Battlefield 1942: Secret Weapons of WWII

Battlefield 1942: Secret Weapons of WWII is the second official expansion pack to the award-winning action game, Battlefield 1942. It gives the players the opportunity to try several extremely deadly toys that arose in the German and Allied laboratories during the Second World War. Some of them never went beyond the testing phase, however, thanks to the game, we can see how the war would go if they were used during actual combat.

The player is given eight new campaigns located in different conflict-stricken parts of Europe, such as Telemark, Peenemuende (V2 rockets production facility), Essen, or The Eagle's Nest (Hitler's hideout).

Thirty vehicles available in the basic version of the game were extended by a further sixteen such as the famous German Flying Wing Horten HO 229, American Sherman tank equipped with a T-34 Calliope rocket launcher, Goblin jetfighter, C-47 transport aircraft, Armstrong Whitworth AW-52, the German Wasserfall guided missiles, and so on.

The number of available gameplay modes has been extended by only one position, but certainly a very interesting one. The previously unavailable objective based mode where the players must perform some specific task given to them them. For example, destroy a secret weapons factory.

There are four new weapons available. For example, a throwing knife which can instantly kill an enemy (provided that we hit him), Remington Auto 5 shotgun, and Mauser K98 sniper rifle with a grenade launcher. There is also the prototype of the German rocket backpack that allows you to fly and fight at the same time, Wasserfall rockets controlled in first person perspective, C-47 aircraft serving as a spawn point, and new units – British and German commandoes.
