Well, Desert Combat 1.0 Final is out, even though the installer calls it beta 3 and even though it's still not up on the official site, there's a changelog here and you can grab a torrent of it here.

It seems to be full of subtle but noticable changes. The sounds are much improved. There's a lot of silly stuff fixed like the maneuverability of the heavy choppers and the way stingers work is a fair bit better too. Lots of nice touches all in, I like it a lot. It hasn't sufficiently changed to stop Slim bleating about it but it's still an astounding game and worth dusting off for another round.

If you fuckers ever download it...
