Is it time yet? I keep hearing this echo across my msn screens and in my ears on TS. First off let me begin by saying this..
DCON was started with the thought of trying to recreate a feeling that we as BF2 players now haven't had since the days of DC. After Bf2 was dropped on us.. It felt lacking. Some of the players stuck to Bf2 happy with playing for stats and unlocks. Some felt, well, out of place. The skill that once was, was no more. The fun that once was had, disappeared. DCON heard the cries of the community early on in its development before I was here. After taking over the helm and the team growing and shrinking and growing again. We pressed on with the single goal of making BF2 fun once again. We started working on CTF.. A game mode that wasn't included with BF2. The fans downloaded it and played it.. Enjoying it. However it was lacking.. It was lacking that which was. Vehicles and weaponry and maps that are all familiar to us all who had played DC. So we started our work on getting those things together. The current team faced alot of criticism for inheriting a mod that was trying to bring back the game play of DC.. We've taken our knocks and kept going. YOU the community was there for us right from the start.. You guys have been a pivotal part of what DCON is.. You the Fans! This was made for you.. This was made to give you back something that has been lost for nearly 2 yrs. This was made so that you can dust off you bf2 discs that you've tucked away cause you were waiting for this moment to dust them off. THIS WAS MADE FOR YOU!
You wanted skill to come back to the game. Done
You wanted dumbfire missles for handheld aa, ground based aa, and for aircraft. Done
You wanted CTF. Done
You wanted classic maps to play this all on. Done
You wanted familiar vehicles. Done and still adding more.
You wanted Artillery brought back to the player. DONE!
We have bent this engine to our will. Some areas its not so flexible and we just have to work around them. Other areas it is and we've exploited it. Its been an up hill battle making this. But its been worth ever single waking hour we've put into it. BECAUSE YOU ALL DESERVE IT! This mod was created with the fans in mind this was created just for you all. We exist because of you. Without the fans, we are nothing. No mod can be anything without a fan base. WE have the best fans in the world. No one can tell you all otherwise.
YOUR WAIT IS OVER!
As i stated in a previous post made sometime ago. When you saw the release of the promo video you would know that the wait was over and a release was comming. IT IS TIME.. As of tomorrow evening at 7pm est I will be releasing the server files to the public.
THATS RIGHT!!! I AM RELEASING THE SERVER FILES TO THE PUBLIC TOMORROW AT 7PM EST..
So the next question is. When is DCON being released..
that answer..
FRIDAY March 30th I will be releasing the client files at 4pm est.
Thurs is Kiffs BDay So i want you all to be wishing him a happy bday.. He and alot of the other guys have busted their ass to get this ready to be released to you all.
So.. with that being said.. I have a few more things to add.
We have some known issues. They will be addressed with a patch shortly after release.. cant give you an exact date of when, but they will be addressed.
We found some lag on DS and EL AL for some testers. Come to find out It was exported with old tools and it added 5x's the faces.. So a total of about 50k extra faces for the factory and the hangar together. We caught this last min and it would have taken us quite some time to fix and all. Its liveable. Hell DC forgot the network info for the apache on their release.. LOL..
There are a few other things that you may find that you like or dont like.. We will be opening a suggestion thread for the public to post their thoughts about what they would like to see changed or adjusted that will addressed if they are small enough in the patch that will have the fixes for the maps after release.
I didnt want this to come as a surprise to everyone as they were playing and wonder what the issues were..
Most of all guys. Enjoy the party.. Friday night the devs will be rolling across multiple servers playing with the community.. We will make our schedule for this over the comming days so that you guys can join some of us playing..
So with this all being said.. Thank you all for your support. Thank you all for your help. Thank you all for your comments. And most of all thank you all for being our biggest fans.. HERE'S TO YOU ALL.. HERE'S TO OUR FANS!!
