Thank you for keeping Battlefield 1942, BFV & BF2 Alive

I couldn't find a suitable place to post this, so  ended up choosing Help.  Maybe an admin could  move this to  the appropriate place if possible?

 

Firstly I'd like to thank the community for keeping this and all of the early Battlefield games alive.  I first played BF1942 via one of those demos you got on  computer magazines back in the   early noughties. The following day I went into the City centre (Manchester) and bought  the full game as it  blew me away. Being able to   use vehicles, fly planes etc was new to me. 

 

I've followed the Battlefield  franchise ever since, much preferring it to the Call of Duty games; however,  my favorites are the first three games, all of which I still play occasionally, though Battlefield Vietnam is my favourite as my formative years were in the middle and end of the Americans involvement in Vietnam, so I saw lots of  news about the conflict. 

 

Anyway, I had a hankering to play one of my favorite Battlefield 1942 maps 'The Eagles Nest' the other week after playing some BF2 and BFV, so  reinstalled my  hard copy and the expansions. (I have two copies of the disk version plus  one on EA's  app, and now discovered you can get the whole lot for fee via  abandonware sites).   Over the last few days I've been downloading as many BF1942 maps as I could find.   I'm trying to persuade a few friends to get into the game as   I love the fact that there are still servers out there hosting this amazing game. 

I'd love to see a reskin of this beautiful game

Anyway, after downloading  quite a few from the German GAU site and  finding a lot offline, but managing to get those from Filefront, I felt I should donate to the site  to help out a little.  I've downloaded many files from this site over many years going back almost 20 years, so feel it's about time I contributed something; especially now that I'm retired and have enough  disposable income to enjoy life.
