Desert combat (battlefield1942) mod

[Jimmy White]

I am wanting to get the above but it seems that i have to PAY subscription to web sites to download the mod does anyone know where i can dl the latest desert combat 0.5? for free?

[Propain]

just get it at www.fileplanet.com the subscription is free all ya have to give is your email addy. ya wait in line for 30 to 60 minutes but big deal its free and when your turn comes around you get good speed. I get my downloads real earlie on saturday or sunday mornings Eastern time when California is still asleep.

[gameguy747]

just go to www.desertcombat.com u can download the mod and the patch right from the creators.. probably the best site to get any desert combat software

[Kov-Ice]

How big is the download? Does it just add several more maps to battle within?

[Propain]

The file is aboot 540 mb and if you goto www.desertcombat.com(you cant get it from them direct) theyll link you up to fileplanet.com or a few popcorn sites to download the MOd.

[Kov-Ice]

Well, at 540mb, that would put my 28.8 dial up connection to work for... lemme figure here... about 2 1/4 days. Looks like I'll be getting that from a DSL buddy, eh?

Ok i have DL the Mod and have played it for about 5 mins online but there seemed to be some graphic glitches and there was MAJOR lag and it made it imposible to play!

if you're using an nvidia video card, there are issues with DC and the lastest nvidia drivers. i had problems with it when i was using an nvidia card. trying rolling back to earlier drivers and it should work fine.

u wanna get the patch.. it has some cool weapons, vehicles, and maps.. also there more servers u can play on

[ATW]

It's not worth it...unless you work with utmost precision in the sky. Those that do rule the servers, and those on the ground beg for mercy. I regularly finished with 3x as many deaths as kills, went back to BF and the results swapped.

[coolcps]

I prefer regualar BF alot more also ATW, same situation with me. I think that most of the aircraft in DC are pretty cheap, plus BF has a lot more polished feel.

[Jimmy White]

Ok iv played DC quite alot now and i feel the smae the planes and helicopters are extremely hard to fly and the people who can pilot them are pro's
But its fun to play with the different weapons and stuff and attempt to fly the helicopter but kill everyone inside

[ATW]

I can fly the helis...or at least I think I can. But I can't hit anything, so I'm essentially just a flying target.

[coolcps]

I can rain hell with the copters sometimes, but other times i end up spinning out of control and just bail.

nahh, i don't think so. 2 stingers will easily take out any plane or chopper. all vehicles in dc have their advantages and disadvantages. you just really have to put a lot of time into practicing with all the vehicles. once you learn how to manuever them all properly, then this game becomes really fun.

It's usually when I try to make a quick turnaround and/or nose down to shoot at something that I lose it and put the parachute to work. Haven't quite figured out the hovering and landing end of it yet.

[Propain]

Practice with the troop transport , its alot easier to navigate. Keep note that the chopper is more or less used just to get kills , if ya wanna help your teammates out then bolt around on a Hummvee or a tank to get the flag. What I also like to do is at the start is get on a jet , fly to the flag ,eject and claim it. Thats alot more valuable to your team then killing 50 enemis.

well, seeing as how there's quite a few of us that play here maybe we should all get together on a server and play sometime.

anyone up for that?

[coolcps]

Sure, i have played with propain a few times before. I need the update though, and when will .6 be out?

[spyder003]

it should be out before christmas (hopefully), that would be an awesome present from the devs

anyone wanna play this weekend?

[Propain]

Im good for sunday all day (working saturday eh) Last time I hosted with coolcps and Dave37644 I went a bit too far and they were lagging. I put 32 AI against us . But if you or annyone else wanst to host with no AI , it shoudnt give me any probs. Or we could just sneak in an empty Gamespy server.

[spyder003]

i usually play on a server called "phule's company". it's a good 14 player server with good rules (no camping until all flags are capped etc) and low ping. i'll get on there around 10am cst sunday if anyone wants to join.

if anyone knows any other good public servers we could play on that would work also.

[Jimmy White]

dont you just hate people who take over ships and drive them around?
i was playing on omaha beach nd someone decided to take the ship around.. we had no artillary support on the beach and he grounded it on the other side of the map!!! lol

[Jimmy White]

someone make a server called Pcmech and post a password on these boards

I've done that to opposing teams, and then you just sit there with a tank, and fire away. To do it to your own team is extremely stupid. Maybe they were tired of taking a boat to shore when they respawned.

I am done for that, but I am still a "noob" though I am still trying to get the hang of the game.
