.. and release your parachute over approtiate landing zone

Stear it to a good spot somewhere high above enemy base

Find a nice target... in this case a loaded chopper

BAM!!... what a great feeling

I know i talked about söldner earlier on this forum... and its a crappy game, BUT i found it in a bargin bin for $19 and thats a good price.
It got maps as big as Joint ops/operation flashpoint, there is a patch about 300mb that fixes most problems(and i belive that the patch includes the FULL expansion pack called "Marine corps" aswell), ping is MUCH more stable than in Joint ops... graphics is just a tad higher than Operation flashpoint, gameplay is actually fun and the game are PACKED with vehicles and weapons.
You can also customize your character with camo,face,head gear,gloves, boots, goggles, pants, jackets etc... so the customizing is endless.
The game also have Iron sight weapons much like those seen in Joint ops/Operation flashpoint.(Although, some look like the ones in COD where you see the whole weapon, and some is just a black siluette like the pic below.)
It can be played in 3rd person and 1st person view both as soldier and vehicles.
The terrain is also destructable, trees fall, houses blows up, big holes in the ground, fires etc..

For that price its worth it...and its a substitute til Battlefield 2( which is still 2 months away)comes out or anyother Full scale war game.

That's the biggest gun i've seen in awhile, by far the biggest.

I thought about picking this game up the other night actually, then remembered the fact my pc is from +10 years ago and put it back down. :lol:

Looks shit though.

Is that game any good? I think I downloaded it but never played it...

Textures look like shit is that your settings?

Post by **reefsurfer** » Sat Apr 23, 2005 5:24 pm

Yea, it isent the best looking game, but as said earlier.. the gameplay and the freedom makes up for it.

Speaking of which... *looks for desert combat cd*

Have ya tried DC xtended memph?
Only played the 0.8 version but i heard that the extended patch had more vehicles and tweaks...

Im so tired of DC though... you die aaaaall the time... the maps are to small and they should leave airplanes out.
