Journal FortKnox's Journal: Desert Combat 17
You know what the great thing is about Desert Combat (a bf1942 mod)??
When a sniper bitch comes around to your home base and starts picking off people that are waiting around for heli's and jets, you can slowly aim your howitzer for some pretty stress-relieving explosions.
I, personally, try to see how high and how far I can make the body fly. I knocked about 4 guys completely across my base last night.
Another fun thing to do is hit circling heli's with a howitzer.... they go 'booom!'.... only bad part is when the rubble falls on a group of guys waiting for heli's and jets...
Honestly, waiting for a helis and jets isn't a good idea, folks (and most idiots jump into the helis and have no idea how to fly them... if you don't know how to fly them (raises hand), then jump in and take a gunner spot! There is nothing more embarassing than a full heli (8 or so guys) lift off and crash before they reach the end of the base)
Anyone else big into desert combat? I usually play on BIG servers that are full of people (like 32-40 max players, almost full, punkbuster enabled, with low ping). If so, I go, surprisingly, by 'fortknox', so come lookin for me... I play after 8pm (EST) on weeknights until about 10.

State of Chaos [stateofchaos.net] for more info.
And I can't fly either. I may try but I specialize in "controlled flight into terrain". Not good.

Not played BF:Vietnam... most BF1942'ers return from it because it doesn't seem 'finished' at all. DC is still EXTREMELY popular in BF1942... I usually find more DC servers than standard BF1942 servers.

I do play both... In fact, I've been playing 'nam a lot more, but lately I've gone back for some DC action. At first I didn't like 'nam as much because the helicopter control was a lot different, but I've become used to it and I actually think it's better, especially since I control with the KB & Mouse.
Oh, and I'm an *EXCELLENT* helicopter pilot (not to brag or anything, but I *AM* damn good). I really like helicopters... My f

I see now that the problem was case (thought it was anyway). Your game name is FortKnox [bftracks.com], not fortknox.
This morning I woke up and found my hard drive to be deathly ill, so I might not be on for a few/several days.
The only thing on it I'm concerned about is

My hard drive is OK. It either overheated or Linux 2.6.6 freaked out for some reason.
I'll try and be online tonight, but I have to help a friend with his PC, so I might not be on until after 8pm PST.
I'll correct your name in the Eye and I'll keep a look out for you.

Well, I obviously missed you. I guess we'll try to catch up next week. I'm busy during the evenings of Tues-Thur tho.. so I'll try for Monday and Friday.

I was on later with a coworker friend. He was tearing it up... I was just doing OK.
I tend to play on servers with fewer than 16 people. Beyond that, my machine [homelinux.net] really starts to crawl... Not sure why exactly, since I figure it's more than capable.
