WHY THIS TOPIC ?
Because of popular demand, and mainly because I'd always wanted to have my own listed BF1942 server, I've decided to bring-to-life a 24/7 BATTLEFIELD PIRATES server:

I could go on forever why you, at least, should just give this mod a chance and try it out.
But I'm not going to do that.

Instead, I will quote what the Original Developers of the BATTLEFIELD PIRATES series have written:
I have got this info from their "BfPedia", a sort of WIKI containing a lot of information about Sailing and Marine Vessels, Classes, Weapons and last but not least: Maps.From BfPedia, May 10th 2012:
Battlefield Pirates is a full conversion mod of Battlefield 1942. The mod was first released in the summer of 2003, initially a solo project from creator Guy Smiley (Laurence Brown). BFP v1.0 was released on August 23rd, 2005, marking the final release of Battlefield Pirates for Battlefield 1942.
The mod featured two playable pirate crews, the red pirates versus the blue pirates. This evolved to become the undead Skull Clan against the human Peglegs in version .3 and beyond. This version also introduced numerous new weapons to the game such as throwing knives and the musketoon.
Battlefield Pirates features a unique combat system that balances ranged musket fire with swordplay. Flintlock weaponry demands long reload times, forcing skilled pirates to hone their skills with a sword to stay alive. This game was cherished by skilled players for it's fluid gameplay and balanced weapons.
The game also featured an armada of fully operational ships ranging from small dinghy rowboats to massive galleons. Players could raise and lower rows of cannons, board and steal enemy vessels and even pilot hot air balloons.
Brace yourself for a fun-filled adventure on the high seas!
Unfortunately, the link to BfPedia appears to be dead. Or, to stay on-topic, Dead in the water. LOL

So once again, it's 'Internet Archive' to the rescue !
Click here for a 2012-snapshot of the BfPedia (some links are still dead)
So, by now I should have gotten you all-warmed-up and ready to have a go at BATTLEFIELD PIRATES.
If not, have a look at this cute kitty-cat: clicky
or (if you are into the 'costume thing') this slightly more spicy cute kitty-cat: clicky

well, i haven't really got an answer what you SHOULD do If still not.. just read the entire post again.
Did you miss anything ?? I mean, take it from me, this MOD is fun !
Have a try, you won't be disappointed.

The MOD might not have as much active players as it used to have, but if I can share my enthusiasm with all of you, then maybe we can 'turn the tide' and the shores of BF1942 will once again be the scene of endless pillage !
Geez, I'm full of good metaphors today
