Today it is maintained mainly by one developer (Lotte). At the beginning it was called simply 'Eve of Destruction', without 'Classic' qualification adopted since the beginning of development of EoD2. EA released Battlefield 1942 in 2002, and just some months later (2003) Goetterfunke founded the EoD team to create a Vietnam modification for BF1942.

Eve of Destruction ClassicĮoD Classic was the first EoD mod developed for the Battlefield Series. Weapons: different kinds of weapons where also introduced: mortars, SAM missiles ( SA-2), flamethrowers, napalm bombs, grenade launchers ( MK-19), Gatling machine guns ( M134), and others.Ĭoop: in 'Coop' game mode, on which the game engine simulates other players ( bots), AI was recoded to coordinate disembarking of bots from medivac helicopters by launching 'colored smoke grenades' on landing zones. All maps from the original Battlefield 1942 game where ported in a 'Vietnam fashion', with appropriate vegetation and buildings, giving ' vanilla' users some tactical advantage in migrating to this mod. By the release of version 2.00, 150 original maps where already developed (see releases). Maps: (also called ' missions') special attention was given to maps development, with the creation of a great variety of landscapes, like tropical jungles, urban and ruined cities, rural villages, rice paddies, trenches, swamps, rivers, beaches, waterfalls, day, sunset, eclipse, night, fog, even Punji sticks booby traps etc. Many different purpose choppers are implemented: personnel ( Huey) & vehicles ( Chinook & Mi-8) transport, medivac, attack ( Cobra & Mi-4), etc. Helicopters: with EoD, helicopters where introduced to BF1942, with a rather realistic flight control: rotor tilt (forward-backward & left-right), rotor blades pitch (up-down) and anti-torque control (nose pointing). EoD added many significant modifications and new features compared to the original Battlefield 1942 and expansion packs:Īrmies: USA & Allies: USA, South Vietnam ( ARVN), Australia and France - North Vietnam & Allies: North Vietnam ( NVA), Russia (Advisors) and South Vietnam Guerrillas & Irregulars ( Vietcong).
