AC-130s BABY! http://www.desertcombat.com/ The DesertCombat team is pleased to announce the third major public alpha of DesertCombat will be available April 5th. If you are a fileplanet subscriber, a pre-release of .3 will be available on April 2nd. Make sure you visit FilePlanet for more details.

In this stage of development each is roughly balanced with some minor advantages to each, making gameplay much more fun and exciting. .3 Public Release Weapons and Vehicles ** This is not the complete or final list, this is only what is available for the public alpha and more will follow in the next alpha release.

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.

Well, I think it could be much worse than selling out to fileplanet. According to CNN, the team is discussing selling this as an expansion pack:
http://money.cnn.com/2003/03/25/comm...ming/index.htm "Desert Combat" is still a work in progress, but more than 250,000 people have already downloaded it. And traffic to the game's official site has increased by roughly 15,000 page views per day since the beginning of the war. While it currently focuses exclusively on the 1991 Gulf War, team leader Frank DeLise said the game will eventually include missions from Somalia, Afghanistan and Operation Iraqi Freedom. Players can choose to fight for either the U.S. led coalition or the Iraqi side. (Ironically, players from Germany, which opposes the U.S. action, often tend to play as Iraqi soldiers.) A new version of "Desert Combat" will be released next week and will include new weapons for both sides (including scud missiles and A-10 attack planes) and a mission to find and destroy (or, if you're the Iraqis, defend) a chemical weapons plant. "Desert Combat", which was overwhelmingly voted last year's most popular mod, is a free download for now, though that might change with future versions. "We've been approached by multiple publishers to try and sell it," said DeLise, "so it's probably not going to be a mod for long. It'll be more of an expansion pack." |
