FragField 0.2 (Installer) file

****************************
FRAGFIELD VERSION 0.2 README
****************************

Fragfield is a modification for Battlefield 1942 that aims for a deathmatch/run-and-gun gameplay style. Killing the enemy is often the sole objective of the game, although some maps pit the teams against each other in the struggle for a single control point on the map. Version 0.2 brings many new additions and changes to the table in an attempt to expand the experience even further and provide some of the most hectic infantry combat.

****************************
REQUIREMENTS
****************************

Fragfield requires a copy of Battlefield 1942 with the 1.6 (or higher) patch. Any attempt to play with an older version will most likely result in game crashes. You can obtain the full 1.6 patch for Battlefield 1942 here: Battlefield2.gamefront.com

****************************
INSTALLING / UNINSTALLING
****************************

If you have the installer version, simply run the .exe to begin installation. The program will ask you for your BF1942 directory. This is where you installed Battlefield 1942, and is generally C: -> Program Files -> EA Games -> Battlefield 1942.

To remove, you can either run the uninstaller from the start menu (if you opted to install the shortcut), run the 'uninstall Fragfield.exe' located in your Battlefield 1942 directory, or manually delete the mod folder (described below)

For the non-installer version, go to the Battlefield 1942 install directory (example given above), then into the 'Mods' subfolder. Copy the 'Fragfield' folder from the .zip file you downloaded into the 'Mods' directory, and it should appear in the mod listing next time you start the game.

To delete the mod using the non-installer version, go back the 'Mods' directory in your Battlefield 1942 directory and delete the 'Fragfield' folder.
