Battlefield 1942 desert combat mod free download

Sunday, 4 May, 2008 – Planet Battlefield News

There has been some recent interest in reviving the Desert Combat Realism mod, so I have put back the DCR website. The DCR mod is dedicated to bringing the desert combat experience closer to what you would expect from real-world equipment. The maps have been customized to emphasize teamwork, communication, and coordination. The mod is chock full of innovative features such as a great recoil / accuracy system, select fire weapons, selectable ammo in tanks, wound effects, vehicle disabling, and lots more.

There's also lots of custom content, including original maps, vehicles, and weapons / kits. Since the mod is so teamplay oriented, I think it makes for a good scrim mod.

I think it could be a great break to do a little retrogaming. BF2 and 2142 are getting boring, and FFoW is getting a little frustrating. It might be a good time to play around in DCR.

The website has all the downloads you need to get fired up, even if BF1942 is uninstalled. There is a great feature list that details all the innovations in the mod. Plus screenshots, movies, and descriptions of the original maps. The site will become more developed based on community interest. There's also a discussion thread started in forumplanet, which should be useful to get some games going.

Here is a little background on the mod if you haven’t ever heard of it. Siege is a medieval combat mod for Battlefield 1942. It is set during the 100 Year’s War between the French and English. Fight on open fields or siege a castle using a large array of medieval weaponry and vehicles.

In 2004 the last version of Siege was release, although still in an incomplete stage. A group of new developers started an expansion of this mod in 2006, calling it Siege: Medieval Warfare. The goal of Siege: MW was to bring new weapons, vehicles, buildings, maps, and more to the game; a complete revitalization of the original Siege mod. Unfortunately, early last summer this mod died without a release. Recently, a few of the former developers started working on the mod once again, and we are now well on our way. Read the Rest...

Here's another preview of the german mapping factory

The map (W.I.P. !) is called -My Son- and shows a fictitious remake of the really existing temple ruins of My Son in Vietnam.
The quantity of vegetation causes some lag atm but I hope this will be fixed soon.

Also there are some screenshots of a fictitious My Hoi map (during war in vietnam formerly known as My Lai) in our forums.

EoD 0.81 will be a small patch with new maps and small fixes. Release sometimes in spring 2008.
