Day of Defeat: Source

[bosch]

The HL1 classic Day of Defeat was retooled for Half Life 2. It was released last night. It's different, but still fun. It's not free, but it's cheap $19?

As with any FPS that jumps ahead nearly ten years in technology, there is updated graphics, it utilizes the HL2 physics engine which is cool and the gameplay has changed signifigantly.

I played about three hours last night. I noticed a few differences, here they are:

* Garand and Kar personnel no longer have pistols or grenades. Instead they have grenades that attach to the end of the rifle and you can shoot long distances. Also, both have iron sights. You have a knife in your right hand, you can slice and also punch with the left.

* BAR has two grenades, no more throwing on the ground to prime, just pull the pin and hold it.

That's all the troop changes I can remember.

Other things like when you take a flag, it displays in the same area of the screen where the kills go, but it shows that you and X people took flag Y.

Grenades that go off near you, that do not kill you make your ears ring and head wobble.

Valve sucks, they piggy backed on the success of others.

[Eomer]

Right, because the "others" made Half-Life right? And they were forced by the "others" into actively supporting and encouraging a large mod community to experiment with new gameplay using their own technology.

Valve Bought the rights to Dod before it reached a 1.0 release,I think they bought it in beta 3.1 or something.If anyone played it back then,which I doubt either of you have,they would recall that it was quite a bit different than when it got it's first offical release as DoD 1.0 which by that point was firmly a Valve release.

At best the original Mod was a basic template.

CS on the other hand was a firmly established game,though it's most successful version was again a version introduced and maintained by Valve.


I pre-loaded DoD have not had a chance to play it yet,though I hear it's a bit different than 1.3 or whatever the last version was for HL1 Engine.Some say for the better,more say for the worst,same basic opinions as CS:S source.

Old School DoD players want to pretend they are badass like they are in a small group of people that discovered the game or something,forgetting that hundreds of thousands played it.And so they put the new version down,much like CS 1.6 players.

Though this rhetoric is common amongst all genres of online gaming I suppose.

I really like it, way better than CS:S. It's something I will be playing for a while.

[Ronne]

Is Overlord still balls ass crazy fun? I may have to buy HL2 finally, CS Source I really wasn't interested in, but DoD was a major addiction for me.

[bosch]

Only four maps:

anzio
donner
flash
avalanche

[Ronne]

Fuck it then, Overlord was the bestest.

[Cybsled]

They'll probably add Overlord in a future patch, much like they've been adding classic CS maps to source.

Valve don't owe you anything.

I've played DoD:S for only a good five minutes, and damn did rifle users get the shaft in this one.

Oh, and they broke all third party mods with the release of DoD:S. Including Dystopia. Bastards.
