It's maybe just the servers I've tried, but recently I got back into Desert Combat, since my PC can't run BF2.
There was also some right dipshits on Desert Combat, like any online multiplayer game, but it seems to have got even worse in some cases. I think most of the good players have moved onto BF2 now. It used to be in a map like El Alamein, or 73Easting or whatever that you would have some semblance of tactics. I remember playing maps where you would have a few tanks backed up by IFV's and maybe someone doing artillery support. Meantime you would have air cover along with some air defences.
Now the servers seem filled with plane whores who just stay in the base until an aircraft or heli respawns. Practically no one seems to touch armour, and as for artillery, forget it.
One server that used the El Alamein map had constantly respawning gunships, and the Iraqi side didn't have Hinds anymore, both side used Apaches. Imagine what its like with about six or seven gunships active at one time in each side and no armour.
Pah, unless someone knows some decent servers I doubt I'll be sticking with DC for long.
There's a reason I moved to playing Forgotten Hope. Not modern combat, of course, but the WOLFGaming server is excellent, if you don't mind playing with the best FH players and sometimes getting your butt killed. Like the Evil Food clan. Those guys are good.
