Hi guys,

Anyone play this? Played it yesterday and.. really good. Loved it.

It's all the best bits of the old Desert Combat, including the maps, blended with the best bits of BF2. Better than BF2 Vanilla.

But nobody seems to play it :(
 
Yeah i played it on launch day as 1942 and desert combat are my favourite games of all time.

With all the games coming out and building my new website i have forgotten all about it but even in the early days, sadly there was still not a lot of populated servers.
 
It's no Project Reality, still a bit too Vanilla for me.

PR is where it's at tbh - get on the .:iGi:. servers and you're in for a good bit of squad based gaming. :)
 
no DC isnt ranked

and unfortunately the team were too late to the part, the BF2 ship has sailed. dont get me wrong, theres plenty of players on it, but not enough to make decent mod communities.

no details of BF 3 yet. Which shouldnt be long if previous DICE patterns are repeated. Its allways been .. new game .. re-hash of new game with different setting .. new game

eg BF1942 came, then came BF vietnam with the BF '42 enginge. Shortly after came BF2 then after that came BF2142, again using the BF2 engine. So BF 3 should be next

not even any press releases yet though. suspect we'll see it summer next year.
 
I tried this as soon as it was released. I didn't think it's as good as it was on BF1942, can't quite put my finger on why it's so utterly arse. I think it's something to do with the flight models for the aircraft....just seems really, really. s.......not very good at all.
 
Just gave DC a crack, it's okay.. nothing awesome don't think I will play it again

Loved the theme tune though :)
 
I can only hope that Battlefield: Bad Company will be a console-only version and that they will keep to having the number-only version for the PC, i.e. Battlefield 2, Battlefield 2142, Battlefield 3 for PC; but Battlefield Modern Combat and Battlefield Bad Company (both with titles rather than numbers) for console. If the next BF for the PC was to be a port it will never be right; in many people's views it took a few patches for BF2 to get properly sorted and it was made ground-up for the PC:o
