Desert Conflict v0.1 Client Released

Re: Desert Conflict v0.1 Client Released

Anyone have any decent in-game footage yet? All I've seen are promo videos.. I want to see some actual pubbing online play.

I would look myself but, at the moment, my system can't even hardly handle BF:V.

Its not pub but will give a good impression

Re: Desert Conflict v0.1 Client Released

This:

You loved Desert Combat and longed for it to return within BF2. Done.
You wanted skill to be a factor in BF2. Done.
You wanted dumbfire missles for aircraft, handheld aa & ground based aa. Done.
You wanted familiar vehicles. Done (and still adding more)
You wanted Capture The Flag. Done
You wanted the classic maps. Done
You wanted Artillery brought back to the player. Done.

Should have been changed to this:

You wanted left clicking speed to be a factor in BF2. Done.

You wanted dumbfire missles for handheld AA, but with a 50 mile explosion radius and spammable to the point where you still only have to point it in the general direction. Done

You wanted the exact same vehicles with a few reskins. Done.

You didn't want to stop nade spamming and C4 jihading, don't worry - you still can!

All this in just 2 short years of development. Amazing!!

I cant find your recruitment sign up on our forum.... why is that?

We REALLY need you man!!!!

Re: Desert Conflict v0.1 Client Released

By any chance do you mod? Sometimes having the editor installed can cause that from what I've seen.

No but I test :p I realized wat it was. I had replaced some statics objects_client with some textures and forgot to change back to the normal ones.

At any rate, my "Verifying Client Data" still takes like 10 minutes, maybe more.

Re: Desert Conflict v0.1 Client Released

..........I looked for a DOMINATION only server, but couldnt find a single one!!!
?????????????????????????????????????????????????? ?????????????????

It's like EXTRACTION for PR...one of the best game modes ever, but for some strange reason, not many people play it.

I have ALWAYS wanted a elimination style play mode for BF2.





~Q~

by default the server filter only shows conquest game mode - change it to "all"

hopefully this will be addressed in the next patch.

oh, thank you Troybob. I was looking for a server earlier to pub on, all I saw was conquest. I'll check it out

Edit: Ok, I looked into it, where do you see an "all" option? The only thing I have checked is Same mod.

Re: Desert Conflict v0.1 Client Released

Initial impressions:

First game El Al CTF

Took a year and a day to verify client - took an age to join game - lagged like fook then crashed!!!!!!!

Seriouslly not chuffed - checked task manager and peaked at a load of memory usage - was like, ho hum....

But thank goodness I retried it with different maps

Gazala and inshinan(sp) ran excellent and had some good games - rather quite enjoyed it

Looking not too bad DCon, but theres something well wrong with El Al.

PS ATi 800 pro user, but reckon it looks memory related and maybe vid card.

Re: Desert Conflict v0.1 Client Released

my experience with the ac-130m has bot been enjoyable even with a great pilot its impossible to stay alive for 5 minutes if the enemy has even novice jet pilots.

It must be the vid card cause I have the X800 PRO too, and on this one desert map it's literally unplayable.. like 10 FPS.. every other map is fine.. it's not gazala or el alamein.. those are both fine.. it's some other one.

There is a lag issue with the Factory and Hangar buildings on Desert Shield and sometimes El Al.

Some people will get horrible lag, a little lag or no lag at all. The devs are aware of the issue now, and are working to release a patch, but it will be a few weeks, as they have to lightmap those maps again to replace the buildings.

After a year and a half I expected more. Its really just new maps. Weapons havn't really changed and too many of the same vehicles. I will play it some more, but it isn't as good as people made it seem.

Ok, now I know you are smarter than that. A great deal of the vehicles that were in BF2, are basically the same vehicles used by the Coalition and Iraqi in Desert Storm (from which DC and DCon are based).

There are very few vehicles and weapons that are used in BF2 (and DCon) that were not in use in Desert Storm. No sense creating a lesser quality vehicle when EA already made a pretty good model. Just tweak it a bit and go with it.

@PvtShifty18:

I liked DC for BF1942 much more than the new one... the planes were unbelievable nice, u needed skill to win a dogfight... no newb**** heatseeking-rockets (I don't know if it's the right vocabular, but u shall known what I mean ) and balanced damage...

The stupid thing is, that u get hit by the rockets in DCon too easy... that's my opinion :S

nevertheless, the mod is very amazing!

as in DC, AA is now controlled by the players, instead of activated by the players and then does whatever the hell it wants.

That means, you have to adapt, as they will own you.

HAHAHAHA!!! I had a post ready for that one but figured it would be best left unsaid.....nice!!!!


Cheers on the mod guys, I played for a few hrs and as a vet of DCombat from the early days I am truly impressed. It's exactly what I had hoped!!!! I love it and can't wait to be a devoted follower of what will come to be as time goes one. Seriously, all modders deserve some major credit to create the things they do and what the DCon team has created is top notch and I love it.

I'm a happy gamer!

Serious thanks again! Cheers!

Re: Desert Conflict v0.1 Client Released

People confuse the hell out of me - USI which has been out for months has completely custom made vehicles, better looking and original maps and more intense gameplay and gunplay in an arcade run and gun style (no offence intended to the DCOn Devs - just an honest observation). Yet people fawn over DCon like it was the second coming. Poor USI.

Me I'll stick to the Reality Mod - I prefer a game of skill over chance

Re: Desert Conflict v0.1 Client Released

Had a blast on the -0.1 alpha- lost village map - server was full - It was brilliant.
