metadigital Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 http://www.steampowered.com/Steam/Marketing/DODS_fw_notice It is still a silly name for a game, though. Who wants to play a game where you lose? They should have called it "Day of the Turning Point in the War", or "The Day that Mattered". ...

alanschu Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 Does DOD come free for those that bought gold pack, or collector's edition, or anything like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Llyranor Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 Gold and Silver Steam edition, yes. Everything else including Collector's, no. (Approved by Fio, so feel free to use it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jumjalum Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 DoD: Source is actually a lot of fun, although it's way too fast for a WW2 game and the weapons need looked at (it's too easy to run around spraying bullets with the assault class, the US rifle is a lot harder to use than the Axis one). A few more maps, including a couple of the dynamic ones where the spawns move back and forward, and a bit more love and it could be a classic. We now bring you live footage from the World Championship Staring Final. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanschu Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 I remember the original release.....apparently the Normany landings were all fought with sniper rifles! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metadigital Posted February 8, 2006 Author Share Posted February 8, 2006 But, the German tech was better than the allied stuff. Also, is there a SP narrative to play, or is it just MP?

alanschu Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 It's typically been just MP in the past. I suspect it's a lot like CS:S and will just be MP as well. With respect to the rifles, the German MP44 was a very, very effective rifle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metadigital Posted February 8, 2006 Author Share Posted February 8, 2006 I thought I read somewhere that there is a SP module to play ..?

metadigital Posted February 8, 2006 Author Share Posted February 8, 2006 It's not a new thing for Source, it is part of the original game (if it exists at all). I found it quite bizarre when I read it, so I didn't download DoD to see. (My harddrive is currently full of other fun things to play.)

Arclam Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 DoD and DoD:Source are the only multiplayer shooters that I have ever played on a regular basis. Heck, with the exeption of NWN they are the only multiplayer games at all that I have played on a regular basis. DoD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Llyranor Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 Hehe, I woke up at 3AM to play the game that day Took almost an hour to preload the final part before the game would launch (Approved by Fio, so feel free to use it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metadigital Posted February 8, 2006 Author Share Posted February 8, 2006 I remember the nightmare (the cipher took about an hour to decrypt all the game files). Since then I have re-installed HL2 after a complete hd rebuild in a few minutes (less than five, iirc): Steam is a revolutionary product.

alanschu Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 I like the idea of steam. They just underestimated it for HL2 launch. I bought the collector's edition, and it was quite frustrating to wait upwards of an hour just for the game to unlock. Eventually it just timed out, said it would let me play on a provisional basis, and would ask for me to log in at a later time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Llyranor Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 I love Steam, especially its support for more niche games such as Ragdoll Kungfu, Darwinia and Dangerous Waters. (Approved by Fio, so feel free to use it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
