This has got to be one of the best wargames ever made. Excellent scenarios, lots of fun weapons and vehicles. The american Priest mobile artillery unit is my favourite among vehicles (and the speedy jeep), and the american Thomson machine pistol the coolest gun.

I didn't know you could long for war, but if you do - this is the game for you.

Yeah, this IS a good game... one of the few i bought after playing the demos. The multiplayer experience is worth paying for it (which is good, cause single player is a joke).

yeah that game is soo cool, but has anyone managed to have a go on the submarine yet ?

yes, there is Subs on the Midway map and one other, can't remeber which it was... they suck... i was sorely disappointed... there is no real functionality, such as nifty looking gauges and whatnot that i felt it should have...

they just weren't my cup of tea...

oh right, and they should at least have a MG in the nest, if not a small deck gun too... but they don't, and that miffed me...

you should checkout soem of the mods i've just had a look at they have star wars A wing fighters in and everything

I'm thinking of setting up a server, using the Dedicated Server pack from Icculus. It's still in beta, but it requires less CPU power than the Windows server to be usable. I have a spare P3-650/256MB box. Do you think that would be enough? The server wouldn't run much (if anything) else.

Oh, and would you be interested?

Yeah thats should be ok, i used to run it on my cel 1ghz server (currently runnign UT2003) but yeah you should be ok with that dude.

Playing online with the different mods is definitely where its at for this game. I'm in a gaming clan that is thinking of starting a BF1942 squad. I don't currently play BF much, but we have lots of guys who do. Our server is BD's FF Off Splash On

i wanna try it too but my computer is pretty shitty soi doub tit'l work so then i'll just wait ofr the next version of dod on hl to come out!


they are making one arent they?

...
...
wanna sell it?

Hasn't crashed for me once, running 1.2.

yeah this one is definitely a wins money on all counts...

there is also a really cool modern day mod called Desert Combat that I was checking out last night that is pretty cool. It has AH64 Gunships, F16s, M16s, modern tanks and other new toys...very well done for an early alpha
you can check screens for it here http://www.desertcombat.com/?page=press

what kind of joystick is needed or will the keyboard do ? I had this game & never even burned it damn

heh you should give it a try...

as for a joystick...I use the standard KB/mouse combo for everything but using a joystick for flying...or maybe even driving the tanks could be fun...

Knytelord

same as knyte, i use keyboard/mouse for everything but flying, and for flying i have an older microsoft sidewinder

I use keyboard and mouse, and can fly fairly well on keyboard now, but here that it is cooler with a proper joystick.

I use the keyboard and mouse too. I haven't tried the joystick yet but I should since I always crash the darn planes and get booed by my team mates.

Oh, and I can lower the ramp on the landing boats now too! Use the up arrow (or down arrow for raising it). Now they don't laugh at me for jumping around the boat until I get shot when trying to get onto the beach. LOL

L-ViS

ahahah so its your then, na its ok i've seen so many people do that (i end up having to take control of the craft and lowering it for myself
