FNF – Custom Map List

The map list has been finalized. This time around, we bring you 6 maps, 3 from 304 and 3 from PlanetBattlefield.com.

China Sea – A pacific theatre map with lots of flags and an island only big enough for one of us. 🙂

304 Close Combat – This is probably the smallest, tightest, most wicked map you will ever play. King of the hill was never this fun.

Dambusters – Set in the dead of winter, Germany has the advantage, but Mother Russia can take that away. This will be an interesting battle as long as the Russians hold the line.

304 House of Hellsing – Youve seen a plane hangar and a train hangar, but have you ever seen a boat hangar? You have now if you play this map. This map is going to make you rethink every map you have ever played as you look at the most interesting use of fences I have ever seen. I hope you are not afraid of heights!

Tarawa – Another Pacific theatre map, but this time, there are tons of planes and tons of flags, on an even smaller island. Dont confuse the pier with Coney Island, because there is no time for cotton candy. You better move on those flags fast soldier, else you are gonna loose.

304 Fields of the Fallen – What can I say? This is the best map we have ever played on a Friday Night Fight, so we brought it back for another round. Just remember, every map needs a good hiding spot.

Join us as we give you a Friday Night Fights exclusive, never seen before presentation of 304s House of Helsing and 304s Close Combat (and I mean close).

Friday Night Fights – Custom Maps

This Friday night, FNF – Custom Map Night for Battlefield 1942 returns! We are still finalizing the maplist and downloads may not be ready until late tonight. Check back for the updated info.

The maps that we are sure of include Fields of the Fallen and House of Helsing. Those of you that played with us last time might remember Fields of the Fallen as one of the best custom maps ever played on a FNF. House of Helsing is the latest map from LoU Cipher and GreatScott, authors of Fields of the Fallen. And since they have joined the GRB, you can be sure they will be there to play these great maps with us. In fact, we will be the first to ever see their latest map.

The rest of the maps will be taken from some of the best Custom Maps ever submitted. Seriously, the level of talent with Battlecraft 42 was just starting to peak when BFV came out. We will have more info on GamersRadio.com as soon as we have the list finalized.

The action starts about 7pm CST and goes on until everyone gets sick of playing……

EoD Update

They plan on keeping both a BF1942 and BFV version so that people who cant play BFV for whatever reason will still be able to enjoy the mod.

Australian Music Sales Soar, Despite File Sharing

It appears that the Australian music industry had their best year ever, amazingly enough considering how p2p is hurting record sales (sic). Unfortunately, you wont hear about it on main stream media because they also downplayed the year with a spin that blames p2p for the drop in singles sales.

Here is an interesting article about the situation. I wonder if US sales will have a similiar effect and spin put out by the RIAA?

Putting the Radio Back In Gamers Radio

Thats right folks! The Deathmatch of Internet Radio Returns!

Finger Eleven
Sevendust
Slipknot
Probot
Korn

If you like those bands, then you will love our new station!

Epitaph Records Music News

Spent some time browsing the Epitaph Records website recently and found some things of interest on a number of bands….

Hepcat: For those who dont know Hepcat, they are an L.A. band that play an infectious style of ska that resurrects the rythms and swagger of the Studio One music that came out of Jamaica in the 1960s. They are re-releasing their first album Out of Nowhere and are celebrating with a few rare tour dates. If you are anywhere near any of these shows I recommend that you go see them. I saw them on the original Out of Nowhere tour in the early 1990s and they just blew me away. If you cant see them live, check out the CD or at the very least get the free mp3. You can find out more here. Continue reading Epitaph Records Music News

Photo Gallery setup!

We added a photo gallery to the site and uploaded all of the QuakeCon 2003 pics that Goose and I took last year.

We will be adding a lot of images to that area as we go from event to event. Keep an eye on it! 🙂

Gallery link is located on the left under “Features”

We are also adding some interesting military and commercial airplane pictures. – Atomm

Band of Brothers Returns to TV

As inspiration for mods and maps (not to mention numerous player handles) for Battlefield 1942, the HBO Series Band of Brothers ranks very high.

Beginning on Sunday, April 11, at 9:00pm/8:00c the History Channel will be showing the series in its entirety starting with the “Currahee” episode. No word on whether it will be commercial free or not. You can sign up for an email reminder on the History Channel Website.
