i personally think it's a waste of time to develop it on the bf1942 engine. the game is way too old to attract any players beyond a few past members. besides the cliche graphics and combat in comparison to today's battlefield experiences, the physics in general are vastly in need of improvement, especially while driving. the vehicles have a slow top speed, they lack any ability to drift, making turning a monstrosity sometimes, the brakes are practically useless in a sense, and there is practically no traction on the vehicles. even if these issues were to be fixed, i don't think we can expect anything more than a few new people on this engine. the newer games would fix all of the above issues i mentioned amongst add new features to the mix.
Edit: bob's comment basically sums up the problem that the community is faced with. with such a small community, it's very difficult to get a decent discussion between opposing viewpoints. the only ones that have stayed are those that are still completely bonded to this community, so obviously they're going to be in agreement. my comment was sarcastic and offensive in a way, but i wanted to try to offer a different outlook on the issue other than what we mostly hear
my response is wait for another battlefield game. i'd love to see is82 1.9 come about, but the bf1942 engine is definitely not the game to accomplish it on. to attract anything more than a few people a new engine needs to be considered.
