Day of Defeat: Source Free Weekend

[dds14u]

There's a new update going on with a new map (palermo) and added achievements much like in Team Fortress 2.

I used to be a big DoD fan before TF2 came out. If you're looking for more realistic classic combat, try this FPS out.

It's anything but realistic.

Well, it is more realistic than Team Fortress 2, I'll give it that.

Bump from a long time DoD:S player.

DoD: Source is fun, but it is realistic. It is still arcadey, even without the bunny hop.

If you want realism and WW2, checkout Red Orchestra.

I used to play DoD before it came out on source.

Sweet! I've not yet played a Source game, but I used to play the originals...I'll have to give it a shot.

The 'freeze cam' is a terrible idea, though- castrates the Sniper class...

No it doesn't. A good sniper will move, not camp in one spot.

I haven't played DOD:S in a while, what is this freeze you speak of?

 

[astrosfan315]

the replay of you getting killed like in TF2.

An even better sniper doesn't have to move.

Free only for the weekend right? You'll still have to pay for it when the weekend over, eh?

LOL at the level I play at, if you don't move you die.

Yes, but this gives people the free trial to the new version of DODS. Some like it while others hate it. Personally I think its much better

 

[tranceport]

i hate the source one. I loved the original non-source mod.

 

[eggrolls]

DoD:S is only $5 via Steam until Thursday, from original price of $10

 

[iamjn]

Thanks. I think I will stick with Urban Terror however.

 

[Cstefan]

I bought my copy after playing for 3 hours losing track of time.

 

[tigersty1e]

Are there a lot of players?

Compared to CS: Source, how many players and servers are there?

DoD source is pretty unrealistic as far as damage and speed is concerned. No bullet travel time, perfect accuracy from certain weapons, and instant death from certain weapons regardless of place hit. It doesn't mean its not a lot of fun, but its definitely far from a realistic shooter.

Instant death from certain weapons regardless of place hit? Besides the bazookas, what weapon is that ?
