Summary
Secret Weapons of WWII, the second expansion pack for the mega-successful Battlefield 1942 game, significantly enhances the first-person gaming experience by bringing the most bizarre and deadly weapons from the German and Allied laboratories to the Battlefield. Featuring top secret, cutting edge weapons, secret forces and secret places, a new level of drama and excitement has been added to the expanding Battlefield experience.
Many of the new vehicles and weapons featured in Secret Weapons - considered futuristic given the timeframe of the game - were considered extremely powerful yet experimental. While these armaments and vehicles are rooted in WWII history, many never saw actual combat. However, they are put to good use in the game.
Secret Weapons lets gamers control and use these new weapons and vehicles in eight fresh WWII combat battlefields that include Telemark, Peenemuende, Essen and The Eagle’s Nest (Hitler’s hideaway). All of Secret Weapons’ new battlefields offer unique settings that range from nightfall during the summer in Prague to a winter battle in Norway.
Secret Weapons brings the total of playable vehicles in the game to 46. In addition to the 30 vehicles in the original game, players can operate 16 new vehicles including a Horton HO 229 fighter plane, equipped with formidable machine gun. Other vehicles include a US Sherman tank, a US Super Heavy Tank, a Sturmtiger and a Goblin jetfighter.
Complete with all of the above and a brand new objective-based mode of play, Secret Weapons is undoubtedly a fine addition to the Battlefield 1942 series.
