Modder ‘ScureHD’ has released a brand new version of the Graphics Overhaul Remaster Mod for Battlefield 1942. This new version is around 11GB in size, and will significantly improve the graphics of this classic BF game.

Going into more details, this graphics overhaul mod contains texture updates (including terrain, skybox, environment, vegetation, vehicle and weapon textures) up to 4096×4096 resolution. There are also other tweaks like increased in-engine specular lights and environmental reflections. Not only that, but the mod increases the game’s render distance and LOD quality.

What’s also important to note is that the mod does not use any AI techniques for its higher-quality textures. Instead, the modder reworked by hand all of the textures.

Those interested can download the mod from here. Below you can find a comparison video and some comparison screenshots, as well as the key features of this mod.
