  1. What no Mac Version by norwoodites · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Why is there a x86 Linux version but no Mac Version?

  2. New gameplay by Openadvocate · · Score: 2, Interesting

    The important part, is there any new gameplay?
    From scanning the guide I'd say yes. I am looking forward to playing as "Covert OpS", I always liked blowing up enemy sentry guns in TFC.
    Besides from that, I must say that Desert Combat is providing a lot of new fun stuff too for BF1942, although in alpha stage and team strength/weapon balancing still are a bit off, and some strange errors, it's nice to see that we can expect more from the bf1942 platform that has many cool features but the original WW2 concept is getting old.

  4. Doesn't require original RtCW? by mahdi13 · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Could someone explain how that works? I realize that this is made by the same people that made RtCW, but skimping out of the original engine doesn't seem right. It's a faily new engine (tweaked off of Quake 3, but updated) so I don't see how/why they would do this.

  5. Re:30fps *is* slow by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 1, Interesting

    not in quake 3 (or quake 3 engine games), because the physics is fps dependant....you jump higher with 120 fps than with any lower or higher fps (except for 333 and some other strange values).
