I've never played DC but I take it the Iraqis lose most of the time?

So now that .5 is on my rig, the game crashes when trying to connect to a server. I can start my own local map and play fine though. Feck.

You should really try Desert Combat. Since I installed it a couple months ago, I havent touched BF1942. Both sides are pretty well balanced.

Oh and am helping to seed, you BitTorrent monkeys!

I disagree, BF1942 and mods are overly large and it takes a long time to get into combat making for longer more boring games.

I love BF1942 but haven't had time to play it lately. I downloaded an earlier DC but it kept crashing my system so I gave up.

I'll try this one this weekend.

Know issues with the Beta .5

Optimization
Since this mod is a work in progress, some optimizations have been made to the models for performance. You might experience a slight slowdown due to the fact that we haven?t done a full optimization pass yet.

Balancing
Currently the game feels balanced, but some things may destroy objects faster then they should, the game will continually balance out as the mod progresses. This goes for speed of vehicles, weapon damage and amount of ammo.

Airplane and Helicopters
Not all planes have a new cockpit yet, this is a work in progress.

Maps
Only maps that display a small DC logo in them have DC vehicles. This is only temporary until new maps are created. Some new DC maps do not support single player yet, coming soon.
Battle of Eastings, does support it though.

If you find any bugs, please send them to bugs@desertcombat.com

It takes about 5 seconds to fly across the map in an f-14, I seriously doubt your complaint applies to DC.
