ReNo Posted May 24, 2008 Report Posted May 24, 2008 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! Quote
JohnC Posted May 24, 2008 Report Posted May 24, 2008 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. Quote
insta Posted May 24, 2008 Report Posted May 24, 2008 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 Quote
hessi Posted May 24, 2008 Report Posted May 24, 2008 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. Quote
FrieChamp Posted May 24, 2008 Report Posted May 24, 2008 Cool neve knew that they bought that map, congrats insta! Quote
Mazy Posted May 24, 2008 Report Posted May 24, 2008 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! Quote

Furyo Posted May 25, 2008 Report Posted May 25, 2008 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. Quote
