1942: DC (Desert Combat)
Pros and Cons.

Pros:
1. No ranks, no stats system, therefore no point whores.
2. When you get healed the medic bag can't be thrown and eventually runs out of "ammo" Also no points for this.
3. NO GAYMORES
4. Dolphin diving and bunny hopping is where it should be.
5. There is pretty much NO spawn camping.
6. Stingers to take out the pesky jets, but they have limited range. (If you get hit twice with these things, you don't need to be in the jet in the first place.)
7. There's no TKing for planes (There IS a .50 cal, but it's on the ground in random spots)
8. CTF and other game modes aside from conquest.
9. All jets are pretty much balanced.
10. Helis take skill to fly - As in tards crash immediately.

Cons:
1. Ranks: A double edged sword. No ranks = no desire to play for some.
2. There's no ammo, heal, revive, kill damage assist, capture assist, or driver kill assist points.
3. No commanders I.E: Manual artillery.
4. There are a few glitches, but none like the Market glitch or hotel glitch in Kark.
5. Support weapons god-like when prone (But not a real problem)
6. Can't be revived, but a short respawn time.
7. No squads.
8. No HUD for jets / helis.
9. Helis difficult to master.
10. Not as much detail to the game.

BF2: Pros and Cons.

Pros:
1. Lots of detail.
2. Commanders, and squad based gameplay.
3. Variety of weapons.
4. More armies.
5. Different types of firing modes for weapons.
6. Medals / badges / rankes encourage people to play a variety of kits.
7. Jets / Helos have HUDs.
8. Jets and helis are easy to master.
9. More servers / people.
10. Better graphics.

Cons:
1. LOTS of fucking retards / noobs.
2. Whiners (I.E: "OMG SPAWNCAMP" "OMG BUNNYHOPPER" "OMG WTF HAX")
3. Retard commanders / squadleaders.
4. Any tard with half a brain and one arm can kill in a J-10.
5. Did I mention whiners?
6. Tkers that just HAVE TO HAVE "their" jet.
7. Better graphics: Some people just don't have the system to enjoy this.
8. Glitches. Lots of them.
9. Spawn campers.
10. Karkand / Wake whores (Yes, I'm both)

Discuss.

Play BF2 in clans/leagues and most of the CONS of BF2 will suddenly dissapear (read: no arseheads & noobzors). Therefore: BF2 > BF1942.

You have obviously not enjoyed a good old lan with a bunch of buds on DC, most fun thing ever. Loads of suiced bombing, camping, joking around, and most important of all, having fun.

DC was great, but if i ever went back to 1942 for any reason, it would be unmoded, and to enjoy the navy battles which have foolishly been removed from the newer BF games.

No decent AA in DC.

(the stingers aren't what they're supposed to be and are only good for blasting infantry.

Another con:  the C4 falls off the jeep (the one with the recoiless cannon) when it moves = no good for suicide bombing + many teamkills when you detonate them + getting killed when you hop out of the car and press the button thinking that you have the C4 in the back.

And yet another con:  there ARE glitches, and pretty big ones too.  In outskirts of (can't remember the exact map name) ***, when you get into a car and drive next to the wall separating the MEC from UMSC, you can see straight through it and all the campers waiting for someone to stick their head through the archway.

I know this is a bit off-topic but is 1942 downloadable anywhere? I just got into BF2 maybe 2 months ago & would love to play around in 1942 to see "where it all came from". Is it still for sale anywhere at least?

Psp, there are no 'capture assist' points because all people in the capture area when the flag is taken/neutralised get full points.
I like normal Bf1942 over DC, but I guess more people play DC. I just love flying in 1942, it beats any other dogfighting in any other BF game, plus sinking ships rule.

Edi: Magik, yeah it's still for sale. Here in NZ it costs like $30 bucks and it comes with BF:V, but in the US it'll probably be $10 or less.

Most major electronics stores sell it still. $20 canadian, I'm guessing $15 or $16 down in the states.

Anyone want to buy my copy?

I live in AUstralia, so shipping could take a long time...



Pro for DC:
Engineers have brilliant mortars that are the eqivalent of *ahem* noob cannons.

No need to get 1942 by itself, the super-duper-deluxe-uber-marketing edition or whatever has 1942, both expansions, and BF:V for, I don't know, 20-30USD.

Yes, I did know that everyone got a cap point.
And YES naval battles on Midway was probably the most entertainment I've had in any game. Price OW > You.
Dog fighting in 1942 takes skill, and I LOVE it.

On a side note: Is anyone up for some DC? Add me to Xfire for the Ip.

I miss the navy part of 1942 as well. Especially with some of the FH maps, such as Bismark.

BF2 has without question the worst admins ever assembled in a online game.

19 / 20 BF2 server admins are kiddie noobs who cant stand to get whipped by a vistor.

Ive been kicked and banned dozens and dozens of times for owning admins. Just yesterday I
was blowing up a clannie admins assets so much he got mad and banned me for....    "FAG!"

Too many daddys out there buying their kiddies game servers these days.... Even the 20,25 year
old admins act like their 12..  its pathetic.

I wish the helis were harder to fly in BF2 like they were in DC. My brother was so sick in those helis in DC and still can't really adapt as well to BF2. The main thing I didn't like about DC was the fact that they didn't have any new maps for it, but that's no biggy.

I have bf1942, all expansions, and these mods: DC, FH, bf1918, Finwars. And there are over 100 multiplayer maps and hunders of vehicles. Nowdays I play it even more than bf2 or 2142. It is still a real good game after many years.
