Day of Defeat.....This is one funky game

[erikiksaz]

Ok, this game is supposed to be realistic right (to some extent) ? i started the game up, and i noticed that little stamina bar thing. i then began to run. after about a few seconds or so of running, i ended up without any stamina. sooo, i let it recharge. i then proceed to hit the space bar a few times. WTF, 3-4 jumps and this guy is tired!? what the hell is this? what type of weakling would get tired after 3-4 jumps? Come on, this is a soldier, i'm sure they can hop a few times without breaking a sweat. is it just me or is this part of the game a little bit weird?

Just make him lay down, then get right back up and he'll be ok again.

It's realistic because you can't do the stupid bunny hop thing that so many Quake/UT/CS players like to do. That's the most ridiculous crap I've seen. I think it's awesome.

BTW, it's only jumping, not running.

 

[uncouth]

yeah, it is not supposed to be real as in real-real. Its supposed to promote real behavior: ie if you insist on jumping a lot you're going to be shot like a brokenlegged horse.

excellent game for beta1. I love those beach levels...

Jesus christ val, this is OT, which means anything (relatively) is allowed, CS POSTS INCLUDED!
&quot;omg, so many CS posts, i cant just ignore them, i have to b.itch about them&quot;

 

[AndrewR]

Maybe we could have Zuni implement an ignore function, as in [ignore]Valhalla1[/ignore].

As for the beach levels, I actually like Omaha now, when before I despised it (as Allies). I played last night and actually had more kills than the top Axis player as did a couple other people on my team. That was highly amusing.

I need to download Utah as that's apparently an excellent beach map.

Psssssssstt.. DoD and CS are two different games.. This ain't a CS thread!

 

[erikiksaz]

the omaha one is with the beach right? i can't get over that blasted wire fence. i know i can't grenade it. i tried jumping, but that doesn't work either. i did pick up the tnt, but i have no clue how to use it.

Its a good game but some of the maps are funky, Like in some I can not figure out what to do with the stupid TNT, espically that beach one, I can not get past the barbwire either. So I just wait until a team mate blows open the whole for us.

I'm trying to d/l it again, does someone want to host a server for a game tonight?

 

[loogie]

valhalla does have a valid complaint though...there is a software forum for these posts.

You shoot the barbwire in the middle by the dirt patch. Take the TNT up to the big gun emplacments towards the back left of the map.

LOL good one.

 

[AndrewR]

I've never actually run through that middle hole in the wire, as that's tantamount to suicide. You can jump the wire at any point by using crouch+jump (the high jump from Half-Life) while holding down forward. It took some practice, but I can do it nearly every time now. It makes your lifespan MUCH longer as an Allied trooper.

 

[Schola]

So that's how you do it. You have to shoot at the ground in front of it? Also I did not know about the crouch+jump, well I knew but I did not know that you could use it in Dod. Cool, now maybe I will last longer than a few seconds on the beach.
