    Thoughts so far?

    Pretty good overall. Graphics are nice, sounds nice. When more gameplay modes and maps are released it will be alot better I think. Still not much different from the original other than sounds and graphics. I hope they can change this.

    My biggest gripe so far is I'm really disappointed in the implementation of iron sights. You get them on only the rifles and they feel clunky as hell. Not only is it too slow to sight up but once you are sighted in you can't move (well, so slow you can't notice that you're moving). I understand not being able to sprint while in sight but some walking wouldn't hurt would it?
    MOH:PA, a turd by itself, had similar problems. Makes having iron sights pointless.

    Re: Thoughts so far?

    I wasn't overly impressed. But that's more to due with my personal preference in games than any problem with the game itself.

    For me, DoD Source performed great. Nice and smooth, pretty graphics and good sound effects. The small maps, rapid gameplay, and preference towards twitching speed is what drives my overall opinion.

    It does look to be an excellent game for those that like this style of game though!

    Diplomacy is the art of saying "good doggie" while looking for a bigger stick.

    Re: Thoughts so far?

    There were a couple of maps and game modes that were definitely more tactically oriented in the original that, if implemented, will make this game great.

    I can't remember the name of the map but it had a downed plane that the allies had to retrieve documents from. Seems like the axis had an objective to destroy armor on it as well and it made for some great offensive and defensive maneuvering.

    Re: Thoughts so far?

    I'm so used to BF2 that it is definitely a major pace change. Having said that, I played on a couple of regular servers while waiting for the TG server to be available and found it fun enough I'd like to try it on a TG server. For some odd reason I was doing just stellar as a sniper.

    I like it so far. I agree with the comment about the iron sights - they just aren't "right." Hopefully this will get fixed. But it's as fun as it ever was, and I hope it lives a long productive life here at TG!

    They did a good job capturing the feel of DoD just like they did with CS and CS:S.

    The iron sights seem to be only useful in limited circumstances when you need to act like a sniper. The rifle grenades on the other hand work great and are a nice enhancement.

    Sorry troop, it requires the whole thing....that is half life 2 silver or better, or the retail version + day of defeat.

    That said, if you haven't played HL2, you are missing out. There are some truly memorable sequences.

    And the whole package comes with CounterStrike Source. Whatever your preconceptions are of the game, drop them, and play it here.

    I thought CS:S was dead to me before I came here. Now I'm an admin. The game is that good, when played the PCS way.

    And, like UT2004, there are a plethora of mods: dystopia, substance, plan of attack, etc...all quality stuff.

    It's definitely worth the purchase.

    I think the game feels good. It seems to prefer people working together than the lone gunman which is a plus.

    Trooper i think you can, you'll have to install steam to find out.

    That's why I'm not impressed. It's just DoD with new graphics. And they took the bayonet off of my Kahr!

    Silver gets you DoD and Lost Shores. Gold gets you everything Valve has ever done.

    Re: Thoughts so far?

    Actually I think it is a stand alone game for $20 from steampower.com you can get just DOD:S by itself without having HL2.

    See this sticky from the valve's forums:

    http://forums.steampowered.com/forum...hreadid=343666

    I'll probably get DoD:S standalone since I have no real interest in their other games and there are so many other games coming out soon that my gaming budget is strained.
