Dr. Nick Riviera Posted July 7, 2006 Report Share Posted July 7, 2006 coming from the original and being full on hardcore addicted to it. i was dissapointed with source.far too slow, the guns handled weird, rifle grenades WTF? and general slow sluggish gameplay. gfx were ace though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Nick Riviera Posted July 7, 2006 Report Share Posted July 7, 2006 maybe i'm just an original half life engine fanboy. but damn it's a good game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deagledaddy Posted July 7, 2006 Report Share Posted July 7, 2006 I've pre loaded it, but somehow doubt that it's gonna actually work on my pc. The gfx card is likely to try and die on me to be honest. Might just have to carry on with the origional version for now....

Has anyone seen my shoe? Posted July 7, 2006 Report Share Posted July 7, 2006 Pre-Loading now, my computer isnt very good mind so it may not work.My steam username is hasanyoneseenmyshoe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
munkee Posted July 7, 2006 Report Share Posted July 7, 2006 Strangely enough i actually bought the game last night for £12.. its actually a bargain i well like it shame steam is being gay with its stupid 50% cpu usage. Disabling friends in registry trick doesnt even work now . But yea its a pretty good game actually loads better than red orchestra.. which i bought months ago.. played for 4 days and never installed it again. f**kin wank game that is.

Haz Posted July 7, 2006 Report Share Posted July 7, 2006 (edited) Last time I played the free weekend I remeber t being a lot better than it was today.The old DoD is far better none of this OTT recoil nonsense.Edit: Just noticed you guys can't play because of the same error I had, try restarting Steam, it will only load when it says 'Ready 100%'I think I'll stick to surfing on CS...

munkee Posted July 7, 2006 Report Share Posted July 7, 2006 Yea i have to say the recoil is rediculous, makes the ak on source look feeble. However you have to remember its set in WW2 or 1 whatever.. guns back then did have insane power and kick. Its just were used to hardly anything.Preloading can take ages, when i downloaded it yesterday after i paid .. it took about 5 hours to fully download because of their shitty servers.. on 2mb i was gettin 30kb/s. It may be worth seeing if there is a topic on the forums about it, go to the DOD subforum i think i remember there was a sticky at top.

deagledaddy Posted July 8, 2006 Report Share Posted July 8, 2006 Not sure what you guys are moaning about, the recoil has always been terrible on pretty much all the autos/semi autos even on the original dod. I like te fact there is the option to single shot with the bar now, so you don't get carried away and suffer the recoil as much. My inly gripe is it seems slightly more pedestrian and the axis rifle is no longer insta death from what i found. The gfx are nice improve, makes environments seem more real, less people half in walls etc, pretty trees, walls landscapes etc.Was suprised it worked with my old gfx card to be honest. though of course would be better if all settings were on etc.edit: oh yeah every thing on the hud looks a bit 'noddy now' like its for kids, also things seem to bright, no longer do i squint to see people in windows etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarquin Posted July 8, 2006 Report Share Posted July 8, 2006 Im downloading this right now - wooo.Im a vet of the original DoD, (tarquin76 on XFire) cant wait to see what Source looks like. Allthough most of the reviews I have heard arent good. Oh well, its free!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deagledaddy Posted July 8, 2006 Report Share Posted July 8, 2006 Free for now...My old gfx card can't handle 1280*1024 never mind.Below is a comparison between old and new, some changes to the map actually make them less interesting/less places to hide etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
