Most people don't realise that Battlefield 1942 and Battlefield Vietnam
were made by different crews. The developers of 1942 are creating BF2
while the developers of Vietnam are currently creating an expansion pack
for BF2. Vietnam was little more then a cash-in while the core
developement team worked on BF2.
