Desert Conflict for BF2

[Snazz]

A team of skilled and generous Desert Combat fans have spent the last 2 years creating their own DC tribute mod for BF2 called Desert Conflict (DCon in short).

DCon combines some of the classic maps and content of 1942 and DC with DCon's own new content and the good features of the BF2 engine (squad play etc) whilst removing as much of BF2's bad features as possible.

This mod is only in Alpha stage right now but is already far more impressive then Desert Combat's initial releases.

Classic yet revised:
- Maps: El Alamein, Gazala, Desert Sheild, 73 Eastings, Lost Village, Weapons Bunkers
- Player controlled artillery
- Straight shooting AA missiles
- DC oriented helicopter and jet physics
- CTF and Objective mode

New:
- Maps: Outskirts of Mosul, Nuclear Powerplant, Close Quarters, Desert Sabre, Desert Conflict
- Domination mode
- Vehicle additions (dual pilot miniguns on battlehawk, minigun on technical etc)
- Proximity fuses on AA missiles
- Slight guidance on Apache/Hind hellfire AT missiles
- Brand new effects (not seen or heard in BF2 or BF2142)
- Well produced soundtrack (varying from Drum n Bass to Epic Metal)
- & More to come as the mod progresses

If you've got a legit BF2 copy and you're quite sick of EA's ranked gameplay by now i highly advise downloading this mod as it extended the useful life of my BF2 DVD considerably.

LAN play is just as good with new gamemodes and fast vehicles that suit a small amount of players, some of the teamplay enhancing gamemodes are CTF, Domination (One area to control, one life per round), Objective (example: Destroy WMD's with C4).

In my opinion DCon is what BF2 should have been, and more. :)

best
game
ever

SEE GUYS? I ACTUALLY DO PLAY FUCKING GAMES FOR ONCE

[Zender]

I've played this a bit, hot stuff on a stick if you ask me.

Its good that vehicular combat works with low numbers toooo. :D

[zyaN]

Yeah, probably the only thing battle field related that i like to play.

[jimx]

its the best thing i have ever played !!!!!

[zyaN]

I wouldn't go that far.

[Super Cockroach]

Its bloody awesome. Guns that actually hit are for the win.

The vehicle in this screenshot had us all cracking up for ages too.

[Jensy]

yeah theres all sorts of shit like that in the game, kinda reminds me of GTA, just sort of inserting really little messages and words that are funny as fuck to see in a game

[Jensy]

but yeah i probably would go as far to say as this is quite easily one of the best games i have ever played.

[jimx]

yeah true

[brendon]

Anyone played Soldier Front?

[citizen-X]

yeah i tried out dcon and thought it was excellent on the bf2 engine especially since desert combat was a hit for 1942.

[Super Cockroach]

The next update is around the corner too, besides a bunch of bug fixes, there is supposed to be the f18 in (I thought that it was already?)

Anyone tried the artilerry by the way? I don't know how to get them to work. You know, the ones that the assault set a target with the binoc's, and then the person in the arti vehicle can shoot.

As a side note too, those arti vehicles have the best sound effect (besides ut2k4 w/its xfi pack) i've heard, the kick back of the shell during reloading sounds like someones hitting the wall behind me. Shit you not.

New desert style skin for the existing BF2 F-18 model that is already in the mod: http://img339.imageshack.us/my.php?image=dcon181kj9.j pg

Not sure what part you're having trouble with but it's explained in the DCon wiki: http://desert-conflict.org/wiki/index.php/Artillery_System

that explains:
- how to spot
- how to ask for a spot
- how to view a spot camera

doesn't outline what happens next, raaargh

[Super Cockroach]

"-Tip: When you spot a location, this places a spotting camera 20 meters above your current location and angled 20 degrees downward towards the ground. On flat ground this places the focus of the camera about 37 meters in front of you. It is important to take this into account because this view is what your team mates within artillery vehicles will see when they use your spot. This camera will always face where you are facing. How far up or down you’re looking doesn’t affect the angle of the camera."

That pretty much answers it I think - when someone spots, somehow a camera shows up of that spot, so you can adjust your shots

*Bump*

Topic updated for the new 0.15 release.

Some of the many patch changes include:
- Improved system performance on large maps (El Alamein, Desert Sheild)
- Improved vehicle and weapon balancing
- New vehicle, weapon and voice-over sounds
- 4 new DCon maps (2 infantry and 2 vehicle orientated)
- Coalition H-53 Pavelow heavy lift helicopter added

If you played version 0.1 and had performance or balance issues i advise you try this new patch out and see what they've done.

They've certainley spent enough time working on this release so my hopes are high on the major issues being resolved from here.

Only thing this mod needs now is more players, could take some from the 2 other big BF2 mods PR and PoE2. :P

[Jensy]

zomg, i was totally watching you play this the other day snaffy, and then yeah, stockade chicken have the best chips out

[jimx]

me and snazz are pro , any 1 like insur mod
