Battlefield Pirates Original

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!
