Desert Crisis

You may or may not have read Bada's post recomending the mod Desert Crisis. It's awesome and everyone should, at the very least, check it out (www.desertcrisis.com). The problem with it is there are a serious lack of servers for this mod. So I was suggesting/wondering if the Ville had any plans to add this mod to one of the servers.

Thanx Mikey you won't regret it...this is a little info about the mod taken from the website:

Desert Crisis is a mod set in the near future, so there is a mix of modern weaponry (such as Desert Eagles and MP5's) and futuristic weapons (such as laser sniper rifles and plasma cannons). Desert Crisis features a modular objective system which gives the mappers _TOTAL_ freedom. They can link objectives as well, so you could, for example, shoot the VIP and take his briefcase. It is totally up to the mapper, they can even specify if they want rounds or not. The objective system also works with Half-Life's trigger system, so events can be triggered by the objectives. For example, you could capture the flag, and buildings could explode, it is totally up to the mapper.

The mod also features a character selection system similar to old-school paper RPGs. You choose your body-type, weapons, and perks (such as extra adrenaline, nightvision and so on). This way, your character is a reflection of your playing style. Also, not only can you customize how your character is equipped, but how he LOOKS as well. DC features a unique character customization system wherein you can pick skin color, accessories (hats, hair, glasses, etc.). There are literraly THOUSANDS of possible combinations. This mod will be one of the first games where u can recognize someone by how they look, not just the name at the bottom of the screen.

Desert Crisis is a pulse-pounding over-the-top war simulation. The focus is on having a great time, and using some of the coolest weapons to do it. We are not striving to be realistic, as we believe this simply limits what we can do with the modification.

I wonder if they have a map like rock2 and nuclear?

They have some pretty nice maps...they even have one that looks similar to Avanti. You could always check out the maps in the "Maps" section of the website, or play all of them in a LAN game once you have the game.

PS: Sorry to everyone who thinks I am coming across as advertising this mod LOL. I just really like it that much.

So far so good I like what i'm hearing about this new mod. I finished downloading and i'm going to see how good this is.

When I tried to play Desert Crises I've gotten this error message saying my dll, and maps differs from the server. Maybe I should use my Roxio GoBack to revert my hard drive before I installed that on my PC.

You have to download the new 1.1 patch in addition to the full version. Theyre both on the website.
