First we have the Glock 17 pistol, modelled by SiR R.i.P.P.E.R. It will be used by French commandos in the mod.

Then we have the Springfield M21 sniper rifle, modelled by Sarge. This will be used by US and Israeli special forces snipers.

And last of all there is the RPG-7, modelled and skinned by Megaraptor. The RPG is used by the armies of many countries, as well as many insurgent groups and terrorist organizations.

We are working on getting this stuff ingame, and on making some maps. But, we could really use some help, especially in the coding department. If you have any coding skills in Source, and would like to help the mod, please send us an email using the "Contact Us" function on the front page of our Website, or post a message on our Forums.

As a mod team, we have been together since 2003 and have released several versions for Battlefield: 1942. Since then, with the decline of Bf1942 and the rise of Battlefield 2, we have decided to move to Source.

Our first release is still taking shape, but we are likely to rebuild quite a few of our 17 original maps into Source. Multiplayer gameplay is our first priority, although we may add singleplayer maps or a campaign at a later date. True to our Battlefield roots, gameplay will be respawn based. We plan to implement a control point system similar to Red Orchestra, where you must hold specific strategic areas of a map instead of merely capturing a flagpole. We are looking to not only create a realistic style of gameplay, but an authentic "feel" to our mod, through realistic weapons and historically accurate maps, units and equipment. Weapons will have a load of fully functional accessories, including working ironsights, scopes, Laser Aiming Modules, bipods, fire selectors and flashlights. Maps will be as historically accurate as possible, utilizing maps, satellite imagery and photographs of the area. We aim for not just realism, but immersion in the world of Special Operations forces.

We also are currently in need of some help. We are especially looking for weapons and static modellers, skinners, coders and character modellers/animators. Prior experience with the Source engine is a plus but is not required. To apply please post a message with a sample of your work on our forums at http://www.wdwmod.com/

Below, you can see some of the models we have already made, such as the FAMAS G2 assault rifle (used by French commandos), our Uzi submachine gun (used by Israeli special forces in the 1970's and 80's), RPG-7 antitank rocket, LAV-150 armored personnel carrier (used by the Panamanian Defense Force for maps set in Panama in 1989), and our M60 machine guns (used by US Army Rangers in the 1980s and early 90's, as well as by the PDF).

We settled on the Source engine used in Half-Life 2, which gives us amazing graphics and physics systems to work with, as well as a great community and mod support from Valve that is second to none. The possibilities for the next version of WDW are huge, and we hope those of you who own Half-Life 2 will consider downloading WDW: Source.

After three years of fantastic hosting from our friends at FileFront and bf1942files.com, the team has decided to go it alone with a shiny new domain: wdwmod.com, so set up your bookmarks now!
