The DesertCombat team is pleased to announce the seventh major public release of DesertCombat. We would like to thank our Beta team and fans for all the feedback.

One of the primary goals of DC.7 was optimization and bug fixes, so you can expect DesertCombat to run a lot better on most machines.

We are also including bot support for Basrahs Edge and it is a lot of fun...

Optimization
Since this mod is a work in progress, some optimizations have been made to the models for performance. You might experience a slight slowdown due to the fact that we haven’t done a full optimization pass yet.

Balancing
Currently the game feels balanced, but some things may destroy objects faster then they should, the game will continually balance out as the mod progresses. This goes for speed of vehicles, weapon damage and amount of ammo.

Maps
Only maps that display a small DC logo in them have DC vehicles. This is only temporary until new maps are created. Some new DC maps do not support single player yet, coming soon.
