Hey Lovely Flipper!

Saw you visited my server as well yesterday!

Glad to have you back around in the game. We need every player we can get back into the 1942 community.

Do you use discord by chance?

We helped them set up their server, just for some of their guys to advertise against us. Not a good look.

They learned it isn't as easy to grow a server, as they have had a total of 0 players in the last 2 months, however they weren't maybe the best about showing gratitude when they were helped...

Have a custom maps event this Saturday Mamba, trying our best.

Also, Summer sees a decrease, as people can go out and about... rather than being cooped up inside all day.

So it'll pick up as the Summer nears an end.

Just spreading the word and doing what I can till then smile

Hey all!

Just an honest question here from someone who has helped keep the Desert Combat mod alive for quite some time...

Do people actually enjoy the mod?

Are there people who would play the mod, but just don't think there are servers?

Is there anyone here who would want to play Desert Combat, or versions of it?

Desert Combat seems to be dying, with the loss of Maxnet a year back, the loss of ea117 to almost nothing, and the recent crashing and IP change of -[HELLO]- Desert Combat... have all but dwindled the numbers of PvP Desert Combat playing to all but nothing. About three months ago 43 players were on a single server for Desert Combat, but now a good day is somewhere in the 10-15 range, much less than what the DC community has enjoyed in the recent past. I want to get those numbers back up to where they belong and once were. I haven't given up faith, and I am trying to reach out to anyone that wants to support this mod and continue the great legacy it holds.

If anyone would like to explore the greatness that Desert Combat provides, then contact me personally or join the following;

Hello All,

I'd like to formally invite you to a couple of things.

To join in our Weekly events here at Hello Clan!

Also, to join our ever growing and active discord community!

Every week we have been playing the pirates mod on our BF1942 server. We have seen major success week in and week out, with an average peak of 20 players. With this ongoing success, we decided it'd be best to add another weekly event on Saturdays. The mod of choice is the Desert Combat mod. I have made custom DCF maps, and TONS of server-side mods for desert combat. This is a perfect chance for you to join in for some DCF action on Saturdays!

Times for the Events?

2:00 PM EST - 6:00 PM EST

6:00 PM GMT - 10:00 PM GMT

Same times for both Saturday and Sunday!

Saturday's event is Desert Combat. Sunday's event is battlefield pirate's mod.

Come join our great community here at Hello Clan, we play every weekend, and get hit and miss crowds during the week for vanilla/rtr/sw maps.

Link for Discord: https://discord.gg/8DE9sCuQQN

Link for website: https://www.helloclan.eu/

*** Important ***

For our DC events, you may need to install my 7 custom maps, if we choose to run them. They are going to be in the maplist, so while you will be able to play the generic DC maps, you will be booted when we run a custom one.

Link/guide for my maps: https://www.helloclan.eu/resources/43/

Follow the google drive link in the guide for access to all my maps smile

If you want to join us during our popular pirates' events, then you'll need the pirate's mod installed.

I hope to see you around, feel free to reach out to me with any questions!

Let's grow this game! Join Hello Clan Today!

Take out the bots abilities to “prone”, and their ability to target aircraft.

Makes it much more fun.

They are more active when they cannot lay down, the snipers aren’t insta kill anymore.

Also set the skill at 73% after taking out prone and the anti air abilities from tanks. Makes them the best yet.

We could probably hit 128/128, play The bigger maps like Midway… full crews on ships…

Maybe El Al with more tank spawns etc, etc. would be pretty fun I think.

Especially since it’s the 19th anniversary of 1942… something to think about.

Your custom maps with 128 players would be sick. Someone like BlueDrake, with the following that he has, could probably bring a bunch of players to an event like this.


My Act of Valor Jungle map would be absolutely insane with 128 people. That map would be freaking nuts with that many people.

#13 Re: BF1942 Discussion » What happened to the AX server » 2021-08-26 06:25:20

Once that master server is gone...

This game is going to become battlfield vietnam, where 90% of remaining players bail.. .thinking that all the servers are gone forever...

Very few people will think to just "add server" and join via IP. Let alone know/ obtain the IP's... GameTracker will be needed..

I hope we as a BF1942 community can keep the master server up for as long as the game lives. When it's gone, we are losing hundreds of players/randoms that visit our servers daily. You'll still have your dedicated players that know how to join via IP, with their respective communities... but the whole "maybe some randoms will join" yeah kiss that goodbye.

Sad sad....

We will be playing the Desert Combat Final Mod, and along with that we will be incorporating eight custom made maps. We might only pick a few. but we would appreciate if you installed the whole map pack folder, so it doesn't limit our choices.

Seven of the eight maps were created by BangBangOw, the other map was created by Jim2102.

There are a few things you will need to play in this event.

1. A copy of Battlefield 1942 (http://team-simple.org/download/Battlefield_1942.zip)

3. Desert Combat Final Mod (https://www.moddb.com/mods/desert-comba … nal-update)

The Above Links will install a copy of Battlefield 1942, and the necessary Desert Combat Mods to play in this event. Now all you need is the custom maps that we will incorporate.
