Fun to drive the vehicles... stupid as hell to play.
If you aren't in a vehicle, you are dead in this game.

-We need to put some flak jackets on those infantry. They're just too fragile. Even if it's less realistic, it would be more fun if they were more like souped-up supasoldiers. I could play effectively as an infantry unit in BF1942 but not so in DC.
-I think it would work to add a fast run mode where you can't shoot ala Army Ops. Army Ops is a brilliant infantry game, and I believe it would be very worthwhile to take some pointers from it for DC (and BF1942).
-Might be nice to have players spawn in an area (like a barracks) where they're safe for 5 seconds or until they leave. In DC I find dying instantly on spawn happens too frequently with all the mortars and SCUDS.
-I should be possible to kill a guy with Anti-Aircraft fire. Afterall using AA against ground targets seems to be a favored Iraqi tactic. Actually, what happens to me is I can take the tank out with AA, but not the guy who jumps out of it. ?!?
-For personal reasons I want a mission where the objective is to take out that damnable Iraqi TV Station. (I've got a crisp new ten dollar bill waiting for the Special Ops guy who takes the real one out.)

Just upgraded my system, running a 9500 Pro and
at times it looks amazing at 100fps then I turn it hitches
for several seconds while looking in certain directions..
Ive upgraded the drivers, and then only mention Ive seen
for 9000 cards was one for the 9700 issue..
THis is the only game I really love right now, hopefully someone out there has
some ideas ? :)

Because dear god, with some of these maps in Desert Combat, you need to learn
Ok, pull up the bf1942 console of love by pressing the tilde key, it'll look like ` or ¬ or something similar.
Now, there backspace away anything else in the command line and type in "LM" for a list of the maps and thier numbers... To vote for a map press vm # (where # is, put the number of the map you want) huzzah! Don't suffer Battle of 73 Easting needlessly

/!\_]}r ALERT /!\_]}r ATTN /!\_]}r HEY YOU!
BF1942.EOF.NET is down right now and needs a reboot, but I know people will want to try out the new DC .3 release (if you haven't already), so I put up Desert Combat .3 on ARMY.CORE.COM. Everything is the same including the password. Someone please remind everyone of this tomorrow/this morning.
So DC.3 = ARMY.CORE.COM pw = cowbell for now
AA will return when BF1942.EOF.NET comes up.
If anyone needs a mirror for the full release:
