One More Time - BFDC Night

**Killer_McDermott** · 03-19-2005, 11:45 AM

I am going to try again to rally the troops so to speak. Who is up for some BFDC? How about tomorrow around 8:00 p.m. Eastern? If that doesn't work, post some other suggestions.

Yes I know the above doesn't exactly make you want to run out right now and play BFDC but I thought I'd try a different approach this time.

I haven't gotten everything reinstalled since the galactic conquest crash... but I'll see what I can do prior to that time. I'm up for some DC.

**Apophis** · 03-20-2005, 12:24 PM

I'm up for it!

If someone can point me to a no-cd patch that works without upsetting the server, then I would play again..

no, nocd patch as such, but get a cd imaging software, such as alcohol 52, then create an image of cd1 for battlefield, and use this to run the game. you will never need the cd again.

I can't point you to a site but I have heard that a place on the web called gamecopyworld might have what you are looking for.

I tried that one.. When I joined the server, it said something about a mismatch.

Dudeman, I have lost my CD.

hmmmm hmmm hmmmmmm....

FYI, BF is still screwed for me... I've uninstalled and reinstalled. Even with no mods, it crashes... But then the other day it worked fine with Galactic Conquest... I have no idea what is different. I'm baffled...

If it is the message I think you are getting, it usually says Data differs from server. Normally that is due to pure content checking being enabled. I can't check that from work but I can look tonight. I know of someone who ran on the TG server with a NoCD patch for quite a while before discovering the wonders of Alcohol 120%....the software.

**asch** · 03-22-2005, 02:02 PM

Another reason for that message is you don't have the same patches installed.... at least I think.

You guys ever get this off the ground? I was out of town last week, so I missed this. I'd be up for DC or Forgotten Hope.

**Apophis** · 03-23-2005, 12:38 AM

I don't have Forgotten Hope.. What's the deal with that?

I'd like to try again this week, but this week is tough for me in general.. I've not given up hope on BF1942 though!

Fogotten Hope? Think of it as BF1942 Realism. Here's the info from the website:

Quote:

Forgotten Hope is a modification for Battlefield 1942 that concentrates on adding both a more realistic and more enjoyable playing experience than the original BF1942 and includes many new specially designed custom maps to play in.

The mod includes over 250 new pieces of authentic equipment (more than any other Second World War FPS), with tanks such as the mighty Russian IS-2 heavy tank and the diminutive Japanese Ha-Go light tank, aircraft from the rugged American P47 Thunderbolt to the antiquated British Fairey Swordfish biplane, warships such as the British Ark Royal aircraft carrier and the German Battleship Tirpitz and weapons including the powerful German Panzerfausts and the fearsome Russian PPSh-41 submachine gun.

New gameplay elements include a pilot class, which is now the only class equipped with a parachute, these can be found as pickup kits near most aircraft. There are also kits that contain deployable heavy machine guns, which can be setup anywhere on the map to create defensive strongpoints. Tank combat is greatly enhanced by a specially designed armour code, which determines how much armour anti-tank shells can penetrate, making it advantageous to outflank tanks to attack their weak rear armour. There are also towed anti-tank and anti-aircraft guns, these can be driven to a hidden ambush point then deployed to surprise the enemy.

The infantry class system has also been altered for more realistic and tactical gameplay, most maps will now allow you to choose from close quarters (an SMG armed soldier), assault (a rifleman who can use special rifle grenades), support (armed with a light machine gun), anti-tank (armed with an anti-tank weapon such as the bazooka) and officer (who can act as a spotter for artillery weapons and has an SMG). Sniper kits can now only be found spread around the maps, usually in special sniper hides. There are also paratrooper kits for certain maps that call for them, such as falschrimjager for the invasion of Crete.

All these features are implemented in a historically accurate way, so you won’t find the King Tiger on a map set in 1940. Speaking of maps, we also have many new custom maps (more maps than came with BF9142 infact) in addition to modified versions of some of the more popular original maps. The game also includes a new army, the Polish forces, and the French and Italian armies are also currently being implemented. In the future you can expect a host of new features, such as artillery batteries and flame based weapons along with even more accurate equipment for all armies.

So whether you like house to house fighting in Stalingrad, tank battles in the Tunisian desert or dogfights in skies over southern England – Forgotten Hope has something for you.

The download is huge (1.7gb), but worth it.
