Guest blitz Posted January 17, 2001 Share Posted January 17, 2001 This is a great mod http://www.dayofdefeatmod.com/ But somethings I noticed, there are plenty of CM textures used in it, I noticed the trees and small house textures are right from CM and some sounds... You may want to check it out, and maybe give them a polite message or something dunno what the legalities of this is, since its a free mod.

Pak40 Posted January 17, 2001 Share Posted January 17, 2001 Thank you for this link. I had no idea this mod existed. I downloaded it tonight and played the Caen map. I was pretty damn impressed. Here are a few descriptions and features for those interested: "Day of Defeat" is a Half Life mod of WW2 combat and tries to be as realistic as possible while still being a playable game. Most of the major weapons are accurately modeled (as far as I can tell), including bazookas, Panzerfausts, flamethrowers. The Caen map (the only one I've played so far) is a great map of a ruined city. My teamates and I were moving by leaps and bounds throughout the debris of the streets, ducking into half ruined buildings for cover. Many builings have stairs to get up to the second level which some provide excellent dark hiding spots for snipers. Several classes to choose from. As allies you have: Sniper: M1 Springfield w/ scope Light infantry: M1 Garand Assault infantry: Thompson SMG Heavy infantry: BAR Medic: pistol and there are others such as .50 and .30 mgs. The Germans have their equivelent classes. Probably the best thing about this mod is that Fatigue plays a roll. You can't go jumping about and firing your weapon as much as you want. You have a limited amount of ammo and you will quickly be exhausted from jumping around. Tired soldiers move at half their movement rate. No more crazy jumping opponents that are hard to kill. So far I've played 3 classes: Sniper, assault inf, and Heavy inf(BAR). All have their advantages and weaknesses. The sniper can hide in the shadows and wait for the one shot kill...The Assault infantry has good speed but not great killing power at long ranges and wont tire quickly. The Heavy infantry is slower and will tire quickly but has punching power of the BAR. None of these classes rule the battlefield so far. I have learned not to stay in the streets too long because a sniper in the shadows will kill you quick. Yet if you close assault a sniper he is a dead man. I highly recommend this mod for anyone who likes WW2 infantry combat. If you play the game with others who are seriously in to playing, then you can have one hell of a combat experience.

iggi Posted January 17, 2001 Share Posted January 17, 2001 I've been playing DOD for two days now. It's immersive. WWiionline should be better but this is a little taste. There's no mission structure. Everyone does thier own thing. Very gritty, fast paced killing.

iggi Posted January 17, 2001 Share Posted January 17, 2001 I wonder if we can make a cm map with dod? Hmmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
420 Posted January 17, 2001 Share Posted January 17, 2001 I've been playing this mod too and I love it. The beach invasion map even has all the sounds from SPR. The sounds, the random artillery strikes, the weapons, the maps create an extremely immersive environment. The only thing that bugs me is how the SMG assault infantry on both sides move slower than the rifle armed light infantrymen. Isn't a rifle heavier and more cumbersome than an SMG? Shouldn't their speeds be reversed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest blitz Posted January 17, 2001 Share Posted January 17, 2001 There are definitely CM textures in there There is a map. that has these small houses - CM wooden house texture, and trees - KWazyDog's tree tetxure (with pink bits of the alpha mask ) Also the sounds - "we need ammo" see the voice menu keys. I'll findout the exact map name [This message has been edited by blitz (edited 01-17-2001).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MantaRay Posted January 17, 2001 Share Posted January 17, 2001 Yep, fine work. I played it for a while today and really enjoyed it, except for the Super Dark map where I kept getting lost. I like the weapons, maybe the best HL mod to date. CS and FA are close though. Ray ------------------ When asked, "How many moves do you see ahead?", CAPABLANCA replied: "One move - the best one."

GriffinCheng+ Posted January 17, 2001 Share Posted January 17, 2001 Does it support bots? Or is there any single player? I tried CS with PODBot and it is great fun. I ask cause I don't go online often. Griffin. ------------------ "When you find your PBEM opportents too hard to beat, there is always the AI." "Can't get enough Tank?"

Guest Madmatt Posted January 17, 2001 Share Posted January 17, 2001 Please tell me which map has the textures. I played for about an hour last night looking but didnt see any.

Guest Madmatt Posted January 17, 2001 Share Posted January 17, 2001 Thats not the same CM Wave file for "We Need Ammo". I am sure of it, and I recorded the originals! Madmatt [This message has been edited by Madmatt (edited 01-17-2001).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sinpoet Posted January 18, 2001 Share Posted January 18, 2001 you eviel bastards hehe why I ask did u tell me of this mod I lost an entire day playing this running around on all the maps from Caen to Omaha to Norway and god knows where else in that game drooling with every burst of my Mp40. Seriously though its not a bad mod, a bit buggy but good overall. I think some of the maps could be a bit bigger but my fav would have to be Caen. Well now I have to divide my time between CM and this, what a mess and I only have you guys to blame for ummmmm both hehehe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coralsaw Posted January 18, 2001 Share Posted January 18, 2001 Thanks for the link blitz! Any idea if the server files are going to be released and if so, when? Thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pak40 Posted January 18, 2001 Share Posted January 18, 2001 Yes, I think Caen is the best map so far. It has the war torn feel of urban combat. Lots of buildings to enter and nooks and crannies to hide in as a sniper. The random artillery rounds add a touch of reality also. It's also well balanced unlike the Omaha map which has to be the worst one I've seen. Omaha is just a killing spree without purpose, tactics or even reality. The entire game really depends on who you are playing with. If you have some nut in there who insists on killing his own teamates, then the game wont be fun. If everyone in the game actually tries to use infantry tactics and realistically tries to stay alive, then it will be a great game. I'd really like to see a map that doesn't allow you to respawn. That would really inspire players to play realistically instead of rushing into certain death. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phoenix Posted January 19, 2001 Share Posted January 19, 2001 Anyone know if they are they going to add the rest of the weapons in a follow up beta? Or am I somehow missing the MG42, flame thrower and others somehow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guru Posted January 19, 2001 Share Posted January 19, 2001 I played the mod for a bit last night, and it's pretty cool, although quite buggy. For instance, I can empty a whole smg clip at an enemy 1m away whose SIDE is facing me and no damage to him at all. I f I maneuver slightly to either side, he will die. But no killing from the side And yes there were those few immature people who would sit in the tank at the spawn point and kill all their teammates. But I hope this mod does really well. I'm also hoping that they improve the player models and animations tho, as now they look to stiff and blocky. Ah, and the smg's and BAR seem to be a little too accurate. I'm sure in future releases it'll just get better and better... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mouge Posted January 19, 2001 Share Posted January 19, 2001 Ah yes, I am one of the level design team people, and maker of the map dod_valley using the CBM textures I got from the (incredible) demo. I assure you, this was temporary and will be replaced with new textures if wanted immidiatly as of version 1.1. Although DoD is not being sold, making it legal (I beleive), I still want to replace them and provide proper credit to the CBM team for the original textures.

Guest blitz Posted January 19, 2001 Share Posted January 19, 2001 Hey Mouge You might want to mention to the skinners to change the cammo on the German cammo smocks, hardly accurate for the time period the mod depicts But I love the German voices - I have a script that activates the Left - right -left - right voices Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
