I also have a dial-up (more to the point: tin-can and string) connection, and on a small server its fine.


Guess you're right aboutt he wingy things. Allthough I have yet to do anything but crash in them. Figure I'd just stick with the tracks and ground. I just signed up tonite at Gamespy. Don't know if there is anywhere else to play it or not. Lizardqing there as well. Plan on giving the multiplayer a try tonite sometime.
Think we should post this in the off topic to see if there are some from the other forums interested?

WW2 online

Man I played that game wayyyyy to much.

If you value realism then thats the game to play IMO. It has a steep learning curve to be sure but its a blast. You can't be a one man army and teamwork is a must if you are to have any sucess.

The best thing about the game is that it doesn't have a hit points system. You can keep hitting the same spot over and over but inless your hitting something critical (ammo engine etc) you won't disable your target.

It has its faults but its a great game.

I play online also. My online name is Trophy Hunter.

I have all the versions:BF1942, Road to Rome & Secret Weapons. I also have the latest DC mod.

Don't forget too....Battlefield Vietnam will be on the shelves in 2 weeks Tongue [:P]

PS, I like the name 1/35 armored too. We will need to get some pilots though!

Shall we make a clan for Desert Combat? I really like the 1/35 armored division. What are some other ideas?? Lets actually make up a clan

I don't have DC yet, had a friend was going to be downloading it for me but have not talked to him yet. No way I could download it with my dial up, that would take a week.
I tried playing it on Gamespy last night and it told me I had an invalid cd key. Don't know why though since I bought the game new at wal-mart. Anyone have any idea?

Operation Flashpoint series most definantly, the most realistic fun combat all around type game I have found. ull love it, but ud better have a fast computer or it will skip and the tank will fire but wont shoot hit or kill anything. awsome game overall, and ... another good one wouldddddd beeeeeee..... ummmm well the rest of the operation flashpoint series, ie russian campaigns and the freedomefighter version.

M1Tank Platoon 2 has always been a great tank simulator, it's been around for some time but stands the test of time very well. I still play it when I'm able. Steel Panthers is my favorite, though.

I'm from the government and I'm here to help.
