This mod is the precursor to Battlefield 2: pirates mod; both mods are played in multiplayer only during special yearly events.
To avoid missing out on these events, it is highly suggested to join the Hello Clan Discord (BF1942) & Lost-Soldiers Discord (BF2).
• Capture The Flag: players need to capture the opposing team’s flag as many times as possible, before the round timer ends. Flags are stolen by touching the enemy base flag pole and captured by returning that stolen flag to your own base flag pole - so long as your own flag has not been stolen too. Whilst you’re carrying the flag your position is shown on the minimap, so you’ll need to be quick and work as a team to defend the flag carrier.
If you’re killed and drop the flag, a teammate can pick it up and carry on, or the flag can be automatically returned to its flag pole by being rescued by the enemy. If after 30 seconds no one on either team has reached the dropped flag it will be returned to base. Enemy Vessel Boarding is also possible…

p.s. this is a modification of the base game, Battlefield 1942 (2002), which you still need in order to play. The game is abandonware at this point, so you can follow either this tutorial here (registration needed) or pick the "Standalone" installer from the Galactic Conquest team over here (GC is a Star Wars themed BF1942 mod, still active in development and that hosts several multiplayer events throughout the year, join their Discord to stay up to date!). The multiplayer is maintained by applying a master-server patch (download here), so do not hesitate to send me a PM if you face any difficulties, or to add a reply to this thread, I'll be happy to assist! Additional contacts available in my forum signature.
– during the installation wizard make sure to select the path where you have installed Battlefield 1942;
– at the end of the installation, a shortcut will be placed on your Desktop and it will launch the mod.
After that's done, you need to open the "Custom Filter" menu on the right (it's sort of a hidden drop-down menu), and select the Pirates mod: the selection will apply instantly and you should see the server. Otherwise you can join it directly by IP, by clicking on "Add Server" in the third row of buttons at the top of the menu, and filling the IP/port information that is usually provided along with the event announcements on Discord (server invites are at the top of this tutorial!).

you can only board three largest enemy ships: The Frigate, The Brig and The Cutter. To do so, just swim up to the correct part of the hull, you will see textures of ropes that you can climb on like a ladder; granted that will be a hard task if the ship is moving!
Also know that you can quickly evacuate all of these ships by running up the bowsprit (that would be the beam coming straight out the front of the boat for all you landlubbers). This allows an agile pirate a much faster way of getting ashore than simply jumping overboard and swimming unarmed. Everybody knows pirates hate to swim.
These beams are handy for boarding enemy vessels of all sizes, and the Frigate has additional means for boarding by getting out of the crows nest and running along a yard arm. You can parachute to an enemy vessel some 20m away or more from up there.
