Day of Defeat: Source Approaching Beta

Chris D · Feb 22, 2005

I'll never get tired of the times when I open up my e-mail client and see a message delivered to my "Valve" folder, containing the subject "For immediate release". Here's what Doug Lombardi has to say:

Day of Defeat: Source, Valve's World War II-themed multiplayer action game, is approaching beta and will be available early this spring via Steam. A team-based multiplayer game that cast players in the Axis vs. Allies battles of Western Europe circa 1944, Day of Defeat: Source leverages the power of the Source engine to introduce integrated physics simulation technology, all new audio, updated maps, enhanced effects and more. More information about Day of Defeat: Source will be released in the coming weeks. For more information on Steam, please visit www.steampowered.com

Included with the press release are two new pics of Day of Defeat: Source which you can view below:[br]

Haha, and I was wondering just yesterday what the hell happened to this.

Roland Deschain · Feb 22, 2005

Took long enough, just when DM was getting boring.

thehunter1320 · Feb 22, 2005

wait... i thought DOD:S was gonna be a total conversion, new models and all... that looks like original DOD :x

B-MAn · Feb 22, 2005

:O looks wayy better than the orginal

Lazy_Moron · Feb 22, 2005

Good job valve. Keep it up

Chris D · Feb 22, 2005

Here we go... cue the "it's not good enough" rubbish. Be happy you in-grates!!

homeobocks · Feb 22, 2005

Is it just me, or do I see two screens from Half-Life 1 DOD?

X|Rolando · Feb 22, 2005

I also see the hl1 engine! n000

Look at the weapons!
Look at the textures!
Look at the models!
Look at the hands! THE HANDS! BLOODY HELL!!!

...The maps dont look too bad though

Atomi · Feb 22, 2005

I too was expecting a graphical overhaul. Well, maybe I'll buy it anyway. Ragdolls and DoD grenades = :sniper: And the "all new audio" part sounds good.

Agent.M · Feb 22, 2005

This is great news and I am usualy quite optimistic but Im gonna have to agree those screens look good but those character models :| they look like they are directly from regular DoD, hopefully its just the way they were takin.

looks purdy. dunno if i'll get it yet or not though.

Some_God · Feb 22, 2005

The thing I saw first were the hands... ARGGG! The second thing: This looks like the HL1 engine. I don't know if I want to dish out money just for ragdolls.

{Neoblade} 111 · Feb 22, 2005

Those hands look totally 13333333333333337!!!!11111

I will NEVER ever buy that game.

RabidJester · Feb 22, 2005

Considering that it's not yet at beta, maybe the new character models aren't finished yet?

Xune · Feb 22, 2005

Forget the hands what's up with the length of their arms?

Skins leave a lot to be desired with while the maps are the usual source inspired fair.

^Ben · Feb 22, 2005

Moddelers from the community can overhaul them.

Hopefully we will get some information in the weekly steam update.

D€vIL² · Feb 22, 2005

I hope they have better models

Yeah. Like they do in CS:S? "Hey... look at that new skin lolz... its a new AK!" "Neg, its just an AK painted silver" "LOLOLOLOLOLLZ

"

:dozey:

Yeah just like the rest of CSS character models!!! :flame:

Does it really really matter?

Our lives don't depend on it.

Well excuse me Mr.3000... posts... man...errr... *looks around* *runs away*

DESSTROYER · Feb 22, 2005

AHHHHHHHHH! THE HANDS!

does it require a special version to play it?

Atomi · Feb 22, 2005

Omg wtf I just noticed their hands go through their weapons! What is this wizardry

gh0st · Feb 22, 2005

Doesnt look as good as I'd hoped. Oh well, its not like I'm not going to play it.

elg2001 · Feb 23, 2005

considering the incredible delay they placed on its development, the quality of the models are garbage. i'm gonna talk to my contact at valve and ask her what the DOD:S plans are.

i'm still hoping for HL:S deathmatch!!!!

nutcrackr · Feb 23, 2005

Well perhaps they aren't as polished in the area as the CS:S team were, and anyway people the gameplay is what matters as many people like the first game and it has (to be fair) very old graphics now compared to games it competes with.

Unfortunately for me I hate the gameplay

Vegeta897 · Feb 23, 2005

This DoD:S can be TOTALLY worth it, if it had vehicles.

This sucks, you are right, it just looks like the damn old thing.. :sniper:

dod wouldnt be the same if it had vehicles: it would suck. If you want vehicles buy battlefield 1942.

jerin222 · Feb 23, 2005

Not impressed at ALL its the same thing. With the added ":Source" after it.

diluted · Feb 23, 2005

Looks kinda shitty IMO. Who gets to play the beta, anyway? Gold and Silver HL2 package owners only, I presume?

kmack · Feb 23, 2005

Seeing as it's not EVEN IN BETA, I'm going to let the archaeic models slide, the maps look nice enough, and we can hope the models will be touched up some before the "spring release" (I assume they mean Spring Pacific Standard Time, which, for the rest of us means anytime between Fall and Never.). It'll be nice to get back to DoD gameplay, and I think all of us can use some time away from CS and DM

.

You get what you paid for.

That's what they said it would be.

azz0r · Feb 23, 2005

I dont care how you spin this, its an ugly disapointment.

cereal · Feb 23, 2005

Shens said:

They said it would be the exact same thing as DoD only with Source in its name? Where?

I'm kinda disappointed by this, but its just the graphics, not important.

True dat!....however there is still some time so here's to hoping, I mean comon if they can do it with css they can do it with DoDs!

In the DoD:S question thread in the DoD forums. It's gone now for some reason.
