New DOD is garbage?

[lil krazie]

the graphics must have changed

Personally it makes me more interested in day of defeat, did the graphics change at all?

they had to coz my computer doesn't display the new ones right and the old were just fine

 

[Kendle]

I am loving the new update. And it will revive the DODS community.

crud?

alright face it, this update has ruined what we all know as dod:s, but there are some nice things. I like the achievements, i like the revamped graphics including the new look to explosions, and the ....oh wait thats it. the rest of it is crap. the freeze cam is probably the worst thing in the game now. all weapons were changed rather it be dmg, accuracy, or both. sensitivities are all wrong.

basically, sniper and rocket classes have been destroyed, and other guns have gotten unfair advantages. I feel that this update has made the game Much more noob friendly. I mean, if i wanted to play tf2 well, i could. but i dont. I think the freeze cam needs to be taken off, and the weapons restored to their original states. this game has been ruined in my opinion.

You know the freeze cam can be turned off, but only on the server level.

Maybe we need a vote to shut the dumb thing off, any takers to start a vote?

 

[Blue Stealth]

vote

i would vote to take it off

The update didn't ruin anything. All it did was change the cone of fire, and many weapon settings, BACK to what they once were in the original Day of Defeat (NOT source). The game is far more balanced once you get the hang of the different "feel" some of the weapons now have.

This is the future of not only DoD, but gaming in general. Achievements, statistics, user-friendliness... all that is what sells games. This update is brining many old timers back into the community that long lost interest because many, myself included, felt that Source "broke" Day of Defeat as we knew it. This change is for the best.

yeah i cant stand it how you go through teammates.. no more boosting :[

and i get tons of lag from nades and smokenades now. and i can no longer play my fav assualt class because battles upclose to the enemy lags me too when they start shooting. even with graphics all the way down.

they changed sensitivity on mg and rocket when deployed and that makes them both incredibly unrealistic.

only good part of update= new map and freeze cam

 

[slayr357]

Yes it will take some getting used to by me i hated the cone of fire in beta and they didnt tweak it i hope they will ajust it but i doubt it. I do like the anti collide. Whatever they do i have been playing this game for 7 years and i wont stop.

 

[SturmBruder]

I bet the things you don't like will be fixed over time. Like the MG and Rocket, and this is an opportunity for new things to come into DoD:S.

Agreed we take out DeathCam

 

[Giggles84]

The only one that made any sense hear is blue stealth =) hehe jk anyways ya I feel what you guys are saying. The reason why I like bf1942 and used to be this is because they were realistic, now that has gone out the window. Besides the point, it still is a good game, looks better, mg and rocket class sucks, you crawl faster, and I dont like how you can go threw team mates now.... but most ppl like that add. Anyways Ill see you guys on there when we get these servers worked out.

 

[GoodOrange]

Feels like they removed all the recoil from the guns! lol M1 Grand (sp?) is so powerful now...

 

[Carmine]

Are you people all crazy??? The death cam is a wonderful thing and I will tell you all why! Before snipers could sit at long range hiding and picking people off without people knowing where they were. Now a good teammate can communicate where the sniper is much more accuratly if the sniper dosent move after every shot, making the sniper class more realistic as they often did reposition after each shot. In addition if the teammate relays the information to his team you can expect nades and rockets flying at the place which gives you a good oppritunity to pick off the assaliants while they are aiming at where you were! The mg class didnt get worse in my opinion it just got more functional, it became more of an area denial weapon which is what a machine gun is supposed to be, you may not get as much kills but you are helping your team which is the point. The Domination Revenge system is great and adds a little spice to a game when it may be getting boring. There is nothing more fun than sneaking up on a person who dominated you and meleeing them in the back. The achievments are great and fun to get, especially since there isnt much special you get when you do get the achievments. The updates to the weapons are great, it just rebalanced the game. I have no opinion on the new map as I havent played it yet. I think people are just angry they have to work more as a team now, and if you are lagging, you probably need a new computer anyways (I only have an Nvidia 5200 and I only lag when looking at smoke, which I like because it makes the smoke more effective for the enemy team) This update did not "RUIN" the game, it made it better.

I have the exact same problem. I can move around the map, etc just fine, but the second I get near an enemy, LAG!!!!! I did not have this issue at all before the update.

As I have said in another thread unless you got involved with the beta then you have no place to moan. If you truly love DODs as a game then you knew that this beta would have been implemented at one point. The only way to make sure that it came out the way you wanted was to get involved with the beta in some way. You should have played it, figured out what you liked/disliked and reported it on the steam forums. Moaning about it on this forum when it has already gone "gold" is completely pointless. Like it or lump it now because you missed your opportunity to get things changed.

