C4 throwing does not go as far as you will want it too.SargeV1.4 wrote:
I'll put up some nice widescreen HQ screens when I get home
a certain mr. patton told me that you can fire weapons in midair in Dcon, so C4 throwing ahoy!
My first round someone says in chat "OMG you can jump and shoot".
Everyone around me pauses for a moment and all start jumping and shooting.
The horn on the C130 is hilarious.
Has anyone driven the ice cream truck? On "War Bunker". the truck for the Opposition has an ice cream-type horn on it, hilarious as shit.
Oh, and myself and some other guys were in TS playing, I hit my space bar and continued shooting, I mentioned it, and my entire TS channel; started hopping around like rabbits, lol.

I just met the first cheater in Dcon.. isn't that just nice. decent dogfighter, worthless cheater. constantly knew my position in XYZ-accuracy and would fly straight on my tail from across the map, without using any normal logical indicator such as SOUND OR SIGHT.
fucking retard. should be hung on his own entrails

it seems like u guys never played bf1942 desert combat and dc final, it was the best battlefield series game
i was consider one of the best aviator back in the days

then tell me: besides logic, sight, and sound, how could someone know exactly where I am every time? (I wasn't spotted either)lxcpikiman wrote:

the jets have their own radar that allow youto see where they are and where they are going, that's how it was in dc final
Yeah it fun I think I heard it on another map as well.BlackKoala wrote:

Btw when you are in an APC as a passenger you can press left mouse button and a bicycle bell will ring. You can indicate the driver of the APC to make a stop and let you out. The Devs of DCON have a sense of humor
Good answer. At least you're modest.jord wrote:

The 50 CAL is in the middle shed on a box on Al Ailmein,spelling.
The sheds are at Iraqi Uncap.
It kills in on shot to the body,although it won't go through windows like in normal bf2.
Maybe you shoot pilots from blackhawks through the side window or something...
Anyway there is a 50 cal sniper at "Outskirts of Mosul", on the USMC side spawn in one of the wooden shacks where the boats are. Considering that its a small city map, the .50 cal is priceless

This may sound like a n00b question, but if i do download this mod. Will it come up as a different shortcut on the desktop so i can continue playing regular bf2 if i wanted? Will it interfere at all with playing bf2? Is it like sandbox where i can play either or at times?
Works just like any other mod, no normal gameplay is affected.Shiffdaddy wrote:

So do points count toward your stats? I just ask because that screen shot with the points and all sure looks exactly the same as BF2 score list, just makes me wonder.
Nature is a powerful force. Those who seek to subdue nature, never do so permanently.
the arty in that mod is incredible!!! i just got done owning with it. i had second highest combat score in a full server. i believe i had a total of 24 kills, just from using the arty.SargeV1.4 wrote:

Points gained in Mods dont count towards your Vanilla BF2 accounts.Im_Dooomed wrote:

Some servers in DCON are however ABR ranked, Alternative Battlefield Ranking. Couldnt find a link, but you can gain ranks as per the vanilla way. Dunno what they get you, maybe it is something for the near future.
It is the shit, and as asked at the begining the effective ceiling is 3000 feet.
Here is a list of changes they will be making for the next patch as well.

BTW CATIA is one of their PR guys who has been getting input from CAL, and thats where I got this from. If you have a problem with anything in game the modders have been extremely attentive and will basically listen to any input you have.CATIA wrote:
UPDATE 1.0
- Fix lag/CTD problems
- Longer spawn time for Scud (2x from the other two)/MLRS/BM21
- Tone down the Car-15
- VSS scope view distance should match the Car15 or visa versa.
- No tank-tank auto repair. Players must get out to repair.
- Reduce noise in jets/bomber cockpit so the pilot can at least hear a plane flying by.
- Reduce speed (Jets only?)
- Missile and bombs should fire fast as you pull the trigger.
- Increase stamina
- Lower AK recoil while zoomed
- Flag capping should be slower.
- My Voice LOL
- Eliminate the ability to spawn on the squad leader
Toss up: I'm still unclear what the community want to do with these. From what i've been reading, some of you like em, some don't. So what to do??
- Lock on: ppl are still divided on this issue. Here couple of solutions: 1. completely eliminate the lock-on or 2. leave the lock-on but take away the annoying lock-on sound?
- Bunny hoppin
Plz keep the feedback coming. If you spot bug/exploit, plz let me know. I will edit this list (to add/remove what you guys want to see next release) and submit it to the Devs in the middle of next week (Wed 4th).
NOTE: I can’t guarantee the Devs will change “all” what is listed above, what I do guarantee is the Devs will look at them. We will do our best to keep this mod competition and pub friendly for all to enjoy.
you are in the advertising bussiness arent you ?? i'd buy that for a $ (or a € ) GoodgameSargeV1.4 wrote:
-it owns
-dogfighting is 100x better* than in vanilla BF2. Jets have dumbfire missles: extremely fast missles that are unguided. they take skill to use and are insanely good at taking down choppers (a little too good, imo)
*estimate
-the maps are atmospheric, look the part, and play well
-guns are very accurate, but have high recoil (which you can control.) so infantry is less luck more skill
-arty is manually fired, and is rather spiffy.
-there is a variety of vehicles: imagine F-15, A-10, and an F18 at once.
-AA is insanely strong, but they are also dumbfire missles. Just very fast ones. Thus, AA takes skill, and it is rewarded
-the height ceiling for jets is way higher: I haven't tested it yet, but I was flying problem free at an altitude of 1500 just now. (this makes it possible to do long range attacks on flags, thus avoiding AA.)
-the choppers are great: littlebirds of several kinds, very maneauverable apaches, blackhawk with forward-facing guns, etc.
I've really just been jet whoring non stop but it seems that Dcon is beating vanilla BF2 in every way.

Basically it's guess and test, you fire where you think you want your rockets to land, change to view where the guy spotted, observe where your rockets landed and then correct it from there.Jemme101 wrote:
