Desert Combat is awesome, but....

...That bigass allied gunship (C130?) is unfair. It is way too badass.

is desert combat a mod, like DOD and CS for half life? or does it just change the skins around

 

[TheNemesis]

Most of the weapons are really badass

Yup

Except the guys who made it made their own tools to create their own material for the game. EA doesn't support the mod community worth a sh!t.

Now you know what it's like to fight an army that has 10x the technology you do

AC-130 Spectre Gunship is badass, virtual or otherwise!

Desert Combat is a MOD for Battlefield 1942

The C-130 in the game sucks...way too easy to shoot down.

I agree - nothing like hopping into an SU, getting right behind the AC-130, and opening up a can of whoopass - all the retards in there are like fish in a barrel. Once in a while, they'll have the brains to have closed the door, in which case you just keep shooting until the thing goes down (and as soon as it's going down, they can't get out, which means you get a kill for every last one ).

the game has needed guided missiles for a while. The stingers are a nice touch but they need more.

They really need to work out the balance issues too. I now the US is bad ass in real life but it doesn't make a good game if they're too bad ass for the iraqis.

I love taking it out with the Hind...I took one once with like 5 guys inside...watched the motors cut off and then parachutes start coming out the back. It ruled I just waited for them to hit the ground and dropped the hellfires

I like getting in a Mig or SU and shooting them while they are in the air. Its good practice.

Yes, of course. But you may not want to anymore.
