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. Since the first and second test was so successful, we were able to get valuable feedback and bug reports to make this mod even better, Thank you so much for the support, feedback and donations.

Public Alpha 0.3 features a slew of bug fixes and additions aimed at creating one of the best war game experiences on the PC. In this stage of development each is roughly balanced with some minor advantages to each, making gameplay much more fun and exciting.

.3 Public New Features

DesertCombat now has 6 new classes to choose from,

Sniper
Assault
Heavy Gunner
Anti Armor
Support
Spec Ops

These new classes have a wide range of new abilities, including the ability to create mortars anywhere on the battlefield for any soldier to use or create sandbag walls to hide behind in the middle of a battle.

.3 Public New Maps

DesertComabt .3 comes with a few new maps, One of which is DC’s own DC Battle of 73 Eastings, an intense tank battle map. 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 they got an offer from EA GAMES i believe that it they wanted them to make it an espansion pack or make us pay but the DC team is not so sure they want to do that yet but anyway if anyone is a registered fileplanet member remember to give it out to other places and shit to upload :D and shit cause i bet alot of people will do that and if no one does then april 5th will be for the public unless u pay for fileplanet :D

Actually, when I was playing I tried the Iraqi suicide bomb, I went around the enemy groups (IE: Cluster of vehicles), yelled out "JIHAD!" or "FOR ALLAH SILLY AMERICANIES!" then BOOM, they're gone.. :bunny:

btw, sorry guys..

Quote from www.bf1942.com
Everybody who did sign up for being a subscriber at FilePlanet in the past is one of the luckiest guys today. Although the official release date for Desert Combat .3 is next Saturday, FilePlanet offers a special FP-Download of DC .3 only for subscribers from now on. The very nice file weights 146,4 MB and offers a great mod. But when you install the file, you need to enter a special key which you received after logging in with your FilePlanet account. This key only works once on one computer. So all Non-Subscribers have to wait three more days.
