Gonna get into BF1942/Desert Combat for the first time, any tips?

[gingo]

I've always been a Half Life mod kind of guy, but I decided to give BF1942 with the Desert Combat mod a try. I'll be playing in about 5 minutes, just finishing downloading the latest patch. Any tips or pointers that will help enrich my gaming experience?

Practice with the planes offline, it'll save you lots of flaming.

Just played my first game... Not really stunned, its ok I guess. I kind of like the infantry side of things better than vehicles and stuff. Its a little on the slow paced side. I wont give up yet but I think I may give Americas Army a try next.

 

[nealric]

what maps and how many players?
That makes a real difference in speed.

Try playing berlin or stalingrad

The jeep is an effective weapon in the hands of a skilled driver.

Tanks go boom with a shot to the back. DC can be really really fun with 2 skilled helo pilots and 4 guys in abrams. DC is more fast paced because of vehicle speed alone. I also like the infantry side of it better too. And trust me, if you think BF is slow paced, America's Army is not much faster. Well actually, it is a low slower.

Is berlin and staligrad 1942 maps or DC maps? I'm guessing 1942....

I may give it try though.

You can play BF maps in DC. I like the DC weapons better; more powerful.

my words of advise are don't spawn camp. it ruins the game for everyone. and don't tk but thats a given with any game.


if you think BF is slow you will hate americas army. that game is bf in 100x slow mo.

No Fly Zone is a good DC ( Desert Combat) map if you want to fly or like me, TRY to fly
