From the official Battlefield 1942 site:

All Battlefield Soldiers, Sailors and Airmen

Axis forces have unleashed their most deadly attack yet. Previously unknown weapons have been reported appearing in and above the battlefields of WW2. Take hope, the Allies have not been idle. They have responded with their own SECRET WEAPONS of World War II. Fierce battles are now being waged by these elite forces and secret weapons. If you have what it takes...if you can stand the intense action...if you can handle these NEW weapons of war...then get your copy and get in the fight!

Battlefield 1942: Secret Weapons of WWII is now available in stores near you...

....and now for news from the Home Front:

Mod Development Toolkit
We're excited to announce the development of a new toolkit for the Battlefield 1942 mod community - a Mod Development Toolkit. We will be releasing an Open Beta version of the MDT in the near future. Please watch this space for more details.

CD-Swapping in 1.45
We are looking at a fix for this. The issue isn't just that the Battlefield SafeDisk check has to work with Road to Rome and Secret Weapons, but we have to ensure that it works with mods as well. This has required a lengthier development time. However, we are dedicated to getting a fix in place ASAP. Please stay tuned for updates.

Virtual Drives
Is Secret Weapons not working on your machine? Do you have a virtual CD-drive installed. To fix, uninstall both Secret Weapons and the virtual drive. Reinstall Secret Weapons using your standard CD/DVD-drive. That should fix the issue. Get out there and kick SW-butt.

CDKey Misprint
Some copies of Secret Weapons had a misprinted CDKey on the actual CD-case. This results in the lower part of a letter being cut-off. The only letter this affects is the letter Q which appears like an O. If you have trouble installing Secret Weapons, check to see if you have the letter O in your CDkey. If so, try substituting Q for it. If the problem persists, please contact our Tech Support and they will be able to help sort out the issue.
