Noticed on shacknews that theres a new DoD:S update out, and it includes a new map. I was hugely taken aback to be honest - a DoD:S update wasn't something I expected from Valve - and then I noticed the name of the level; dod_palermo. Sounded a little familiar, and rightly so. Apparently it's essentially a remake of insta's Salerno! Congrats man, not sure what the circumstances were to getting the level "remixed" like this, but hopefully nothing other than awesome!

I was pleasantly surprised at first, but I didn't notice any changes in the new map. And my god, what abominable load times.
Before I read the news, I thought they'd decided to finally bring back at least some of the missing stuff from DOD. Still, at least the Episode 2 engine adds achievements, visual enhancements and maybe a framerate boost.
And congratulations, insta.

Thanks! They bought dod_salerno april 2007, so it's taken them quite a while to get around to releasing it, which is too bad since I think Dod Source is sort of past its prime by now
-
got to agree with insta. congratulations valve, you successfully fucked up once again.
anyway it is nice to see a community map becoming official though valve ruins it due to the heavy release delay.
-
Cool neve knew that they bought that map, congrats insta!

Nice insta, grats~~but yeah, DOD:S isn't really that interesting anymore. Me still finks they should remake Caen, then I'd be all over that thing!

congratulations man
better late than never
i wished i could pull something like this of ... i love dod after all

Trust me, the map did get changes, and if you can't see them, that only means they're done well enough they don't destroy the map. The map was heavily tested with each change implemented last year.

Congrats Insta!
-
I've been to Palermo!
And as said before, very nice and well deserved with this map. Shame it took so long before it actually came out, but oh well
-
Glad at least they put it out. It was a great map, I remember playing it on CoJ for a while. I miss my DoD days.
