Customer Reviews of Battlefield 1942: Secret Weapons of WWII Expansion Pack

1. As one user stated, some maps are too small for fast moving aircraft.

2. The game alot of times runs slow, even on a good system.

3. There are only 8 new levels. Four or five of them aren't that cool.

4. The super heavy tank with the AA gun is too slow.

5. The intro shows the tank with the missles shooting them at very fast speeds. The actual shooting speed in the real game is about 1/4 as fast as it shows them traveling in the intro.

Overall though, this a very fun game. The jetpack lets you jump onto tall buildings, and shoot down on people. I love it! For $20.00, this is a very fun and great game. Just make sure you have a good system when you buy it. The best levels buy the way are Hellendoorn and The Gothic Line. The worst level is Kbely Airfield, and it is terribly boring.

By the way, did you notice the new blood effects when you are shot or when you are shooting the enemy soldiers. Check it out!

EA is hot with this series.
If you find yourself worrying about the fact the game has been out only a year, and there are already two expansions, just cancel that. And I'll tell you why:

First off, secret weapons of WWII although an expansion, feels at times like I whole new game. It brings things to the multiplayer mega-seller that were missing from the previous two releases, the game feels more complete with this add-on. (as opposed to the last expansion, Road to Rome, which left me wondering why I bought it.) Secret weapons brings not only a slew of new and cool weapons like, jetpacks, AA tanks, shotguns, Motercycles, and others, but also new gameplay modes. There are now objectives to certain maps, which makes the battles seem more meaningfull.

I personally enjoy this game simply for the shotguns, jets, and aa tanks, but everyone has their personal favorite addition to the battlefield world. If your looking for improved graphics, no luck there, its just an expansion, but if your getting bored with the old maps, and weapons this game is for you.

PROS:
More in depth maps.
More weapons including: 2 different kinds of jets, a cargo plane that is a spawn point, a tank with a naval gun attached to it, an aa tank, motercycle with a gun turret on the passanger carriage, shotguns, and more.
Objective based maps. (sweet)

CONS:
Not enough additions, I thought there might be more.
Too many glitches left untouched
Maps sometimes too small for the fast moving jet planes, making it hard to concentrate on firing, and watching the map limits at first.

Personally, Id say this game is worth your money.

Not so much...
EA recently dropped the price of this expansion, but I don't feel it's worth the $20 price tag. It's not even worth half that amount.
There is no expansion to the one-player campaign mode, there are only added maps containing the new vehicles, weapons, etc. The new technology is not even playable on the original BF 1942 maps. And here's the thing about the new maps: they're lame. If you check on available game servers, you'll see mostly original BF 1942 and Desert Combat maps. Secret Weapons maps are rare. This is because, as already stated, the maps are lame. Yes, the new technology is cool at first, but what's the point when they are only there for multiplayer and there are no players using this game.
I'd say pass on this expansion, there's nothing worth buying here.
