[Gazaridis]

Well, I'm a little excited too. This should hopefully show off what source can do.

why o why wont steam/value release this as a retail game ?
i'm sure they would make a lot more money and introduce a lot of people to the world of steam

[happynoodleboy]

Anyone know how big the download is? Ferking dialup...

And I bet theres no bots :(

[Mordeth]

i guess not noodle tbh. the preload wasnt that big..but i guess it is about the same size as source is? dunno tho....

and Jo3 dunno why, but i agree they should release it as retail....

[Jo3_Pinneapples[CYM]]

they have bots for testing or so i heard but i dont know if they will release the bots starigt away

[geordiedmw]

As a lover of DOD i think this is not going to be any better than source i think valve have arsed up on this one i wait with baited breath for valve to correct all the original source errors on this and to amaze me and astound me!!!!!

[Jo3_Pinneapples[CYM]]

they have learnt a lot from source and i too hope they dont make the same mistakes with DOD
but they have spent a great amount of time testing this out
FFS RELEASE IT IN THE SHOPS YOU GITS !!!!!!!! <--------you will see this every time i post about DOD;S

[Jo3_Pinneapples[CYM]]

as a few might know or have also read it looks like there is going to be a big-ish change to source
We're also planning a release for next week that will update the Source engine to the same version used for Day of Defeat: Source. There are a number of small fixes contained in this release that we'll cover in detail when it's closer to release time

the fact that they wont say now and the wording "Source engine to the same version used for Day of Defeat: Source" makes me think that they deffo have learnt a lot from CS: Source and are making more than a few small changes

[RaydoX]

i pre-ordered mine last night i am a big fan of dod and i think it will be a whole lot better than cs:s,

cs was not a game about havin great graphics etc it was all about speed and no time for soaking up the graphics, dod:s will be mega, war games are just a whole lot better with shit hot graphics and the excellent HL2 engine :)

[Jo3_Pinneapples[CYM]]

its the new improved HL2 engine
but i wont be playing it :'( still a sore point

[Fragstealer]

bit off topic but if u played DOD you may have also played Firearms?

Any1 know if this mod still exists>? used to like it a lot...about 4.5 yrs ago :D and im slowly getting bored with cs again so might switch to another mod....maybe even give DOD a look--did play DOD for a very short time , but i preferred firearms

[Jo3_Pinneapples[CYM]]

if you start up steam and click on 3rd party games it might be there

yep just looked
steam--> play games --> Browse Games ---> 3rd party games--> and scroll down abit
yopu can visit the website and .... well you know what to do from there

[Greenie]

there will be HDR with DoD, that will be so cool, hope they bolt it onto CS:S in some way

Just another excuse to upgrade me graphics card.

[Jo3_Pinneapples[CYM]]

i hope they dont too much info going around the server/my comp as it is

[Mordeth]

Omg..read the review here if u bother signing up http://www.eslive.com/index.php. It is a good review. And i will be playing this on monday for sure:D

[Jo3_Pinneapples[CYM]]

[Mordeth]
