3. Battlefield 1942 download updates
Some have complained they don't have the latest versions of battlefield heres where to find them:

3.1)Download and install Battlefield1942 Client Patch 1.6
3.2)Download and install Battlefield1942 Client Incremental patch v1.6 to v1.61b
3.3)Finished!

Finally the mod team would like to add Do not run! single player or co-op modes they are bugged and cause a crash to desktop at the moment.

We would also like some feedback from the Apple mac community on how to make the mod work for that O/S too as we remember someone posting in our old forums requesting us to support it.

Now go and have fun!