"If you didn't get involved with the beta process then you have no place to moan about anything in the final release. You should have played the beta and then mentioned any problems or bugs on the steam website. Simply moaning about it once it is released doesn't cut it."

 

[Fanatical Commissar]

I wish they had realistic blood, weapons, recoil, and Military uniforms for each map you play.... and none of those gay ( excuse my language ) TF2 explosion sprites

 

[Redshift]

I concur, the rediculous mg sensitivity is...rediculous. .

Agreed. It is not like the real thing at all. When the mg is deployed and swivels, it should do just that - swivel. Not jump around like wasp. Even changing mouse sensitivity doesn't do anything other than make running movement annoying.

Plus the game seems to lag in a weird way...sort of a uniform slowness.

 

[Shadow7]

What annoys me most is their change of graphics. Before the graphics were nice and smooth, clean. It was more about the gameplay than fancy buttplug graphics. But nooo theyve got to go and make it look more realistic. Now it hurts my eyes actually playing and watching these crazy textures sprites run around. Lameee

Are you people all crazy??? The death cam is a wonderful thing and I will tell you all why! Before snipers could sit at long range hiding and picking people off without people knowing where they were. Now a good teammate can communicate where the sniper is much more accuratly if the sniper dosent move after every shot, making the sniper class more realistic as they often did reposition after each shot.

Actually, it was more realistic beforehand. In reality, you never know exactly where a sniper shot came from. You know the general area the shot came from which is what you used to find out. It was up to you, having good knowledge of the game to predict where the shot came from. The locations are still called the same thing, no one is going to be "the sniper is 2 feet back and 6 inches to the right of the sandbag." The death cam has not changed anything to benefit gameplay except to be annoying because its so repetitive it makes me want to kill myself, not that im not already dead...lol. A good sniper can just as easily still sit there as before. The only difference is now you get to go on a lame roller coaster ride to see him up close.

"If you didn't get involved with the beta process then you have no place to moan about anything in the final release. You should have played the beta and then mentioned any problems or bugs on the steam website. Simply moaning about it once it is released doesn't cut it."

I actually was not aware they were changing the game this severely. I thought this was going to be a patch which is why I didnt bother beta testing. Instead they have changed a bunch of mechanics/graphics of the game, essentially making a new game. The only thing which remains the same really are the classes/weapons you can choose from and the general layout of the map.


Hey btw we should probably change the name...lets pick DOD:R (aka Day of Defeat: Remix), because it is in no way the same game.

 

[CorpPunishment (UK)]

I've played the beta a lot and I can actually tell you that it is basically the same game. It only has a few weapons tweaks with a better hit reg and some tf2 features thrown in. The nooby mg is still nooby, it's just slightly easier to kill it. The garand now rox, so anyone of you who actually uses it (and I doubt you do) will be very happy with that. The K98 hasn't changed so that is still great. The only possibly gripe I have is with the thompson, but it was overpowered in the source.

As for you saying that you didn't know that it was a big update, it's your own fault for being so ignorant. It was stated in steam news (which appears automatically in steam) that the new update was going to be a BIG update. It was also made as a separate application, with separate servers and a whole bug/testing section dedicated to it on the steam forums. All the signs where there showing that it was a HUGE update compared to anything else we've ever had. So as I said before, you lose your right to be grumpy about it. You can either learn to like it, have fun with the new content and functions or go play something else because the new update is here to stay. According to the devs and mods on the steam forums we won't be getting an update for a long time.

 

[=(e)=?BombDiggtyMe]

Only thing i dont like is the black screen to view ur score.

 

[unholyassassin]

Pros:

1) Achievements (Big Plus Plus)

2) Better lighting in some maps.

3) Assault got better

4)M1 Garand is SO much better.

Cons:

1) Killcam makes it feel more like TF2 and out of place.

2) Still get some weird graphical glitches that I never got before.

3) For the longest time, I didn't know how to change your name until today. TODAY! And the fact that it goes off steam id is even worst since I use multiple names on different games that also goes off the steam id. (TF2 for example.) Also at times, I go to LAN centers with my friends and with this update, you can't change the names at those places.

4) Machine Gun Deployment. (Nuff said)

5) THEY FREAKING MESSED WITH MY BAZOOKA! ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! (Biggest NO NO ever!)
