mod. [ Available here ] Secondly, we'd like to share with you some work-in-progress models being readied for future releases. We'd like to start with our new Sherman base model. We're very excited with this excellent model by DaCrapper and plan on building many varations of the Sherman. We have also been working in the small arms department and have a finished Walther and a Sten model for show. Mr Arhipov has done some excellent skinning overtop Geronimo's Walther P38 model and Geronimo's excellent BG42 Sten model has received some skinning work by DauntlesDouglas. Of course, we haven't neglected our well known strengths in the Eastern Front theatre and present some great Russian tank models by Koricus. Battlegroup42 for BF:1942 Goes to Beta4 Battlegroup42 for BF:1942 is very near to a release date and is entering Beta4 which we expect will be the last round of testing. We have decided to combine the 1.1.1 release with the MOB Map Pack#1 and release as Battlegroup42 1.2. Our newly named BG42 v1.2 will come with a host of corrections, including returning the Tiger, Panther and IS2 turret and land speed to 1.0 speeds, considerable work fine tuning the AT weapons, and have further balanced many maps as well addressing some long standing issues. The inclusion of the map pack will add new maps to BG42 including BG42-enabled versions of the EA map pack maps, versions of Berlin and Stalingrad with no tanks, and many brand-new maps created especially for BG42 by members of MOB. PanzerSmurf has put together a short movie showing off some of the new maps for BG42 1.2 showing fly-overs of some of the features of the new BG42 1.2 Maps!
