So who else is waiting for DoD:S


Recommended Posts

Posted

I have been patient, impatient and everything in between, waiting for DoD:S to be released, I was a long time member of several clans back in the day, most fondly remembering back the days of beta 1.3 before they changed the whole concept, but after that I still was in several clans, even had one of my own :D

DoD:S might just be as important release as NS:S will be to me, but how important is it to you? Discuss!

Team Fortress Source will be more important to me.

You mean the mod or the actual TF2 that Valve makes? Since I don't think they are going to make a source port from TFC because they are doing the TF2.

Quote from Dod forums, to clarify some retail dod:s questions.

Retail version (store bought) version of HL2 does NOT include DoD:S

If you bought a copy of HL2 in a store, you do not automatically get DoD:S once it is released. This goes for all versions, including the collectors edition.

DoD:S is only available for free on release to those who bought the Silver or Gold packages via Steam.

What! This is an outrage! I paid $XXX for HL2! I demand DoD:S!

The store versions of HL2 were duplicated, packaged and distributed by Vivendi who had the publication rights for HL2 and CS:S only. These rights did non include DoD:S which is why it is not availble with the retail version.

How do I get DoD:S when its released then with a retail/store version?

Retail users will be able to add DoD:S to their Steam package for a nominal price when it is released. As of yet we have no word on what that price will be. However, it won't be the same price as a full Steam Silver subscription and probably a lot less than buying it as a retail game.

But DoD:S is a mod! It should be free!

DoD:S is not a mod, in fact DoD hasn't been a mod since beta 3.1. The mod was bought by Valve and as of 1.0 (when it was available in stores), it became a commerical, stand-alone product. It is now a game in its own right and not an add-on.

DoD:S will cost something, but it can be bought separately.

Ooh Kosmo likes DoD :-)

DoD:Source is awesome, atleast the ~5months old beta is. There's some HUGE stuff going on behind the scenes. DoD will change, bigtime... The release is actually closer than you guys think :-D

Can't wait!

As huge as the transition from beta 1.3 to beta 2?

In csnation, they say that DoD:S will be released sometime around september..

DoD was a really great game once, back in the times with beta 1-1.3b. After that it was still an ok fun mod, but nothing really special.

I will wait with judging DoD:Source until I have tried it. It might be a game which I am going to use some time on, but it is also very possible that I will drop it after a few hours of play.

Well if you rated that transition huge, then yes. DOD:S will change alot gaming elements and I'm sure it will get mixed reviews from oldschool DoD players...

To me, september sounds unrealistic.
