http://www.desertcombat.com/ looks very cool, I havent had a chance to check all the others yet but I would really like for a mod to come out that includes modern day Warships and Aircraft Carriers.

I've just been playing the desertcombat mod.

Oh my.

The prospect of ehl in the helicopter sends me cold.

Helicopters, jets (very difficult to control, need a big map - mouse control is impossible), mobile AA, tanks with proper positions, something which looks like an amphibious craft, it's chuffing marvellous.

I'm just downloading the CiS mod now, and then I'm off to find a desertcombat server.

/me encourages everyone to get the desertcombat mod.

If you hadn't guessed already.

Although I've got the feeling that *desert* combat might not include warships. Ahem.

I wasnt going to try desert combat but as you say its good...
I'm downloading 'Conflct in Somalia' at the minute.

Maybe these mods on the servers will get people playing on BW as theres plenty of fast standard servers about?

I doubt you'd see such a mod as "modern day" naval engagements are usually over the horizon and involve very long range missiles, there are only a few surviving big gun battleships in modern fleets, most destroyers contain little more than a token gun turret in reflection of past days.

Check out Harpoon 4, which I don't actually know if it has been released yet

Merciless Creations:

takes you to a page with broken links on it

I believe this is what those in the know call a bump.

Loadsa mods.

I have to admit to being quite excited by the WH40K mod. No-one's ever really done a good Games Workshop game. Space Hulk was ok, but I want to be able to pilot eldar titans around the fields of .... err ... Germany or something.

/me recalls a misspent youth in Clayton Street

Did someone say "Stickeh"?

Only way you going to get a sticky, is if you wrestle Davross's copy of AC2 off of him.
Ive got the bite marks that says you aint gonna win.

Actually the Gulf war saw the last of the American Battleships used, even then the USS Missouri had been decommissioned twice before.

BW 'random liaison' picking once again shows fruit

I wouldn’t say that, Davross just got hopelessly addicted to AC2. I’m sure when the problems with the rcon for the servers is fixed he'll shake off his beard and rejoin humanity

 

[Scooba Da Bass]

http://www.blackbagops.com/bfutils.shtml tbh, this is also known as the system that every other company uses to give admins control of the servers.

 

[cjc1665]

You're despoiling my precious mod thread with crazy rcon talk!

Be out!

 

[Senses]

New version of Desert combat is available (alpha 0.25).

 

[Summo]

I really really want a quality Wild West mod.

Star Wars Battlefield:

After many months in development this most anticipated Total conversion mod for Battlefield 1942 is set to be released in a public alpha test on the 14th of March 2003 for feedback from YOU, the general public.

[Pac^]

just read that SWbattlefield or Galactic Conquest as its now known will NOT be released on the 14th now and has been postponed with no set release date.

Perhaps the Lucas Lawyers finally got hold of them?

 

[Pac^]

heh.."use the courts Luke"

Judging by some of tone of some of the posts in their forum and reading posts on other bf sites, it just looks like they were a little optimistic on having the release up to the standard they wanted by the 14th. Personally, I think it would be better to have a more complete alpha/beta released at a later date than simply a re-textured Gazala and a few xwing skins to replace the original plane skins. Good luck to 'em I say.
