DoD update!!

**evil_monkey** · 05-23-08, 10:42 AM

The DoDS update is almost here!! There is going to be a beta, open to every one who owns DoD, starting later today.

Welcome to the Day of Defeat: Source Beta forum. For the upcoming update, we'll be running a short beta test period, open to anyone that owns Day of Defeat: Source.

Changes in this update:

- added Dod_Palermo, updated map based on Dod_Salerno by Insta
- added Steamworks features, including achievements and player avatars
- added Nemesis and Revenge
- added Freeze Cam
- friendly players no longer collide with each other
- many particle systems have been improved
- changed the algorithm for bullet spread to be more like the original Day of Defeat
- reduced Garand recoil
- View position is now adjusted when zoomed with rifles and sniper rifles to help with player visibility around corners

Planned changes not in this update:

- Per-player stats linked to Steam Community
- many map exploit fixes

We welcome any bug reports in this forum, or by email to me at matt@valvesoftware.com.

Since I just re-installed CS:S... I might as well get DoD going again.

I am down with everything except the friendly player blocking and the zoomed scope stuff.
You cannot magically pass through another human being and when you are zoomed in, you should have a much more narrow field of view.

Agreed. Overall it sounds like they are taking some of the success from TF2 though and trying to add that to DoD...not sure if that'll work though given the nature of TF2 compared to DoD. We shall see.
