Q: How soon after release of BFV did work begin?Ī: Work began on the WWII Mod in early April of '04, so less than a month after BFV launched.

Q: Why did you decide to create this Mod?Ī: EA approached us with the idea, and DICE agreed that bringing some Battlefield 1942 (BF1942)content up to par with Battlefield Vietnam (BFV) would be a great way to show the modding community just how powerful the BFV engine is.
