Frizbee 0 Posted April 17, 2003 The Desert Combat mod for Battlefield 1942 is simply awesome. The tanks reload alot faster, and so even with 350% of the normal tickets, you still have a game that is over faster than a standard Battlfefield mission. The Helicopters aren't impossible to fly, you just have to work out the balance needed. Strafe keys and the Mouse are needed to stay level, while holding forward makes you go up. Releasing forward makes you sink back towards the ground. It DOES take a bit of getting used to certainly, but it's not impossible. Download it, you'll have fun.

peanuckle_00 0 Posted April 17, 2003 It's almost just what I've been asking for. I want a massive multiplayer thing like this. More like ww2 online modern but this looks good. I think I'll get it when it goes retail. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They're very sluggish, very very sluggish, and they're not stable in that they recquire constant adjustment. But since they're sluggish, you're constantly overadjusting and constantly crashing, cursing, and beating your computer. Off the top of my head, I haven't played in a long time.
