It doesn't seem to add any new single player maps. It's an effects mod with information and download here.

This appears to not be set up like mods are supposed to have been for the BF1942 game. It also replaces quite a few files of your default install of BF1942 and that is certainly unacceptable. Also I am concerned that a program within the download knows your BF1942 Cd-Key. The "config.exe" is very worrisome. I am suprised that this mod, although the videos and images that are shown as amazing to see only the least, is allowed on ModDb for what comes with the download. This error needs to be fixed. Alarm bells should ring witht he Activation of the mod tells you to turn off your firewall (which you should never do, that has nothing to do with gaming and everything to do with making your personal and windows files vulnerable) to play the mod.

This was the reply I got from the mod distributor. 
So they have this as their instructions in how to activate the mod and one of their bugs.
Very worrisome indeed.

Thanks for your comment first. I know this mod is different from traditional mod of bf1942,because of its mod-active mechanism.that is only for copyright protection,and is free for the first users.
Some files of bf1942 are replaced ,but that is for repairing them,not change them. Because we must ensure those files are the default install of BF1942, otherwise some problems maybe arise with the mod.
The "config.exe" is only a quick config program and that is useful for users who is not use
English. The installation information of BF1942 was stored in system registry,include language and cdkey,
,if you lose them when you reshipment system,the "config.exe"can help you repair them quickly.
Turning off your firewall is not necessary for the default firewall of winxp.but we hnow some other firewalls maybe prevent new programs from connecting to internent,and no prominent warnings for a newbie,so this is a well-meant remind,and if necessary you only need to turn off this kind of firewall when you activate the mod,not all the time you paly the mod.

I think I'll try it with a *cough*torrented*cough* version of Battlefield 1942 in a virtual machine and see what happens.
I wouldn't touch this mod with my foot, let alone install it. Looks like a computer hacking monster. 
Amen to that!
