SWEEEET! and who says DC is history. this DC mod looks like it was almost built on the BF2 engine.

HOLY HELL! If this game comes out I won't ever leave the house

DL'ing it today

maybe we could host it for a while on our DC server? it really shouldn't be hard to drop some turbo buggies in the maps. just a little copy and past should do the trick......

There are 0 servers running it right now

I say we try it out tonight! How hard can it be to get our server running it?

I can put in a support ticket to see if they will change it over and give us the options to switch mods when we want,.

Well it looks like we have ftp access to the mods. We should be able to do this and change mods at will if everythng works out right.

These are the mods that are already installed:


BF1942
DC_Final
DC_Final_RTR
DC_Final_SW
DesertCombat
FH Rename
XPack1 Rename
XPack2

Update: sent in ticket to add the mod.

yeah, we should be able to do it without sending in a ticket.

More than down to join also... let me know it is DC night after all hehe

Yep - it's DC night...I'll be on as soon as I get home!

Server is up and running. Same info as DC, just changed it to the mod. .

Hey guys, I am trying to join but am getting wrong version errors. Can you tell me what version of BF1942 I need? I recently reinstalled, maybe I'm not running the proper version. I'm using the battlefield_1942_patch_v1.6.19.exe. Plus DC 0.7 and DCF. I really would like to come in and join you all...

I think thats everything, do you have the 1.6 to 1.6b patch too?

Was an outdated punkbuster issue. Thanks for the quick reply. There gonna be a game tonight? Right now its 6pm Arizona time and 1 player

Had alot of fun, just a few people in. The server either hiccuped or went down at 20:53 server time, near the end of DCR Isolated. I don't think it was a bug / glitch since the game was going fine for quite a while. Of course it may have just been me.

Unless you know you'll have alot of people in game, I don't recommend the big maps like Frontlines or Bridge Crossing.

Hope everyone has fun with DCR, and please post any issues at the planetbattlefield forum thread. My MSN is devilchaser@hotmail.com by the way. I don't use MSN alot but if I'm on we can chat.

Thanks for hosting, and please post in the planetbattlefield forum if you're going to have any events that involve DCR, I'll post it in the DCR website.

If this mod takes off there is another server thats ready to go with hosting the game. We are waiting to see how it does on this server first.

Word of mouth is going to play a big part in how successful the revival of this mod will be. I've posted the news on planet battlefield, maybe you can suggest other major gaming news sites to post to. As far as I can think, the best way to get more players is to tell other friends in other squads about it.

By the way, DCR does have a little break in period, especially with the vehicles. Be sure to read the FAQ on the website to familiarize yourselves with the features.

I highly recommend you read the FAQ - operating the vehicles (those with weapon positions) is a bit different than normal. Takes a little getting used to.

I was in for a short time yesterday, but kept crashing to desktop. One of those crashes was a server crash.

So i have it downloaded and installed. Every time i try to join the server. I get disconnected just as the map finishes loading.
