BattleField 1942 mod | Released Dec 12, 2005

Quick Facts Product name: The Sharpest Point Latest version: 0.10b Product type: Modification Modification base: Battlefield 1942 Product theme: FPS / WW2 / Realism What is "The Sharpest Point"? The Sharpest Point, short TSP, is a WW2 modification for Battlefield 1942. TSP intends to make the game experience as realistic as possible. This modification is free to download and use, but still it demands a version of Battlefield 1942 in order to run! General idea of TSP The general idea of TSP is to create a FPS-modification, very realistic, but in the same time not too big and time-demaning. TSP is thought to be more in for action than for strategy - you should be able to just spend some short time gaming, not being bound to it! The vision is to make TSP a WW2 combat simulator. The TSP products are made out of assembled material, coming from many different sources and individuals. TSP always welcomes donations! Even though the products are free to download, all the material inside...

The history of TSP mod

I can announce that TSP today has its first anniversary!

The history started long ago... First, this project was to be based as an addon mod on XWWII, but as some of the devs didn't appreciate it very much, it later proved that this would be an addon mod for Forgotten Hope instead...

And so it was that the idea of the "Real-Feel" modification was born. My friend since some earlier projects - Mackan - chose to help me with the project from the first day. Some work was done for an FH-addon mod during last summer and the first mod-specific things were now produced - our 2D iron sights...

Later on Howland and FlameQuake joined, and we worked hard on the autumn. Still, after lots of discussions, I chose to let us go independent with a standalone mod. And so it was - we became the standalone mod now known as "The Sharpest Point".

Even though a year has passed, not much has been done, especially as we came in late, and didn't plan to make a standalone mod in the first place. Also, with BF2 around the corner, it's hard to get a good spot on the dev scene. Anyway, these last weeks have shown that we've got great potential and the progress is going forward!

With these words I would like to (again!) thank my wonderful co-workers! You all do a great job and I can see we've got potential! Keep up the good work and walk in peace!
