Re: Desert Conflict Mod Update

Afaik some of the former devs of DC/DCF (eg: AJ) are working on this plus some of the testers/fans.
Please do not slate their work if you are unable to do better yourself.
This is meant to be a news area, not flame pit.

hey.. don't even get me started on point of existence.. know what i'm saying...?

Re: Desert Conflict Mod Update

Well, Desert Combat, in my mind was more fun then what bf2 is now. Hey i love bf2, and play it much. But at the end of a few rounds in BF2, although fun, it doesnt give me that good feeling i had after playiing a few rounds of DC.
Desert Combat was FUN!
I think in the end, thats whats going to propel this mod to the top. And, by the same token, its what could propel it to the bottom of the barrel as well.
In the end, its not the pretty graphics and little play toys......as much as its about the fun factor.
Hell, guys, IF I COULD play DUKENUKEM 3D still today, ONLINE, with 30 other folks....thats where i would be right now. Playing It. And trust me, i loaded it up a few months ago. It looks like shi&, but......man its fun.

HUH? DP was telling people not to flame this thread, what does POE have to do with that?

Nice movie Desert Conflict team, looking good.

Re: Desert Conflict Mod Update

I dont like the idea of copying DC maps.

Re: Desert Conflict Mod Update

I wonder if there will be lag in the village in the top left corner in the first two versions of the map? Then it will be EXACTLY like DC! :laugh:

But it does look good!

Re: Desert Conflict Mod Update

As a mapper, to me that looks like they have ripped the heightmap from the DC mod and then textured it themselves and placed their own statics on it.

The only way to tell for sure is compare the minimaps from both versions, they posted the minimap, so get the minimap from Desert Combats 73 Eastings and see if more than 50% of those craters and roads are in the same place.

**EDIT**

Had a look at Desert Combat's 73 E` minimap, its not the same.

But I dont understand why you'd put effort into making a brand new heightmap and not put any imagination into it?

Re: Desert Conflict Mod Update

Ya'll are being stupid. Do you all get mad at every single omaha beach map that is released with every single WWII based mod or game in existance? No.....

Re: Desert Conflict Mod Update

First off, you cant keep playing the same old sH#! it gets boring. Those who can play something - a map I mean- for years or the old 24/7 style forever, you need help and are afraid of change. Bf2 is here to stay peeps, and along with all the goodness it brings comes also the bad. I personally see no fun in these tank maps. Sure they are fun for a while but the BF series is about everyone liking a part of the map. Thats why Bf is so popular to begin with.Thats why Wake was so popular. Everyone can enjoy it!
I really think that the mods that are trying to bring back something of old school will ultimately not have poplated servers. They need at least something fresh in them. This will not be DC folks! Don;'t kid yourselves. Long live it all!

Re: Desert Conflict Mod Update

I am glad the map is practically the exact same. Was one of my favorite tank maps.

No lag has been reported so far by any of the staff or the testers General.

Augustus.. the problem with it being basically the same as the original is, is that most of the people in our forums pretty much want what was originally DCOM

We try to take into considereation everyones opinions and the majority have said they want it to be like the old days. Of course later on down the line this may change and we may opt to make things different and mix it up. For certain new things will be tried as time advances and more releases are brought out. Hang in there guys.. were trying to give you fellas all what you want.

Re: Desert Conflict Mod Update

A lot of people havent played DC.... just because some did, doesnt mean they shouldnt do it.

Re: Desert Conflict Mod Update
