New Day of Defeat: Source Movies and Screenshots

[Chris D]

Earlier on, we released a new Day of Defeat: Source video that I took when I was testing out the game earlier on today.[br]Suicide42 has also been play-testing the game on his "uber" gaming machine and out of that we've got two new videos and a myriad of screenshots to keep you going.[br]
Avalanche video | 39 MB | BitTorrent[br]
Anzio HDR video | 36 MB | BitTorrent[br]There's only a few seeders right now, but the download speeds will quickly start to improve as the more of you get it downloaded. Remember to keep the files alive for a bit. I'd also like to thank the 160 people currently seeding the last one we released! Now for the screenshots:[br]

****​

[br]There's far too many screenshots to fit them all into one news post, so you can catch the rest of them in our screenshot gallery here.[br]Stay tuned for the review, it will be out later on tonight or tomorrow - just in time for the game's release in 27 hours!

Midnight here. I'm not too exited, seeing as I've never played the original.

 

[Sui]

Haha, look at my appauling aim on the Garand video. I blame by crappy FPS while I was recording... but I'm sure many of you will just agree that I suck

Oh, and there are almost 40 screenshots for you to drool over- although I actually took about 100. I'd binded "take screenshot" to the F key, and was just snapping everything I saw XD

We'll maybe not, but im not messing around with BitTorrent, i'd prefer to just download and watch.

I've also found these 2 vids of Dod S

Cool Thanks for sharing those.

Awesome guys!

Long live bittorrent! Also, if anyone is currently running an IP blocking program like PeerGuardian (pheonixlabs.org nowadays) You might want to consider disabling it, or temporarily disabling the edu IP list.. as a lot of people from these forums are trying to download from college networks. That should increase the ammount of seeders for everyone.

Those filenames look like they are from the spring's beta test. So, when is DoD:s gonna be out tomorrow if I'm on gmt +2?

Not sure if you meant our filenames, but ours are definitely from the current build as they were taken today

My favorite Look who I'm killing

 

[spaulding]

All the engine features look awesome but the hands weapons and player models are way sub-par.

 

[Jimmeh]

By jove it's Craig Pearson.

Nice shot

 

[oik]

i wish i could see those vids,i dont wona have to download bittorrent,...

but im thinking there good

 

[agentbob00]

I'm not liking the hud one bit, looks too big and kinda cheap looking, and not opaque enough IMO. What do you guys think?

edit: spaulding- I agree with you on the player models/weapon models they look like low res textures

It's really good. I like it a lot better than the basic CS:Source HUD and it's much better than the tiny little shit of the original DOD.

I really didn't like DOD... I love DOD:Source though

[aeroripper]

I wanna see some of those skyboxes used

Some look like they go far off into the countryside :-O.

 

[Burning Fish]

Judging from the spring beta movies? The models and weapons in the latest build look pretty cool judging from the screenshotd and movies.

Damnit. LAAAME. I have class 6-9..

 

[dogboy73]

Anyone else getting problems since the last Steam update? I dont want to be the bringer of 'bad vibes' but I predict that the launch of DoD on the morrow will be a total **** up for at least 50% of the community!

I was starting to warm to the idea of Steam recently (always been scpeticle. especially since the HL2 launch **** up) & I was about to pre-order DoD but since the latest update seems to have renedered my Steam games knackered I don't think I'll bother now - I'm having thoughts of the HL2 launch all over again & It's not good ;(

 

[dawurz]

Cool

Suicide42 has also been play-testing the game on his "uber" gaming machine and out of that we've got two new videos and a myriad of screenshots to keep you going.

Good work. So what are your 'uber' specs Suicide? No findie in your profile. Did you find a sweet-spot for the video/etc settings? THanks.

 

[Evil O' Mohn]

Anzio is looking excellent. I found it was waay too dull-looking in DoD, it's good to see its been lightened up.

Btw would this system:
AthlonXP 1700+
1024gig
GeForce 6800 128mb

be able to run DoD:S well with HDR?

 

[Trendkill]

Anyone else getting problems since the last Steam update?

Yes and its pissing me off.
At first I would get a connection problem after about 1 minute, but now i can't even connect to any servers.

In css, I haven't tried any other games yet.
