Sweet!


HOO-AH!

 

[Mutilator]

The only thing that disappoints me about the DC team is their lack of mirrors when they release new versions. :disgust:
*Patiently waits in line @ FilePlanet*

You are not kidding! PITA to find a decent one then usually have to wait in a long.... long... line.

Edit: fileplanet trying to get exclusive download rights is GAY. fileplanet has made my top 3 list of companies that need to die now

 

[Mutilator]

This sucks... I got home and started the download from fileplanet... it said 13 min wait time. I had to go pick my dog up from the vet 30 mins later and it said 8 min wait time. It's now been over 1.5 hours and I currently have a 8 minute wait time. 239/1789.
It's gotta be the slow 56K guys holding up the line.

 

[Schadenfroh]

FILEPLANET WILL NEVER GET A CENT OUT OF ME!!!!!

Thaiguy worked for me.... NOW I DON'T HAVE TO WAIT IN LINE!

Thank you!

 

[Schadenfroh]

getting 160k on this one, no wait, for me at least

 

[Lyfer]

I got 137k off fileplanet after a good 1hr wait. This game is awesome and worth the wait!

 

[microAmp]

I'm glad they fixed the Bradleys TOW power, 2 hits on a tank and it's gone! 1 hit on the Iraq's SPA.

 

[flxnimprtmscl]

I just downloaded .35 two days ago....on 56k..... *sigh*

 

[Vonkhan]

if any 56k-ers, I can burn it onto a CD & mail it out to u ... for the cost of mailing & the CD-R

 

[Schadenfroh]

i hate this versions radio communication

 

[AgentUnknown]

If u are on 56K, there's no way you are gonna play this game online. But single player is fun.

 

[rainypickles]

im on 56k. i played version .35 online just fine. just stayed in servers under 24.

lucky ive got a friend who has a laptop and is willing to dl stuff for me. =)

 

[amdskip]

I'm having lots of problems downloading this. I can get to about 6% on a number of different servers available and the download just kinda stops. I've used different computers but they are all on medicom cable internet.

Red Dog, Red Dog, Woof Woof Woof!

I kinda like the warning alert when your plane/heli is about to blow up.
Ehh Ehh Warning Warning
Sure would be annoying if I had to fly all the way back to base & repair though. I'd bail out just to shut it up.

Mirrored it of PCPC.net. Just for my Anandtech Buddies!

Desert Combat New Patch

 

[amdskip]

Man, I can get about 25-30 mbs downloaded and then it just stops no matter what server. Piece of junk medicom cable!

 

[Karsten]

Really? Even from my server?! That has to be one of the most underutilized server out there.
If you can't get it from there you can't get it.
