the only time the ingame music menu can show up is when you are in position 1 inside any vehicle.. so get in a jeep or something and press 0 it should give you the list.. if it doesn't ill have to look around the options screens and see if theres a way to disable/enable..

heres a list of other things to try.. Battlecom http://www.battlecom.org/ Gamevoice http://www.gamevoice.com/gamevoice.asp teamspeak http://www.teamspeak.org/ rogerwilco http://rogerwilco.gamespy.com/ oh and another cool tool.. http://www.gamecommander.com/

no we don't play DCX here just DCDCX is an addon to Desert Combat.. a very cool one.. but we dont play it here we play plain Desert Combat

battlefield 1942 1.6 http://www.eagames.com/official/battlefield/1942/us/home.jsp the 1.6 patch has links in the download section under patches and desert combat .7 http://www.desertcombat.com/ download links are in the download section

yeah carl has to run it manually now so their done whenever he does it from what i gather i could be wrong

at the top where it says when their updated that no longer applies since they are hosted elsewhere and updated whenever carl does it so hold on a bit and see if they show up after he updates them..

ok... it is a little more demanding on your pc.. but it looks sooo sexy... theres alot of music in it and alot of cool things you can do.. i like the game alot so far.. definatly cool

lol

yeah ok lets see if i can find you.....

installing it right now.. so ill let you know what i think later tonight...

i hear its not as stable but the graphics are better since they redid the engine the game runs on to work with directx 9 i'd also have to guess that it will be alot more hardware intensive so if your system barely ran bf1942 you better get some upgrades.. just for comparison:BFV System Requirements:Windows 98, ME, 2000, XPPentium III933MHz256MB RAM1.5GB hard drive space64MB 3D-accelerated GeForce 3 video cardCD-ROM 16xBF1942 System Requirements:Windows 98, Me, 2000, XPPentium III or AMD Athlon500MHz128MB RAM1.6GB hard drive space32MB nVidia GeForce or ATI Radeon DirectX 8.1-compatible video cardDirectX 8.1-compatible sound cardCD-ROM 8xInternet connection at 56 Kbpsthat pretty much says it all...

It't my birthday today so heres what i got myself... http://www.compusa.com/products/product_info.asp?product_code=305455&pfp=BROWSE

play coalition on berlin.. thats a laugh...

as i said.. i like dc better..

yeah.. just like dc alot more.. i played FA here for a long time.. then mortors got banned.. i stopped playing and started dc..

lets see if i can simplify this a bit.. we want to allow snipers.. so thats no longer no spawn camping allowed.. we dont want repair pad campers at all in anything on repair pads inside the uncapable spawn.. we dont want spawn campers in armor inside the base at all? or just not on the repair pad? but arty from outside the base is ok.. aircraft of any type is ok.. the repair pad rule applys for aircraft as well..how about something like...No spawn camping inside an uncapable spawn at any time inside armor.No repair pad spawn camping inside the uncapable spawn (or) No repair pad spawn camping inside the uncapable spawn from aircraft (or exempt this rule all together)Arty from outside the uncapable spawn is acceptable.Tanks are discouraged from spawn camping outside the uncappable spawn. (Generally attending admin's discression)All rules are subject to the attending admin's discression if you are unsure of a rule please ask the attending admin. blah blah blah..change them put in things that are missing take out things that dont need to be there.. more ideas? less ideas? watermellons?there is no way of getting around interpratations there will always be someone that sees things different so adding things like attending admins discression is a good idea.. and if your unsure about something ask an admin blah blah its too late at night for this type of stuff.. im going to watch tv now :? this is why i didn't go to law school.....bet i wake up tomarrow and nothing i said makes sense to me anymore!

just trying to point out that wording here is important.. your interpratation of a rule and mine are different if two admins have two interpretations.. sometimes players can do some things when one is on that they cannot with others.. this brings in more problems.. possibly flames and whatnot when all people want to do is have a good time playing and not have it ruind by someone who just wants kills.. so word things carefully and easy to understand for anyone whatever rules are decided.. i can think of tons of people who wait for oppertunities to exploit rules just to be a pain in the butt and have a crusade of badmouthing someone..

why not say no spawn camping in armor then instead of falsely saying no spawn camping?

I see too many problems with allowing any type of spawn camping.. snipers included.. basically as long as im a sniper i can be in the base as these rules suggest.. if im found.. i can slip into a tank and start mowing people down.. now since no one will just let a tank that mowed them down leave without trying to get some revenge.. exiting isn't an easy option so more rounds follow more people are mowed down.. the term spawn camper flys... admins games are disrupted to deal with a problem they probably didnt witness and have no way of knowing for sure what happend.. gameplay doesnt stop so a team loses a member or two to deal with a problem wich inversly effects the game in more ways then its all worth in the first place.. why not just make it easier on ourselves and make it cut and dry.. say no. I'm not saying shot down pilots should be kicked or banned or anything.. im just trying to make light of things that are overlooked in the game mainly the time the admin has to spend dealing with something they cant prove at all times.. leaving their team short handed... i personally dont mind that but some people do.. even some people who are on the team complain that someone is idle.. now.. if you want to say spawn camping by a sniper from outside the base is allowed that makes things better granted there are no cut and dry lines that define some bases and some common sense is required for this it does help with someone bending the rules just because they are a sniper.. Arty has a slow rate of fire and its easy enough to find cover in most cases.. and you can hear it coming in and usually see the flash from where so i see no problem with arty from outside the base as well.. the problem comes when thats all someone does because we say its ok.. wheel the howitzer up on a hill and nail people as they spawn.. it sucks.. its dirty.. but itll happen guess its just something that will have to be called "part of the game" unless people agree it shouldnt be done.. moveing on to helo's and fast movers.. some maps you spawn with a stinger.. some maps have none.. some maps you have to find them.. should those be considered "part of the game" as well? or should they also fit in to the get the hell out of the uncapable spawn rule.. personally.. i don't think this game is about kills its about flags.. get them.. you've got no buisness being somewhere where there isnt one.. its a team game.. you protect the flags you have, get the ones you don't do it right.. your team wins.. not you. yes i can see that stopping someone from getting to a flag before they get a chance to get into a vehicle or something is a tactic to win.. but in my opinion its a lame one.. I suppose i could write about this for hours but i'd much rather be playing.. so please note that these are just my opinions and that everyone is entitled to them and I in no way am out to make anyone angry.. i'm just telling you what i think

holy crap the fa server is full too..

wow.. almost 9pm and the dc server is full.. guess its dvd time..

For those of you waiting for this game GZ posted their interview with Reid Schneider who is the producer of Battlefield Vietnam.. Theres a bit of what to expect from the game in there so its worth the read. Check it out! 3DA was lucky enough to get a hands on preview of the game check out what they think here

i use a Saitek Cyborg Graphite.. i beleive some of the others have the logitech 3d pro.. one or two have the force feedback models but this game doesnt support that and i've heard the tension gets messed up sometimes.. but.. figure out what you can afford.. figure out how many buttons you want.. figure out if you want a hat switch.. throttle.. etc.. and youll find you've narrowed your selection down quite a bit..
