Eve of Destruction: Classic is a free modification of the popular Battlefield 1942 game by DICE/EA, based on the Vietnam war. No other military conflict is comparable to those dramatic years of the 20th century. Most rumors spread about the Indochina and Vietnam War are not honest, even though it was the best documented war in history. No other military conflict was ever so controversial, pointing to an unloved fact: our enemy was not the only source of evil, the evil could be found within ourselves. The "Eve Of Destruction" mod is a tribute to the U.S., ARVN and Vietcong/NVA soldiers who fought and died in Vietnam, and also to the Vietnamese people.
A massive overhaul mod set during the Vietnam War. See full details, as their is too much info to sum up here. Please note that this mod is split into 3 parts.

NEW CODE
Netcode has been revised and debugged.
A lot of vehcles had code issues and caused crashes.
This should be a thing of the past now.
NEW AI_CODE
Most of the vehicles have new AI code and AI bugs have been removed.
The AI now uses everything: all vehicles and all weapons.
NEW SOUNDS
Sounds have been revised too so the mod works with 11, 22 and 44 khz now.
New jungle-sounds will improve the ambience and most of the vehicles have
got new soundeffects.
NEW EFFECTS
New detonation effects, tracers and many other awesome stuff have been added.
NEW VEHICLES
There are no really new vehicles within the mod but we have added lots of vehicles
to COOP wich have been released in CONQ mode only in the past.
NEW VEGETATION+BUILDINGS
New vegetation and buildings have been added with permission of FH Tournament-mod.
LINUX SERVER LAN+INTERNET
Is working fine. We have tested about a week without any crash.
WINDOWS SERVER LAN+INTERNET
LAN is working fine. All maps have been tested without crashes.
Internet server unknown. No hardware to test but it should work well.
CAMPAIGN
All maps have been added to campaign mode.
Most of the maps are without briefing/debriefing but with a
self-explaining minimap.
CAPTURE THE FLAG
All maps (where it makes sense) have CTF mode now.
This is about 90% of the maps.
TDM
All maps have TDM mode now.
NEW MAPS
4 new maps and many many overworked maps with improvements.
Nearly EVERY map has been touched and revised !
New maps:
Agent Orange
Battle at Quang Tri
Easter Offensive
Pho Nung

KNOWN ISSUES
Some vehicles with 3 (or more) weapons have a heatbar wich is not working.
This seems to be an bf1942 engine issue cause we've found no way to
repair it.
Some maps with large buildings will cause lag in COOP mode with many bots.
This may happen especially in Easter Offensive and in Tet Offensive sometimes.
