There's a new map out for Battlefield called Savo Island I have yet to play but its supposed to be a midway type map, just with more boats.

This is just a screen of the Mini-map, this gives you a rough idea of what it will look like in game.

     You can Download the map over at Gamespy, thankful when I checked it wasn't much of a wait.

     The GC team has posted some new skins of some of some of their weapons. The more stuff I see from this mod the more I want to get it. I'm pretty sure you'll remember the models before they were skinned, but here is what they look like now.

This is a static object that will be on the Tatooine map

This is a skinned version of the Sorosub Q-2s5 Holdout Pistol

This is the Golan Arms FC1 Flechette Launcher skinned

and finally the Kylan 3 both skinned and in-game.

     The GC team is also working on a lot of the coding for the planes, especially when they aren't moving (so they hover). go check out Galactic Conquest to see more in-depth news about the mod.

     I would just like to say thanks to BFCentral because they are the people I get the majority of my pictures from. so head on over to BFCentral to see a lot of news on other mods that I may not cover here.

     This mod has to be one of the mods I am most looking forward to playing. Not only is it a cool idea but the models make it a real joy to look at! I was looking around there site, and I saw a pic of the Millennium Falcon skinned!!! So here it is in full beauty for you all to enjoy...

     Head on over to Galactic Conquest and see the rest what else is being cooked up over there

     The EoV team has posted some new pics of hill 937 over at BFCentral. This map looks like its really going to rock. I hope it is as fun to play as it is to look at, now for some screeners

Huey doing a strafing run on the top of the mountain

"Its a long way up that hill soldier, so don't be a Rambo!"

Vietcong forces are deeply entrenched, can you dig 'em out?

     That's just some of the pics of the new map, so head on over to the Eve of Destruction website to see some more pics of the map, as well as, pics from other projects.

     The official web site just released a new community update on the upcoming 1.4 patch. Read on ...

Ten Hut Soldiers!

Another E3 is over. And while the floor of the LA Convention Center was a battlefield of products this year, when all was said and done, and the dust cleared -- Battlefield 1942 was still king of the hill when it comes to multiplayer action!

Now let's get back to business -- this week we're giving you another sneak peek at the upcoming 1.4 patch. First, let's take a look at what we've already told you about the patch:
•Tank Repair exploit - tanks will no longer be able to make repairs in the airplane hanger.
•Improved voting UI - the voting interface has been improved.
•Cheats - we will be implementing features to address many of the cheats currently being seen in BF1942 games.
•Linux Server
•Two new guns -- The DP 1928 - Japanese Assault rifle and the Type 99 - Russian Assault rifle.

Here are more features that you can look forward to in the 1.4 patch:

1. New and improved sounds in 1st person view, such as increased volume of impacts, louder grenade explosions and a new sound for the Axis Assault rifle STG44. Scoreboard now shows current server's name, IP address and map name.

2. Scoreboard also shows each player's ID number, which is used for creating your buddy list/voting to kick a player.

3. Rear gunner for Stuka/SBD/Ai-chi-val now has crosshair. Incremental patching will be available for clients (smaller 1.31-1.4 download)

Added a new blood effect for additional feedback when you are hitting another soldier.

Much, much more.

     Head on over to the official web site to read the rest of the community update

     Over at the Galactic Conquest web site, they have posted new pictures of some of their new weapon models. Also the Team is looking for a few good Skinners to replace some MIA one's. So if you have what it takes contact the team at their website. And now for the pictures...

This is the Merr-Sonn WW-41 CryoBan Grenade

The Kylan 3 pistol

The Epel'jaken "Razor" series MX

and finally the Swoop Biker Pistol.

     Well I was browsing through BFCentrals site and came across this really good looking mod for Battlefield. Its called Eternal Silence and its supposed to be set all in space. Think Earth and Beyond meets Battlefield. The maps won't be as big as EaB but it will still allow for some interesting came play. The player is reportedly going to be able to fly massive starships, or small fighters, and if flying isn't your thing, then form up a boarding party and board another vessel. The ships will have control points so that means you can take over another teams Star cruiser! There will also be planets to land on and conquer (I think because one of the pics would lead you to believe so) I really can't wait for this mod to come out cause it looks like a lot of fun! And now for some SS and Renders

This is an AA turret. This will probably be on a planet meaning that some maps may have ground.

This is a space station. Look how huge this thing is, this is sitting on the edge of the wake airport (see the at the bottom of the pic)

There's a load of more pics over at the Eternal Silence web site to get more info and see way more pics.

     Over at BFCentral the DC team has posted some new pics of renders that will be added in future releases. Here's a glance

This is the new Opposition boat, I have no clue what this is but it has 2 ak-230 dual cannons and 4 missile launchers.

Here is the new silenced pistol for Coalition.

Here's a new plane for the coalition, the F-15C.

And here's the new .50 cal skin, this thing is beautiful.

     Well the eve of destruction team has released a load of new screens for people to view. One of my insiders says that this mod is really looking nice, and that it is probably going to release when it is close to done, instead of having to patch every month or so like DC and S9rm. And now the pics

Over at BFCentral they said that once in the huey the Americans will be able to sit AND hold there fire their guns out the doors of the Huey. So go check out Eve of Destruction and read the news.
