Hey everyone,

As the years go by, more and more download links to classic Battlefield 1942 mods are going dead. To keep the legacy of this game alive and accessible, I am putting together a comprehensive archive over at bf1942.online—but I need your help to track down the forgotten gems and less known mods.

If you have an old hard drive gathering dust or a stash of files saved from the golden days, I am looking for anything you can dig up:

  • Total Conversions: The big overhauls and passion projects that might have fallen off the radar.

  • Custom Maps & Map Packs: Forgotten clan maps, community creations, or event-specific maps.

  • Mini-Mods & Tweaks: Small gameplay changes, custom models, weapon packs, or vehicle additions.

  • Server Files & Tools: Any custom server-side mods, administration tools, or old patches.

How you can help:
If you have the actual .zip or .rar files, active links to obscure hosting sites, or even just dead links that can be plugged into the Wayback Machine, please share them!

You can reply directly to this thread, send me a DM, or drop a link to a cloud drive. Even if you think a mod is too obscure or "broken," I'd like to preserve it.  Credit will be given on the site to anyone that helps contribute to this effort.

Let's make sure these pieces of BF1942 history aren't lost to time.

Thanks in advance!
~OC

Is it possible to claim 3 profiles because I use 3 names I play with on the servers?

Yes!  There is no limit to the names you claim. They are manually approved to make sure each claim is legitimate.

#9 Re: Technical Help » Dedicated Server and Master Server » 2025-12-13 04:22:36

You need to change the master server address to master.bf1942.org.  The master.gamespy.com and master.bf1942.sk no longer work.

Only ports 14567 and 23000 are needed for gameplay. The rest are no longer used and could allow potential vulnerabilities to your bf1942 server and host. If you are using BFSM on the standard port, you'll need to open 14667 as well.

Yes - feel free to link to any videos, etc.

I'll eventually have some video guides and more information added to the site. The stats portion of the site is a work in progress.

Hi All,

After a lot of work, I'm excited to finally launch a project I've been building for the BF1942 community. My goal was to create a modern, fast hub for everything Battlefield 1942.  Here's a quick rundown of what it can do:

Live Server List: You can browse a live list of servers, automatically sorted by who's online. Clicking a server takes you to a detailed page with a full scoreboard (split by team), a player history graph, the server's top 10 players, and a chart of the most played maps.

Player Search & Profiles: There's a full player search so you can look up anyone by name. Every player gets their own profile page showing their overall K/D, total score, playtime, and a full history of their recent matches.

Round History: Want to find a specific match? The Round History page is fully searchable by server name, map, or IP. You can click on any round to see the final scoreboard and who played in it.

Game & Mod Downloads: A  Play Now Guide with easy instructions for installing the game on a modern PC, plus a Mod Downloads section with links for DC, GC, IS82, and BF1918.

I hope this becomes a valuable resource for everyone. Check it out and let me know what you think!

This site is currently under active development. You may run into bugs or GUI errors. If there are any features or requests that you would like to see please let me know.

Mods, if this is not appropriate, please let me know and I'll delete this post. Thanks!

Site Address:     bf1942.online

Minor update this morning.

- Fixed a bug where servers with formatted names (e.g., italics) would not appear in the search results for the /subscribe command. All servers should now appear correctly when searching.

Is there a GitHub for this?

Unfortunately, there isn't one at the moment. I just pushed v1.1 of the bot, which includes some big improvements to how it works and a brand-new data system.

To anyone who has already configured thier alerts, because of this switch to a new data ingestion system, you'll need to reset any alerts you had configured. I know this is a hassle, and I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience!

If you have any questions or have feedback, feel free to send me a DM here or on Discord.
