UPDATE from fps central:
"There is some very exciting news posted today over at the Official Battlefield Vietnam website. They have just announced that the much anticipated WWII mod for BFV will be released this Friday! Here's the full press release:
Have you ever wondered what Wake Island or Iwo Jima would look and play like with real tropical foliage? Do you love Battlefield Vietnam but you want to be able to relive the classics without having to dig up your 1942 disks?
Now you can!
Available this coming Friday (8/20/04) from Digital Illusions and EA, the World War II mod for Battlefield Vietnam brings three Pacific Theatre maps from Battlefield 1942 into the Battlefield Vietnam engine. But these aren’t straight ports of the original maps. Instead, they make use of all of the upgraded features of the Battlefield Vietnam game engine.
Grab your sniper rifle and crawl through the thick grass and dense tropical foliage of Iwo Jima. Scoot around Wake Island blaring the Battlefield 1942 theme from your Willy’s onboard radio. Use the new flamethrower to clear defenders from the airfield during your Invasion of the Philippines. All this and more.
World War 2 Mod Features:
# Three Pacific Theatre maps: Iwo Jima, Wake Island and Invasion of the Philippines.
# Improved player customization using the Battlefield Vietnam-style kit, body and head selection interface.
# Flamethrower kits can be picked up by any soldier and used to wreak havoc on bunkers and exposed infantry.
# All Battlefield weapons and vehicles from the Pacific Theatre have been rebuilt to take advantage of the Battlefield Vietnam engine.
# New animations for all kit weapons, to bring them up to the standards set with the Vietnam-era weapons in BFV.
# Battlefield Vietnam gameplay tweaks: 3D Map, capture timer, and use of kit weapons from open positions. World War II Mod
Stay tuned to this web space over the next couple of days as we will have other updates pertaining to the release of this mod.
Tomorrow, that's Wednesday, we'll post some comparison screenshots to show off the mod.
We will be sure and get those comparison screenshots up tomorrow as soon as they are available. I for one can't wait to try out this mod. Stay tuned for the release of the Official WWII mod this coming Friday!"

Damn, it's really good. The terrain is much better, it looks and plays great.
The only thing I fear is the 3 maps will get tired. And even if community mods them over, EA will never put them on their servers.
There are a few messy details in the mod, but overall it is perfect, just how they said. It is BF42 improved.
