Thanks Lenny for posting this on our forum.
Electronic Arts and DICE have been working their tails off to deliver a present to you for the holidays. As part of our on-going support of the best multiplayer game ever, we are releasing the Battle of Coral Sea, a brand new multiplayer map for Battlefield 1942.
Map Description
Coral Sea is an exciting new map set in the Pacific theater. The action is fast and furious as players test their piloting skills with a total of 24 planes available on the map. The action isn"t limited to dogfighting however as each side has a carrier that they need to defend at all costs. To win, you"ll need to sink the enemy carrier, and then fly through a buoy that appears amidst the wreckage of the ship. Throw in some land-based AA guns and a defensive gun or two in the mix, and you"ve got our latest recipe for a great Battlefield 1942 holiday treat!
Coral Sea was designed to play with 24 players. We recommend sever settings of 24 players for the Coral Sea map.
