Hey, all of your DOD Source fans. I thought I would start the first thread to get the ball rolling.

Do you guys think that dod: s will stick to the basic capture the points? I mean... if its got tanks etc... It may be hard to keep that close combat feel to the whole game.

What are you expecting?
 
I expect it to take a similar path as Red Orchestra. Some maps will have vehicles whereas some won't in order to keep that close combat feel.
 
I'm expecting to invade France in friggin Higgins boats man!!

I'm expecting a huge D-Day map with a better layout this time around, and I hope artillery and mortars play a bigger part in that map. Less snipers, more infantry!

Edit: by the way the thread title can be misinterpreted... "Let's start, thongs off!" :laugh:
 
There will be vehicles?

If that's true I might play it
 
I don't think we'll see vehicular combat in the official maps.
 
well if we are starting with our thiongs off, its gonna be a bloody cold war... Expect a draft :)
 
I expect lots of fun. I don't think there will be vehicles, but personally I don't want them either.
 
DoD:S will be the same as CS:S, just a pretty verson of the old mod.. I dont see why people are thinking there will be much more then that, or am I missing something? :)

Either way, Im looking forward to it, played DoD for the first time today (I was bored) and I loved it, even if I got my ass kicked and some girl was spamming crud over voice chat, making everyone else spam back telling her to shut up. I know you can mute people, but still means half of the players just stood around and did nothing but talk. *Note to self, find better servers*
 
Im wishing for a map like the bomber one on call of Duty : United Ofeensive. But thats never gonna happen.

Germans try to shoot down the allied bombers before the time runs out. Allies can use the guns on the B-17s to shoot the germans down. Man that would rock.
 
If they include vehicles I see them as being only escort vehicles. TO get from one place to another. Quickly. I dont even want to imagine people spawn camping with tanks. Ugh.
 
Yeah, but it will be better than css gameplay wise :p
 
DoD:S will be just like DoD is now except with the same upgrades CS got. Same basic game, just upgraded to current standards. At least that's my hope.

I wouldn't mind seeing some custom maps with some vehicles to move infantry, but I don't think there will be any tanks or anything like that. Maybe in another HL2 mod.
 
Everyone here seems to really want Vehicles and massive maps. I really think you would spoil dod completely if it had all these things. The best thing dod does is it puts you by your self. You feel alone in your enviroment. Its got a really good sense of atmosphere. If you had tanks and other things drivi9ng around I think it would really effect how its played. I really want them to keep to close combat style where you have no clue whats around the next corner, always keeping you on guard.
 
i don't know on what kind of servers you play Ichi, but i'm ussualy with a team :)

The one thing they shouldnt change is the dod feeling about it, the damage system and movement etc.
That would ruin it for me
 
I hope they still keep the same gameplay mechanics. I'm sure you can have balanced vehicles and keep the same 'capture' format.
Though hopefully, the changes are only graphical (which would be the best change of all!)
 
I want DoD to stay the same, but i also want somebody to make a bf1942 style mod.

you must have mis understood me. You are obviasly with your team, but you feel alone as an indervidual. It feels like everything around you is real. I mean.... if you was in the war you wouldn't be like "ok my team is there I will be ok" thats what I mean by alone.
 
Im expecting a big change in gun sounds and ambience sound. They even said on that Q/A link someone put that the ambience sounds will mostly be coming from actual combat happening in the map somewhere! that sounds like cooool.

As for gun sounds, they sooo suck right now. I want more realistic gun sounds for sure.

Also...to hell with vehicles.
 
Yeah, sounds will be much better, and "drop your weapons" might make a come back too. Vehicles won't be in there (which is good) cos it's really only a port to the Source engine as many have already pointed out.

I hope they do something about the kevlar arms though for the garand...lol
 
Vehicles will be so much fun with bigger maps, but I would'nt like it to turn into Battlefield, I dont like that game too much, dod is good as it is. Apart from the lack of stuff for British :(
 
Im with Comrade badger on this one... its gonna be a simple port of the original mod...

of course I was expecting alot more, because its not free at all you have to get silver or gold version to play it...

well anyways im getting the gold version (I hate the ATI Coupon :) so gold is gonna cost me only 40$
 
what you people don't realize is that hl2 can support up to 512 players, if i remember well..
