Desert Combat 0.3 Joys

Anyone else tried out the latest version of DC? They've changed quite a lot about the classes, it's a lot more fun now compared to the already enjoyable predecessors. The game itself now offers far more variety than the original BF1942. The mortars are a nice addition, although often resulting in spawn place campers. It's amazing how much work these guys put into this mod so far.

Ahh.. we had a nice LAN game of DC last thursday .

First time I had played it, but had heard from a buddy that it was good fun.

Well, I thought it was great, they''ve done a great job thus far, and look forward to all the improvements that are bound to come in future builds.

Suicide bomber is funny too

Only complaint so far, is the lack of custom DC maps that come with their release. Other than that, it''s all good !

Another good release but frame rates seem to have taken a nasty hit in this release (course maybe it''s just the new nivida drivers that I need to tweak with). I dig some of the new class changes, sniper still needs love IMO, new special ops kicks ass.

I keep meaning to give this a try!

I''ve got it installed but I haven''t given it a shot yet. It looks like we may have to make a night of it soon!

I''m in!

The support persons mortar is great. You put it out and then use it like an emplaced gun. Its wonderful...

Yeah, the mortar is great, and what makes it better is that it also can be used by other people. So one actually feels like providing support under certain circumstances ( = the rare moments when I''m not the one to use it myself. ) It''s funny and impressive to see when a group creates a whole mortar phalanx and does some carpet bombing. The Harrier is a welcome addition as well.

Haven''t noticed a notable performance on my system, which sure cannot be considered as a fast PC these days, but then again maybe I''m more tolerant about frame rate issues.

Just a bad combination of having some driver tweaks on a nad a laggy server, seems fine now.
