The World War II subject has been exhausted over the years, mainly due to the fact that it was featured in countless movies, documentaries and books. However, the video games industry took a decent bite out of the subject as well, since there are entire franchises centered around the conflict and more than enough shooters that promise an authentic experience of the war.

Battlefield 1942: Secret Weapons of World War II is an expansion pack that aims to extend the original game with quite a bit of additional content, in the form of new weapons, maps and vehicles. However, it also tried to keep any other kind of modifications to a minimum, in order to maintain the feeling of the franchise and not risk breaking anything in the process, especially since the original release was so well received.

The premise, as it may be fairly obvious from the title, revolves around various weird, but interesting inventions that have their roots around that time, such as experimental vehicles, powerful tanks and even jetpacks, in order to make the matches a bit more fun. However, most of the additions are taken from history books, which means that both the Axis and the Allies had some wild ideas prepared.

As usual, the multiplayer matches are always very visceral, especially since there are many fronts for the war to take place on. The available vehicles allow you to quickly get from one side of the map to the other, whether by land, sea or air. Moreover, the new maps features all the mediums and they make it very easy to use all the tools in a very efficient manner.

Although the graphics engine did not suffer any modifications when it comes to textures, effects and technical capabilities, the new maps, weapons and vehicles have been nicely modeled to depict the real ones, at least in the case of the latter. Obviously, the new guns also had to balance each other out, in order avoid one faction being stronger than the other due to the superior firepower.

Despite the fact that it is only an expansion, Battlefield 1942: Secret Weapons of World War II makes a good case for itself and it can certainly be the source for countless hours of fun. The experimental weapons and vehicles are very fun to fool around with, while the maps are very diverse and engaging.
