I'm not too hyped up about DOD Source.. It's probably just a "sourced up" version of the regular DOD just like CS Source and regular CS.
You got gold package with the T Shirts and Posters and Coffee mugs??

It's very uber.. I wasn't expecting much but goddamn they've outdone theirselves again. Lots of little things and the whole combat scene has been evolved. I've only been the axis (Wehrnsucht now) and I've noticed a couple of changes. First of all, instead of priming grenade by tossing them on the ground and picking them up, you can just prime them regularly, and there are smoke grenades give to those with mp40's. Most classes have grenades just like in regular DoD. Panzershreck has a automatic pistol (looks like the sidearm of DoD but fires like an smg). mp40 if you right click you'll punch. the umm.. orange weapon's right click lets you choose between automatic and single. k98 has iron sights (no more bayonette ): ) I'm sure the sniper has scoped as usual. Also.. instead of just a few select places for the 30 cals (or whatever they're called on axis) you can place them pretty much anywhere there's a slot for them. e.g. it's probably not world defined but relies on whether it's low enough to the ground/support, I'd have to investigate further. It's just all the little things.. just try it, it's -really- cool.
I don't regret getting the gold package: 3 posters, hl strategy guide, cap for only like 12 bucks more than the silver (don't quote me on that). At least I have Alyx, Gordon, and G-Man.. (but mostly Alyx)
Yeah, my favorite thing about DOD Source was that the MGs can be placed anywhere. Its a lot more realistic, and now you can be a lot more strategic with them

It seems a lot more squad oriented. Like.. I cdon't know how it happend but everyone wants to work together instead of going off on their own. A mg42 laid down supressing fire while the assault moved in to mop up so the mg'er wouldn't die.. man.. it's just fun as heck now.
I don't know.. but maybe the people who payed for DOD Source are more serious about playing the game correctly than the people who just payed for Halflife 2
Id love to play it, it looks really great but I dont really feel like dishing out $20 USD for it either. Loved DOD although I didnt play it that much.
I didn't pay a cent for it
w00t for silver/gold packages. Also.. there's no gun effects like artillery. If someone pops off an mg42, you can hear it through the entire map. As in the only guns and ricochets you'll hear are 'real' weapons being fired. Very cool if you ask me. Although it's kind of laggy, it's just the first day and it'll be ironed out just like CS:S was.
now what is this all about?

What will he do next?
I'm just saying that it has a few minor quibbles that will be fixed in time. I never claimed I had anything to do with the project (why you'd think I would is beyond me) and it was merely to inform the public of the game going live.
Here are some screens of the game, I can attest to the authenticity.. you'd have to be there to actually see the game run as smoothly as it looks (when it does work)

And please don't start trolling. It's on the subject of the game, not of personal attacks. Thank you.
I finally decided to buy it a half hour before it went up (got to get that discount!). I'm impressed, it's very high quality. The maps are few, but well made. That is my only complaint right now, there aren't enough maps. However, Valve should be adding more in the coming weeks and months to solve that. I would really like to see a beach head map where the Allies have to storm up a beach and the Axis defend. Right now it's all towns and they all feel a little too similar.
Another thing, people are claiming to have frame rate problems. I'm not having issues, but it seems a lot of others are on varied systems, ATI, Nvidia, Intel, AMD.
Looks and sounds amazing. I hope to try it out soon.
Actually, there's four maps [iirc] and there is one beach according to the hands on. I just think most servers aren't just rotating some.. or you just never seem them on your play through. It's supposed to be where you temporarily suspend them at the beach and then they move up into the town and you defend it from there.
EDIT: Oh yeah, just wanted to add -- Well worth the wait. It took a while but perfection takes time but it's all worth it in the end.. I don't know how many days I stared at the top of my steam list of 'coming soon' waiting for it to come by.
Guess I'm the only one that has no idea what DOD stands for?

Day of Defeat.. S means Source, you could get it free with Silver or Gold Packages on the Steam thinger. It's a FPS thing, you wouldn't understand
Only 4 maps for 20$? No thanks I won't pay for a mod that isen't even finished.
Hopefully I can get a chance to try it at a friends house before slapping down $20. Also for those who purchased the silver and gold packages, the cost is added in....in no way would Valve let people get it for free.
I see there is a beach map, it's not quite what I had in mind. I was thinking a much larger beach.
And I do agree that $20 appears to be a bit much for a "mod" with 4 maps. It is fairly high quality though and Valve is going to continue to update the game (ie. more maps). So, I have no regret buying it.
No vehicles, much smaller maps, and a faster pace. I would say it's not up your alley if you are looking for a Battlefield 2 clone. If anything I'd compare it to RtCW.
