.3 Public New Maps

DesertComabt .3 comes with a few new maps, One of which is DC�s own DC Battle of 73 Eastings, an intense tank battle map. More maps are coming soon. In the meantime, we have mad over 5 new maps from the exisiting BattleField 1942 maps, These variations are called Day 2 � Day 3. Day 2 means = less airpower, Day 3 = land war only. This allows players who want to play without to much airpower in the air.


Thanks and I hope you enjoy DesertCombat .3, see you on the battlefield.
