|
|
YIPPY! Now I get to play DoD:S for free for 2 days!
Although I probably won't! lol.
Its a good idea on Valve's part though. Maybe now with a fixes they've done, extra maps and stuff to, they'll be able to bring some of us 1.3ers over to the dark side.
Meh, it'll be fun to try it again anyway. Wanna know more about it? Load steam or visit http://www.steampowered.com/index.php?area=dodFreeWeekend _________________

You need to give it a try mal. It’s a good game just needs a little tweaking.
It’s a completely different game and shouldn’t be compared to 1.3. People resist it because they are afraid to start over and might not have the same skills in source.
One thing I’ve learned is you can’t Rambo through it like in 1.3. You have to pick your target and hope you kill it. _________________

I think this is a large part of the Ville regs not playing source. We have a lot of really good 1.3 players that don't want to feel like noobs again. I know from my experience it was really fun killing Vtec over and over....on 1.3 I would try to get on his team or prepare to get kar'ed a million times.
I just hope there is an influx of new users resulting from this free weekend and DOD:S 's retail release. Theville community seems to be about 90% 1.3 10% source. TV1 remains empty most of the time. I have tried to change things up a little to help draw some more players but that failed. I think the bottom line is There are lots of DOD:S servers out there and not many players. We have to try and steal some of these new players and get more support for DOD:S. Without regulars the server cannot succeed. _________________

Well you see I've tried DoD S, and I wasnt overly impressed with it at the time. Although I did try it in the first few days it was out. So i'll give it a try again, and maybe it will help suck another $20 out of my pockets. Although I dont think I'll ever leave 1.3. And dont worry guys, I'm not afraid of being a noob. I'll pwn you no matter what. _________________

I saw that today. In fact I might play it, but for now I am loading DoD 1.3 to play online. I'll try it, so you might see me on the servers soon. It might also incourage me to get source. _________________

My refusal to change has nothing to do with skill level. It has to do with hitboxes and weapons. Both of which are very flawed in Source. _________________

I just hate DoD and refuse to play it, it's that simple. 1.3 and Source are of no consequence, I don't like the games.

I started playing reg dod back in beta 1 and through beta 3.1 saw a lot of changes in that time. One thing that I have learned is not every version is going to be perfect, but the dev team will always be tweaking it. As far as the problems in source they have all been fixed in the last few updates imo. british soldiers, and the other weapons are sure to follow they will never stop adding updated versions until they move on to a new graph engine. _________________

I'm going to give it a try just to see how the maps work and to see what the beef is with the weapon accuracy. But, I doubt I would buy the game. |

cool ----- one thing though, you may want to map your keys to match 1.3 _________________
