DoD update!!

**Bulletshell** · 07-04-08, 02:36 AM

no problems here just like any previous update takes me time to figure shit out...... Sometimes i get on and kick ass and other times i get on and can't even keep a 1.0 kd but oh well its still a learning curve.

Well, they "updated" the grenades to look like shit
They "updated" the scoreboard to look like shit
They "updated" the player collisions to keep you from stacking or blocking.
They "updated" to include Nemesis and Revenge which is stupid in a historical shooter. I love TF2, but DoD should not be TF2 set in WWII
They "Updated" netgraph so now there is no choke/loss displayed. Do they expect me to believe that they also updated the netcode so perfectly that Choke and loss no longer happen?

They "updated" to the new killcam.
So far, I am not a fan of this "update"... Maybe I will adjust to it in time, but I really liked DoD:S as it was. I can think of a few changes I would have made, but none of them involved turning the game into TF2 in WWII. If anything, I would like to have seen it become more realistic. This "update" is the exact opposite of that.
If they do something like this to CS:S, people will freak out big time.
It seems like the point of this "update" was to make the game more popular to people who are distracted by shiney objects.

well really it was made more to make people want to buy the game, and as we've learned now a days a game only sells if its got shiney flashy objects, no one cares about games 3-4-5 years old because "they look ugly" even if the game play is 1000x better (See MMORPGs for examples). Plus judging by the two ****ing flashing Halo 3 free ads on my screen right now making my eyeballs bleed flashing shit makes people buy. (seriously can we get rid of those annoying ass ****ing ads, i don't mind the Ramada ones, or the super 8, singles.net etc etc but this halo one is too ***ing much) anyways, my problem isn't getting used to the new game, its that it feels like a completely different game, and the way it is now isn't something that would make me want to play it, even if it wasn't DoD but a game i just picked up, it does not make me want to play it.

I haven't had the proper time to play the new DOD:S, but when I did I noticed that it runs a lot shittier for me now. My computer sucks already so this does not help. I'll be getting a new PC soon, but that's not the problem. If this update doesn't turn out as I expected, I might have to move on to a different game...

I just don't understand why everyone is so upset

This game plays nothing like TF2 there for it's not TF2. Now there are features that are in TF2 in the game, but it doesn't make it TF2 set in WW2.

Both games play completely different so I can't say that DOD is now TF2 it makes no sense. Maybe DOD has some features from TF2 but DOD is not TF2.

We should be glad about the player base we gained over night and pray that it last. That means we need everyone playing and not complaining because the kill cam makes an annoying sound.

As far as I'm concerned this update is great and has saved the game or at least made it's life extended to a few more months possibly years. The game was dieing and would have died sooner without this.

If the game is that terrible now I'd hate to see you go but just don't play it instead of getting on the server and complaining about how crappy the game now is with new people on. Their new and they'll listen to your opinion. If they think the game sucks they may not come back.

I respect your opinion but leave it off the server for now. I think it's fine for you to complain here, but I also just don't see where they went wrong.

Grumble, grumble, grumble, grrrrrrrrrr, whah, grrrrrrrrr, pow, zing, zap!

P.S. well said, Ficet... I will try not to complain about the continued crappy hitboxes and the LOUD freaking victory sounds that make my alter-ego wanna bust out and harm small rodents.

why don't you start a new thread, either here or the hardware forum, and detail the problem EXACTLY... programs running, in game frame rates, DoD hardware settings... all of it.. everything

Then we might be able to help.

maybe call it... "PC problems related to the NEW DoD:S"
