Yeah, I found out I had to unblock hl2.exe on my firewall (even though it was already unblocked!). The HDR looks great. You really have to see it in motion though, screenshots don't do it justice. As for the maps... yowza. The amount of detail and the -giant- 3d skyboxes really add up. I'm definitely moving away from realistic map-making soon, I can't compete with this kind of stuff. :-P

Donner and Anzio are my favorite maps, visually and layout-wise.

That shot has a glow to it that definitely sets it apart.

So, uh ... you can see people's health, eh? Cool.

Just to add to the question mentioned ... two pages ago ... even if you get the entire game on steam it needs to be unlocked on the steam servers for your account. In other words. No, it wont work.

When CS:S Beta was going on, I got a key for Condition Zero from a friend and tried it out, it didn't bother checking the key, but it let me download and play (it locked it out later, since the key was in use ... and I got a face full of CZ and never wanted to play it since ... since it sucked balls), So, yeah, copying GCF files or something like that wont work ... for that you'd need a "fake" steam thing ... Huh? No, I'm not giving any hints... you're crazy ... crazy.

I wish I could play DoD:S ... but, it wouldn't run well ... I'm not paying another $20 anytime soon (I think, if I really explain my situation and point of view I could get a lowered price ... I'd be willing to pay about $5 ... Which I don't expect, but, I don't expect anything for free, but ... I've still shelled out more then most people here for the game and I don't even get to play it) ... and I have school.

Anyway ... more maps. I DEMAND MORE MAPS. Isn't there only four?


Blame it on Microsoft, God does.

Yeah, there are only four maps. But damned if they aren't the purdiest maps ever made, every bit as detailed and beautiful as the new cs_inferno. I actually like the new layouts of Donner and Anzio better, I found them much funner to play than I used to. However I hate the new Avalanche, that used to be the funnest map, but its like they listened to anyone who ever whined about how hard it was, and put all these little sniper holes everywhere, as well as changing the layout and shrinking the size. It also seems a bit too cluttered now. Apart from that it was definately worth the wait, however I hope they add all the old weapons soon, as I can't do without my allied carbine.

looks great, but I can't afford it. I've literally only got $19 in my account.

If you bought it before it was released, you could have got a 10% discount, Nickel <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_smile.gif">

This game is missing three things; dod_charlie (omaha beach), dod_cain, and the greasegun/m1 carbine class that I loved.

Otherwise, can't stop playing it <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_smile.gif">

What was the name of the map with the german radar station located on a hill and guarded by a usable cannon? It was my fave. I wonder if we'll see it in DOD:S any time soon.

The maps they've re-done are the ones that get the most play on official servers. Besides a couple of custom maps, these are the only ones that clan leagues play.

The m1 carbine is still in the game French, I found it last night under the bazooka class, its their support weapon.

Andrei, I doubt we'll see that map anytime soon. It had a pretty poor layout from what I can remember and it was a custom map, so Valve won't be re-making it.

I loved that one that Andrie was talking about... dod_glider methinks.

AS, I know that the rifle is still there, but I enjoyed it being a class of it's own. And the german Bazooka doesn't get the greasegun, they get some crappy little auto-pistol.

But the bazooka class does kick some serious ass... <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_smile.gif">

Ah, I think I've made a mistake there French. I love glider as well, I thought Andrei was talking about that one which tries to recreate the bunker thing is Saving Private Ryan. That map was pretty crap. Glider is teh shiznit.

The new classes are a bit odd. The grease gun is completely gone (was a US weapon, not German). The new German machine pistol is kinda cool. I really don't like the whole big smoking nade thing now, they're so easy to see its really hard to sneak attack people with them.

Apart from that I've been enjoying it a lot, its been a great break from BF2, which is all I've been playing for the last month. (Speaking of BF2, how f**king long does it take to advance to the rank of Lance Corporal. I've been at it for weeks now and it seems like I've hardly progressed).

Lance Corporal isn't that hard to get to. Going from 500 to 1000 isn't that big. Getting to Corporal is a royal pain in the ass. I'm only at about 2800 (need 10k)

No it's not glider. Ahh, if only I could remember!!! Oh, the germans could call in airstrikes on various fixed locations in the map.

Yeah, Corporal is the rank I'm thinking of, not Lance Corporal. I think I'm at about 3800 now, and it seems to only be a third of the way there. The gay thing is that you can only unlock weapons when you advance a rank. I'm not looking forward to the prospect of trying to advance further than Corporal.

If it isn't glider Andrei, then I think its the one I thought it was initially. In which case I stick with my initial comment.

Do you mean dod_charlie, originally dod_overlord, that is Omaha Beach from Saving Private Ryan? Because I love that map <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif">

Ah, forget it, it doesn't matter. It was removed from the later versions of DOD anyway. <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/sad.gif">

Ahhh, so 'twasn't Charlie.
