I always loved the SCUD...I hope it is just as good as it was in DC :)

[Dr.D]

I rememeber on 73 Eastings once that thing got pointed at US Main it was all over for them

[NoFear|Evan]

The design looks pretty simple to me, i hope they re skin it.

[HaVOCK-ElEEt]

LOL, SImple? I was about to say the exact opposite. That SCUD looks amazing!!!

Can you lock onto a target from an arty call with this bad boy, that would be cool.

I cant wait for this mod, get me a first release please. :)

[Warbird]

Agreed,
Skin looks stretched...needs to be redone.

Remember... think DC... ;)

[[21cw]Napalm]

that map sure looks like El Alamein =)

[b` m3ow]

Skin is WAY scretched... looks good, i hope it justs like the Arty commander type thingy.. re-do skin :)

[ammar]

allahu akbar !! this is just GREAT !

but this is not the SCUD-B ... it's the Al-Hussein missile .. (search on google for the Alhussein missile and you will see what i mean)

[HaVOCK-ElEEt]

Dont you dare redo that skin (I know you wont). I want low lag, good looks, great gameplay.

If it plays and feels more Like DC than BF2, then it will be my new drug. I want to SCUD the flippin eastings flag point so bad,lol. From that ridge behind the wall, the no mans land. Now you are talking good maps, bring it to me.

Is there going to be a Inshallah Valley? gasp and drool :nod:

[troybob]

needs cup-holders

Uh?...why a skin could cause lag?

[HaVOCK-ElEEt]

']Uh?...why a skin could cause lag?

Well I have no idea, butim sure you do, so why be sarcastic?

Using the same thought line, a skin wont improve gameplay either will it? :p

[Ninjo]

IMO the skin on the launcher looks fantastic, the missile looks rather under DCon's normal standards.

[TeLe-LoE-]

Looks 2D lol

[Lobo[FH]]

No, it won't improve gameplay but will improve graphic quality, atmosphere and inmersion, so better gameplay + graphic quality, no?

No, a skin doesn't cause lag if it has the same size, two skins, with the same size, one done by the best skinner of world and other done by a 3 years old kid have the same impact in performance.

[HaVOCK-ElEEt]

Well I think it looks great, and if it plays and feels like a DC style vehicle, then I got some pay pal for you dcon dudes *exit bribe statement*

[The Defeatest]

Are you telling me that there is no way a skin could cause lag??
Now I know nothing about skinning, but if you used an insanely high res pic to skin something, would that not cause lag?? maybey video lag? is that it?

Just curious:)

[imported_DMXSNOW]

Why would the Iraqies have a white launcher? A desert camo would be realistic IMO.

[Ninjo]

Defeatest, listen to what the man says.

"two skins, with the same size"

If you put like a 4056x4056 skin on it, it would lag really bad. As long as the UV map is the same size, it doesn't change performance at all, period.

[Dr.D]

Alot of people think it looks bad for different reasons when its just because of the color of the skin

[Doctor Venture]

Wow thats great you got the scud ingame!!!
Why aren't the support legs down while your launching.. Thats a big no-no, even the limited what was once called the Iraqi army knows that.
"Hey Ali, you want to make Saddam happy, just hold out that white flag over there!"

SIGH...for allah sake. Another pointless comments from the Doctor Ace ventura.

was just thinking the same!

[Apostle]

This brings back memories. Good memories! :D

[IMcured]

imo i think this mod has always looked poor just look at the skins for it, it wud be surprising if it gets any better. old dc game was good but when u dont have same crew re-making it its gonna be a struggle :(

o well.

Feel free to apply for the team and show us how it's done. :rolleyes:

Just be glad he didnt mention your Grammar, Sinister doesnt take kindly to such violent sttacks on the written word, lol.

To say the old DC game was "good" in such a passing and small way is also a small form of sacrilige.

Gotta disagree there man. The Dcon team has shown some very nice stuff. One thing that is tough to get across in mod news releases is the gameplay. They have some really talented guys working on just that. With the amount of work they are putting in, I have a feeling that the mod is gonna be very fun to play. Scud looks nice guys. I can already see it taking out the plane campers on El Al.

Thanks for the kind words, Mr. McGee.
And yes, the SCUD is even more deadly this go around. Beautiful sight it is. You can actually see it flying through the air, and the detonation! The testers have had it for a few days now, too bad BF2 doesn't allow "riding" vehicles like DC did, lol. Believe me, last night we tried a good while to ride the SCUD missle. LMAO :D

[Cyrus2000]

That sounds friggin awesome salad man.

I want to drive that SCUD so bad, and to see it fly over head while I am at the center base on El Al, goose bumps guys, pure goos bumps.

*goes to play some DC, needs a fix of the Desert and violence*

[{RR}SinisterCaesarSalad]

The current build for it has just a single seat. For all you DC vets that means no one to jump in and drive off while you're in trying to shoot. I'm interested in your feedback on that if you like it that way, or if we should code it with driver & launcher positions like in DC. The Howie's currently this way as well.

[HaVOCK-ElEEt]

Leave it single seater, perfect plan!!

I would spit venom on people who took off in my scud, after hiding it, and lining up for a perfect volley of death.

DC fun, with some tweaks and new direction on this engine, its exactly what I want. It might even get me back into this series, and off of Oblivion, :rolleyes: .

So far, nothing else has.

[Fullforce]

Woopsie. I think I just made a warm patch in my pants.



Looks awesome.

I kinda agree. Some are done very well like the AC-130, A10, Apache, MK23, M249, Stealth and AH-6. but others are ugly like the SCUD, Harrier, MP5(wtf is up with the reciever?), Glock(barrel doesnt stick out like that) and the T72. But this mod should be some fun.

Excellent idea, keep it single seat. As a former DC scud whore, nothing worse than having some idiot trying to drive away or using the launcher for BSing.

[Supertech]

looks like axis base on El Al but buildings ar too far apart.... and theyre WWII buildings. Scud looks great though...sweet ride..!!

[Karl]

Its just missing the chrome spinners to make it totally pimp.

1 order of ROASTED COALITION comming up!!!

There it is cruising along. From the Opp base to the Coal base. 1000m+ away..

I dont generally post in here anymore but I'd thought what the hell I'll post and do something I NEVER do.. Post an image.. Enjoy!!

[CATIA]

OMG, it looks like 73easting. Awesome, long live the arty whores (as long as the fly boys cover them lol).

[LahLahSr]

Looks like a bunch of infidels will paying for their interruption of Iraqi business in Africa, yet again!!!

Time for the old "Allah-ha-ha-ha-haaaaaaa" as lines of text will announce the mass killings of babyfaced wanna-be A10 pilots waiting in line on the runway..eh he heee

...some of us call that map "El Allahmein" for a reason, you know.

Fabulous job there - another piece of the DCON puzzle coming together. Can't wait to play it!!

"skin looking stretched"...pfffftttt
"mod doesn't look good"...double-pffft

If you didn't like Desert Combat for Battlefield 1942, then maybe - just maybe your insolence is excusable...other than that I can't think of anything that will save you from an eternity of damnation. Well, except maybe if you really are a developer from another mod who is optimistic enough to see your mod as a competitor to DCON..lol. Nonetheless your karma will forever be tarnished...

Cheers :laugh:

[b` m3ow]

that in-game looks awsome of the missle flying, But make sure you can some how add the Legs that fold down to hold the SCUD launcher in place when it fires :)
