Has Valve given up on DOD S?

[Shamrock]

Valve hasn't added any new content to DOD since last the 28th of June '06, and in all honestly, that is just worthless. Of course they fixed some bugs here and there, but whatever happened to the support we used to love. There used to be a slew of content coming out in the next couple weeks, but that just ended. I haven't heard a damn thing about DOD in over half a year.

Where are my official maps from 1.6? Still in 1.6.
They release new maps before even considering moving over the older maps which still hold more popularity than the new ones.

I want my DODS support back, and I want it now.

Hopefully they have, DoD 1.6 > DoD:S.

 

[Shamrock]

Hopefully they have, DoD 1.6 > DoD:S.

I know.. It is true.

I wish they just ported it over to Source..

I ****ing miss my bayonet.

Hmmm...

Portal + TF2 + Episode 2 + ??? or DoDs

Tough choice.

 

[Naudian]

Wait what? Wasn't the old dod last called 1.3?

Anyway yea they made a bad decision by not bothering re-mapping dod_charlie in source imo...

 

[CookieCuttah]

The game definitely could be improved in many ways, it feels unfinished with its small selection of official maps and lack of guns. It just gets boring even though the general feel is pretty fun.

 

[Mr-Fusion]

Yes. Yes they have given up.

"omg they haven't given up there's an update due in 5 years"

**** off!

 

[StardogChampion]

It's been going downhill since valve took over with 1.0 anyway. I hope it dies.

 

[Iced_Eagle]

I'm sure Valve has the DoD team working on the other projects (TF2, Portal, Ep2) becuase they'd rather get those out the door first rather than worrying about extra free maps for us...

Valve only has so many people and they need to finish getting products out the door before continuing work on post-support unless it's critical (and new maps are not critical though I'm sure you feel they are).

CAEN needs to come back.....that map rules

 

[spazmat]

if they wouldve just ported 1.3 to source instead of making a whole new bad game they would be updating it more :]

 

[Hectic Glenn]

CAEN needs to come back.....that map rules

I agree, and Charlie too. That map on Source would make the game SO much more popular. I don't think it's as much fun as DOD 1.3 - something feels missing.

No, they wouldn't. Your logic fails. They are busy on other projects.

 

[Javert]

Agreed on Caen and Charlie. Them completing those two maps alone and I'll die a happy man.

 

[CyberPitz]

Maybe they realized at how unpopular it was *considering they thought it would be bigger I bet..* and decided to divert attention to much bigger aspects...

No I don't hate DODS, I own it after all..

 

[hungryduck]

DODS is still my favorite multiplayer game.....its the only one I still play since it came out.....

 

[99.vikram]

Right now I'm hooked on R2CW multiplayer...so no DOD for a while!

 

[Qonfused]

I hope they do update it. It's a great game.

 

[Asknoone]

Played it. Hated it.

 

[highlander]

I think its a great game, I hope updates will come soon

 

[CookieCuttah]

Played it. Hated it.

Yeah that's kind of how I felt it. I played for a while and hated it, then I loved it and then hated it again. I guess it depends more on what gun you get, the sniper rifle is nearly always enjoyable everything else is on and off.

It's the guns that make the game feel off, theres too much recoil on the BAR and other guns are just too hard to use. The old BAR was much easier and more fun to use. I can't really comment on the rifles I didn't use them much.

 

[Solaris]

It's awful really dod:s. They took the very finely tuned weapons of old dod, noobed them down, made them easier to use and created a crap game that plays like quake3 areana nerf mod.

 

[sean4rock]

I loved this game, but i've just grown bored of it, I guess for me, there is a lack of appealing servers to play on.

No, I don't think Valve will be updating DoD:S again, they'll obviously keep working on VAC to prevent hackers on DoD:S, but I wouldn't hold your breath for new maps or GameModes, which is a real shame because I think their Search & Destroy GameMode makes for brilliant gameplay on DoD:S.
