DC .6F IS OUT

[SpongeBob]

ASE tried to update me this morning to DC .6F, so I let it download, just haven't patched it yet.

http://www.desertcombat.com/

DC's website has all the details. It is only a patch from .5, there is no full update. (It's still 239MB 8O )

So, Analog, when's this puppy going to be put in place?

[LionRampant]

Roger that, downloading now.

CORRECTION: Should read "waiting in line now."

I think you should lay off the puppy threats there!!



*Long live Ulf :P

Downloading from Ausgamers.com at 66KBs. About an hour left to wait...

[Iron Sauron]

The Opposition finally gets the CORRECT AA rocket. The SA-7 GRail. YAY!
and the Stryker looks like it will pwn!!

[LionRampant]

DC.6...does...rox0r.

Love the MH-53 Helicopter - it's a BIG lump of a chopper. :D

Only new map I've tried is Urban Siege which looks especially good. :)

[MASH]

Couple of early impressions:

- New maps look fun... laggy, but fun. I think the new city map will be the standout.
- That new coalition silenced machine gun is frightening. Barely makes a sound, and seems very accurate.
- Whatever that new opposition tank is, it PWNS!!! Fast as a Humvee (maybe faster) and has a T72 barrel on top that the driver can fire! 8O
- And the Nimitz... Well, what can I say about this bad boy? The first thing that comes to mind is, enemy fighter pilots BEWARE! Those AA defenses are 1337. I can't WAIT to lay into you air whores with those lovelys. :D

Looks like the DC team has put out another great release. Looking forward to fragging with all of you on Analogs Server soon.

[Otto]

I always hated waiting....

[Otto]

I have a question. On the download page it said "must have DC .51".
Is that what we're running now?
I'm such a noob.


LM 8)

I cant begin to remember all the patchs I'v got....I remember .5 or was it .51?

I'm still waiting on .6...if you find out something I need to know yell at me.

I dont know,I dont play COD yet...I'm just trying to keep up with DC.

[Canadian Hick]

Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!

[SpongeBob]

Pay for an account at fileshack, fileplanet or what not, it's not the worst thing in the world and not waiting is a good thing. Plus unlimited bandwidth. got my patch from fileshack at 250kb/s and no wait.

Update whenever you want, just depends upon where you want to play, I doubt Analog will wait long to patch his server.

[Canadian Hick]

Of course, the burning question is...
Do we patch now? Or wait For AK to update the server first?

LM :?
Patch now, pressuring him to patch.

Can't remember my passwords and my e-mail is down since I reformated so they can't e-mail me my password nor can I re-register from same e-mail :evil: I do not want a hotmail account so I guess I wait till monday for full access at other sites :x

[Chairman_Kaga]

I'll have it DL'ing in about 10 minutes.

After that I'll UL it to my site and post a link. Should be up by 3pm CST or so.

[Angry Kid]

The map Sea Rigs is freekin HUGE - horizontally and vertically. Tons of tunnels, walkways and levels.

Parachute out on top of an oil rig with a sniper rifle and 8O 8O 8O .

The DC folks were very accomodating, too, since it's so big - they've included a map. :D

[Chairman_Kaga]

Get your DC 6 here (http://goneboating.net/DC_6f_patch.exe)

[Dali]

One thing I noticed.....They replaced both of the Apache's with Littlebirds on Gazala :x ......I'm not sure if this is such a good Idea....well I guess if your on the opposition it will be a good thing!

[Canadian Hick]

IT R0><0rz!

[Chalybos]

Well, I got the download, and I'm ready to play. Unfortunately, my wife has other plans. :evil:

[LilPuppy]

he couldn't hack Schultzies 1337 AH-6 pwnage.


Also, SilentScope was on, sweet bastidge he is.


.6 is awesome. Those new Lil Bird helo's are incredible to be in/look at while flying.

I have to agree with the fermented one... even I can zip around in those little babies. Just don't ask me to land. 8O

[ignus]

i dislike .6. it was bad enough to weaken the stinger, but now you dont even get one half the time! and the opposition's stinger is goddamn horrible!

Oh, I dunno, I seemed to get in a couple of Stinger kills while on the Opposition side. So did SK. Littlebirds don't take a lot of damage. But they're fast as hell.

Know issues with the Beta .6

Optimization
Since this mod is a work in progress, some optimizations have been made to the models for performance. You might experience a slight slowdown due to the fact that we haven’t done a full optimization pass yet.

Balancing
Currently the game feels balanced, but some things may destroy objects faster then they should, the game will continually balance out as the mod progresses. This goes for speed of vehicles, weapon damage and amount of ammo.

Maps
Only maps that display a small DC logo in them have DC vehicles. This is only temporary until new maps are created. Some new DC maps do not support single player yet, coming soon.
If you find any bugs, please send them to bugs@desertcombat.com

I have decided that while the Littlebird is great for taking out enemy infantry and getting from point 'A' to point 'B', they do absolutely no damage against armor. On maps like Bocage and El Al, I want my Apache back. I hovered over Geri Atric and dumped about 300 rounds into his APC and did no damage. None. Zip. Zero. Nada.

Well he is thick skinned and does use an armour bot :P

Actually, now that I think about it, I was shooting down. Must have been his thick skull. :D

I'd agree, but at this point in time, it doesn't bother me so much.

On maps like Urban Siege, they create a great distraction to the armour and are good for taking out infantry.

Open maps like Bocage would be tough - maybe if they added a little more oomph to the missiles.

Oh yeah! Me and my cronies have been on a CTF jag lately, but it seems like most servers still run .5 maps or something (?) - Apaches everywhere.

Yup, zero damage.

So I decided to experiment a little, and parked a peice of armour in front of my parked Littlebird. Zero damage.

The rockets really aren't much use either. I don't think there are enough rockets on that thing to take out a tank. Needs a bit more firepower.

Still effective on APC's and artillery though, and great against infantry (which means Chaly's homing beacon on me won't be effected :( )

I'm not really a fan CTF in BF...but the other night I played a few rounds of CTF on Basrah nights....all infantry ..other than a few trucks.....I must say that it was very fun..... it was very hard to return the flag....but it forced teamwork like nothing I had seen BF before!....maybe when bf v1.6 comes out ..it might be possible to run a rotation with a mix of CTF and Objective maps ...maybe with a few SW maps thrown in....Could be very cool....just rambling now...but just think of the possibilities.....think! :D
