Here is a little background on the mod if you haven't heard of it. Siege: Medieval Warfare is a medieval combat modification for the computer game Battlefield 1942. It is set during the 100 Years War between the Kingdoms of France and England. Fight as a common soldier on open fields or assault a castle using a large array of medieval weaponry and vehicles.
Siege: Medieval Warfare aims to bring an entire new experience to the somewhat out-dated Battlefield 1942. This mod will bring both medieval realism and exciting game-play while keeping a balance between the two.
The Hundred Years War was one of the most important and defining wars of the Middle Ages in Western Europe. In 1337, Edward III, the King of England, laid claim to France. The French royal House of Valois also claimed the throne of France, beginning one of the longest conflicts in human history. For the first part of the war, England, although outnumbered by the French, won many decisive victories. During the latter part of the war, France won some key battles, eventually leading the end of the conflict. The war lasted until 1453 when the French were finally completely victorious.
The 100 Years War brought original military tactics and introduced new weapons, changing the way wars were fought. English longbowmen were faced against heavily armoured French knights while castles were destroyed by an array of revolutionary gun powder-using artillery.
In 2004 the last version of the original Siege mod was released, although still in an incomplete stage. A group of new developers started an expansion of this mod in 2006, calling it Siege: Medieval Warfare. The goal of Siege: MW was to bring new weapons, vehicles, buildings, maps, and more to the game; a complete revitalization of the original Siege mod. Unfortunately, this mod died without a release. Recently, a few of the former developers started working on the mod once again. We are now well on our way to a release.

Hello Battlefield mod players! We have a large Siege: Medieval Warfare mod update for you.
What is Siege: Medieval Warfare? Siege: MW is a total conversion for Battlefield 1942. As the name suggests, it is based around medieval fighting, specifically the Hundred Years War. The Hundred Years War was a series of conflicts between Kingdoms of England and France and lasted from 1337(that's right) to 1453. Siege: MW will bring you the experience of being a medieval solder fighting in this war. You will be able to fight on open fields or assault a castle with a large arsenal of siege weapons.
Back in 2004, a mod named Siege came out. It was somewhat incomplete and lacked much content or visual appeal. Siege: MW is a continuation of this mod, and it hopes to bring many new features and attractiveness. It will bring a balance between fun and historical realism. There will be historically accurate maps, weapons, and vehicles, yet the fighting will be made with the fun-factor in mind.
We, since a few months ago, have acquired a website and forum. Thanks to Troy for coding and hosting these. Be sure to visit www.siegemw.com!
We have made record progress in the past few months, and are well on our way to having a release. We do not know exactly when we will expect to have the first release, but this summer is a possibility.
Our development team has a few new members. Erwin Rommel is our talented coder and mapper. Darkstef will be making us some sexy maps.
That being said, we are still looking for additional team members. Sound artists, player model and weapon animators, French and English voice actors, coders, and skinners/unwrappers will all be of great use to the team.
Modelers and mappers, however, are not needed right now. Please visit the forums and post in the "Join the Team" section if you wish to help out.
And now on the the interesting part: the pictures.
Unlike many other mods, Siege: MW will have completelty new medieval-style buildings. You will no longer see World War Two structures in an unfitting environment.
Note that not everything is final, so it is likely that some of these are to change before being included in the release.
Here are some renders of our recently-made objects (click for a larger view).
Next we have some in-game shots.
