"use the .50 cal machine guns "

They converted .50 cals into machine guns?

[Steve]

50 cal mg's in df 1 2 lw and tfd, why not :P

[DevilDog#1]

Which 50 cal are you talking about boy? I snipe with it and never used it as a squirt gun!

[Matt]

Not sniper rifles, .50 cals from LW and TFD that are fixed to the ground. Auto shooting guns.

[DevilDog#1]

Hmmm ... Never came across 'em ... Where were they used in LW and TFD? Maps I mean?

Progressive Spawn Points - Players can "capture" neutral spawn points to add additional spawn locations.


what does that mean?

[frogman*PR*]

it means there are points out there that neiter team owns right. Your team can make its way to that point and capture it and as along as ur team owns it , you can spawn from there.

humm... my first computer is burned out... exactly mainboard and cpu... aaarrrgh... so what does i need to play the new BHD??? perhaps it will run at one of my older computers... i hope so...

I believe the specs are pretty much same as the Beta. The minimum specs were:

Processor: 1 Ghz processor
Memory: 256 Mb
A 3D Graphics Acceleration card G4

So its pretty much like if you could play the Beta you should be safe

is anyone making any custom maps for this yet like they did for the first beta?

[DevilDog#1]

Well we haven't received any yet ... so can't say for sure

Devildog has gone mad.
50cal is not the name of a gun its the description of a bullet.
The shielded gun emplacements were 50 Calibre bullets. (sorry caliber for you tran-at junkies).

Also I dont have a 1 gig processor and the BHD demo worked at full pelt for me.

Sry z, had to do it.

*Yawn*

Well, I could only host the Beta and couldn't join the public servers ... and I have a 933Mhz with 353 MB RAM and a super duper V card card so it would be safe to say the specs I wrote above are based on realism

Is this going to be better? Or is it just another version that we can say in a week or two, "There are too many cheaters!" I am really getting tired of the changes myself. It appears to me that one should make one game whole and protected before creating another problem area. Although, I do appreciate the changes in pace that the newer games allow us to have. I am not knocking the progress of gaming. I am just venting my concerns of all of these freaking games. I can't afford them all.....LOL I have three now that I do not play, just because I cannot spend sufficient time training. What ever happened to Commanche 4.....That is an awesome game that seemed to die out in forums all across the web. It is difficult to fly those freaking things, but its fun.

This was just another freaking post about nothing from your ole pal. C U
