HL Day of Defeat v1.1

What happened to that Russian Front mod, it was out like 12 months before CS reared it's ugly head & it should have ownzzored, but it just vanished. What giveth?

Being able to shoot straight, consistantly, and kill people in a very small number of shots brings a startling amount of realism to the mod, believe it or not.

Also, there's sweet stuff all bunnyhopping (you "turtle" after one jump).

Playing that map with the Allies rushing the beach - as Allies - gave me a horrible, horrible image of what it must have really been like in WW2 far better than Saving Private Ryan ever did (dispite the gore in SPR). You respawn, splash out of the water and barely 5 steps on the sand and everything goes black.

In real life I hear you don't get respawns :(

this mod rules.

Even your two Dads dig DOD...

This mod would have been so much more popular had they made it for Quake3 instead of Half Life.

Anyone still playing HL is more then likely playing Counter-Stike.

Anyone who has Quake3, might be playing RA3, but is more likely waiting on a new mod to come out and give them a reason to play Quake3.

Here's my take on DoD: Very cool. I have tried other mods for games since doom and most of them suck. DoD however, I got into very quickly. I actually got into it much faster than CS since I wasn't spending 3 minutes trying to figure out what if the weapon I had was better than the one I could pick up. Anyways...

I only played 3 maps in DoD, since getting on a server was pretty tough those first couple days of release, but 2 of them were really cool. The other one had the "Spawn" bug that made everthing 100% chaos. Anyways the upshot of the game is you start and choose a class, like a heavy soldier, medium soldier, or light, or sniper. Then you have to either take and hold ground, like a TFC checkpoint map, or prevent the opposing team from reaching a certian objective. The damage model is more like CS where bullets *really* hurt, and you pay a time penalty (go sit in the corner) when you die. The maps and game design are the best parts of the game. It was great fun being a German sniper on the Beachhead map and sniping from the bluff. And hiding in the rubble for a passing enemy on the city siege-type map.
On the downside, the models are somewhat rough, but passable. And there are (or were) bugs in the inital release.
Upshot: This is a definate try-out. It may or may not be for you, but it is worthy of your downloading time.

I can't find any servers runnin 1.1, heh oh well.
I always jump the gun and update right away.
judge

yeah, it's actually more fun that way, I always get pwned when I play as Axis on that map dod_omaha

6 9 ? !!! who wants some man chowder???

Just played it. Every server I found with a good ping was full. Damn. Got on an 8 player server with a 172 ping, it was pretty fun, I suck at it, the graphics suck, but other than that, it was fun gameplay wise.

when do mod/game makers realize that though everyone has internet access (are there people that don't?), everyonce in a while one enjoys to play in a lan.

so what exactly is this mod about?

Beta? For a product that is this many years old?

So is this the version that makes the game...

fuck it.

I dunno what the changes are... some new voice commands I saw... oh yeah.

The map spawn is fixed too.

so is this mod any good?

Yes play this mod. The ladies will love you! And gay men too.

fixes/changes?

oh hell yeah baby!! its DoD time...

I already had my 1st today, so I can handle thie defeat.

steve's lying! chicks only dig you if you play TacOps for UT!

(or Xtreme Paintbrawl)

oh well...

anyhow on topic - half life rocks is this a single player mod? i love single player
