There are 2 control points on the map. Capturing both starts the ticket counter. Also there
are Helicopters for both sides. These are the Gazelle and the Little Bird. Neither have
Hellfire rockets as I thought that would be a little unbalance for game play. Both sides
have a lot of armor for some good tank battles. Also the M82 ( Barrett 50 ), VSS, SMAW, MP5,
and the Iraqi stinger spawn kit are in the game. Along with the new US Stryker vehicle and
the Iraqi EE-9 vehicle. Hope you have fun playing it and enjoy.

One other thing that I have done. I have taken out the spwan kits. All except the VSS spawn
kit. There are 5 of them in the game. The others I took out. These spawn kits are the ones
that have several weapons in a case. There is a problem with them. They work just find in
game but the case they sit it is missing so it appears they are floating in mid air. When
testing the level they so up in their case like they are suppose to but in online play they
appear to float in mid air. From what I have gotten from the BF1942 - DC community there is
no fix for this yet. So I replaced them with the kit that are just lying on the ground. They
seem to be working correct. Only thing is you only get one weapon insteal of a case of three
as in the case with the SMAW and Stingers. So here's what kits are in there, CAR15, M82,
single SMAW, single Stinger, and the VSS kit (2 in a case). Again the VSS will appear to be
floating in mid air but it works just fine.

Just use the same install path about or wherever you have it insatll and place the rfa file
there. It will ask you if you want the replace the existing file. Just click yes. Now your
ready to go.

Special thanks to Clan IR8 and to DC Band of Brothers for letting know the problems on the
level.
