Connection to Battlefield 1942
Codename Eagle had several features which would later become well-known and popular hallmarks of Battlefield 1942. This included the free use of vehicles, ranging from small jeeps to tanks to large zepplin airships, in the multiplayer, as well as fairly large and open maps for its time. The developer of Codename Eagle, the Sweden-based Refraction Studios, would later merge with another Sweden-based studio, Digital Illusions CE in 2000 shortly after the release of Codename Eagle. Even before the merger, DICE was already busy drawing up the sketch for the new game, learning from the experience of the development of Codename: Eagle. The Refractor Engine, a production of Refraction Studios, was improved to provide the basis of Battlefield: 1942, released in September 2002.
