[quote="ED! Ban #126":a6c74][quote="SW-14":a6c74]Guys, we have been approached by a few publishers, but nothing has been finalized. We aim to keep it like CS in that you will be able to download it for free if you have BF1942.[/quote:a6c74]

Dunno SW, that article makes it seem PRETTY CLEAR that EA wants this mod under their umbrella. And why not. Its shaping up to be a PRETTY popular modification for BF1942, and why mods are exactly what games need to extend the longevity of a product, which in turn means more revenue for the publisher. Honestly - without CS, I cant imagine HL would have the kind of impact it has now....that mod has singlehandedly made Online Gaming the force it is today.

I can EASILY see a BF:1942 bundle with DESERT COMBAT. You AUTOMATICALLY get two games in one.[/quote:a6c74]

And geesh, it's still in Alpha, CS was far ahead by the time of a retail release.
