old news fool!

I knew about it this morning!

i should have posted it.

im very excited.

[6Three]

I knew about it earlier too, just checked and saw that no one had bothered to post :)

[Lucid]

Still no pricing info?
:(

[blinking halo]

it comes with the silver and gold hl2 packages. if you bought bronze, then your screwed up the ass, unless you wanna shell out again for another HL2 package on a new account :P

You're so naive. I bet it will be about $20-30 to buy over steam, probably be retail aswell, seeing as EA will try and milk VALVe in retail.

[jdufault]

Very true, I wonder if they will give us any other games with DOD?

It would be nice to just try HL-Source, since I never got to with retail..

[CptStern]

I read somewhere that it was going to be a mp bundle: CS:S, DoD:S and HL2DM ...but I'm sure they'll offer DoD alone on steam

[6Three]

I get DoD:S and HL:S for $10 :)

its exactly the same as HL, except with pretty water. same textures and everything.

i bought gold, so i can dl DOD:S when it comes out :P

[Iced_Eagle]

Oh, and for all of you looking for some irony, September 1st is the starting date for WW2

[iyfyoufhl]

lol how long did it take you to write that out in 1337 speak

[Malarkee]

a few things, firstly steam is VALVes distribution platform so EA have nothing to do with and the whole entire game has been given a graphical over hall so although it does have 'pretty' water its also got updated models, maps, textures, sounds and gameplay

When Ennui said it was the same textures etc, he was talking about HL:Source, he even quoted someone saying they'd like to get a chance to play HL:S.

[blinking halo]

disturbed: please explain your 'naive' comment. do you mean that valve will force silver and gold package owners to buy a seperate version of DoD? i think not, as they would have a lot of unhappy customers on their hands.

/me slaps head....

I'll just shoot myself now....

[DigiQ8]

10 min
yes i am n00p :(

[The Hulk]

The textures, models, etc. have all been upgraded, otherwise DoD:S would have been out months ago. They felt DoD:S needed a better port than HL:S. This is old news though, but may be new to some of you. Just search for old Weekly Steam News posts, you'll find it.

[Ennui]

HL:S (which is what I was talking about in my earlier post) was mainly a test to see how well a HL engine game could be ported to Source.

DOD:S has been given a complete graphical overhaul - 100% new content. New textures, models, etc.

[DigiQ8]

its still Sept 1st ?

[happyhappy]

I really hope so....really... lol

[Ennui]

lol doesn't look like it :(

[orsinijj]

If valve is going to miss another deadline... the least they could do is show us a little courtesy and let us know... just not let Sept. 1 come and go while they stand in the corner and work on CS:S. Just my 2 cents.

[DiSTuRbEd]

They never said Sept 1st was the release date. If they did it would be posted about everywhere you can think of.

[happyhappy]

Next Wednesday the print magazine Gamstar 09/2005 will be in the shops. It features a small preview of Day of Defeat Source including the expected releasedate: September, 1st 2005. On this day the Steam and Shop version should get released. If these information are right, DoD Source must gone gold within the next 2-3 weeks.

*** UPDATE ***
DoD.net Forums: Lombardi: "YES. WE HOPE TO HAVE THE GAME AVAILABLE FOR EVERYONE TO PLAY BY SEPTEMBER 1."

This states that they "Hope" to release it by September 1st. So it has been said.

[-WorldSpawn-]

Rumour is that the latest issue of CGW says something about the release date too, but I can't find it.

[CptStern]

just a hunch but .....I think DoD will come bundled with Aftermath

[DiSTuRbEd]

That would be very lovely, save me having to use my debit card twice. :E

[Solaris]

Where does it say its out on sep 1st

[k25]

Where does it say its out on sep 1st

It doesn't. That was a quote from quite a while ago. The CGW article said it's due out in "fall", but that's still not a commitment to a release date.

With the complete lack of any publicity surrounding this game, I wouldn't expect it any time soon.

[CptStern]

not for me :( I've already paid for DoD:S

[DiSTuRbEd]

not for me :( I've already paid for DoD:S

*beats Stern with a bat* Ok now I don't have to buy DoD:S :E

[gweedodogg69]

wow...my birthday :D. I get my 4800+ on that day as well, I cannot wait :D:D.:bounce:

[Ennui]

not for me :( I've already paid for DoD:S
me tooo

[6Three]

I've payed my $10 already too.

[Naudian]

wow...my birthday :D. I get my 4800+ on that day as well, I cannot wait :D:D.:bounce:

Can't wait for what? DoD:S? Psh, I just reaaallly don't think it's going to come out Sept 1st...

Spet 1st would be awesome, but I'm not 'waiting' for that date anymore...one day it will be in my damn games list and I don't care when as long as it's before christmas.

[RipperRoo]

Ive paid aswell, just gimmeh the stupid game, update it whilst I'm playing.

[blinking halo]

im pretty sure sept. 1 will pass uneventful with no word from valve.

[DiSTuRbEd]

You act like they should care about September 1st. Its not a release date, its another work day. :rolleyes:

[jabberwock95]

One day away from the 'aimed for' release date, and...... nothing.

Looks like we have a bit more of a wait on our hands.

Lets see, whos the most conveniant person to blame? Begins with an 'L' and ends with an 'ombardi'? :)

[OmegaX]

I really doubt the game is coming out tomorrow. Or even anytime in September. VALVe would have said something by now.

[TheAmazingRando]

It would be sweet if Valve really did release DOD:S on Sept.1. That's my birthday!:thumbs:

[6Three]

I think DoD and LC will be released at the end of 1UP's media blitz :P

[DiSTuRbEd]

I think DoD and LC will be released at the end of 1UP's media blitz :P

That would be nice.

[Fuse Kazuki]

:O!!! Isn't the first tommorow!?

[Doppelgofer]

its now where i live

[Tyguy]

sept 1st and SUPRISE!!!! no dod

[DjBourgeoisie]

Not that I don't like Valve or anything because I do, but I knew they would not relelase a beta of dods on the 1st of Sept, because they are horrible when it comes to speculating on release dates. I hope its out this month though, hope they use the hl2 ragdolls instead of the stupid slow ones in css.

You obviously don't know how physics work.

[DjBourgeoisie]

You obviously don't know how physics work.

How so.

[jdufault]

You obviously don't know how physics work.

Disturbed is obviously just being a punk, dont listen to him...

We all know HL2's physics are different...CSS modified them, and we know that HL2's bodies fall faster and more realistically than CSS's.

Dont get techincal, you know what he god damn meant...

[Fuse Kazuki]

Wow..got me all excited for nothing, was REALLY looking forward to DOD:S because I didnt like the HL mod, and I thought this would be better, they just made my day worse.

[Tyguy]

why bother saying sept. 1st of they dont know if they can release it then? Its annoying......

[Niche]

Damn, and I thought today was going to be the day...

[1Luc1]

So i'm the only one who read this here: http://www.dayofdefeat.pexgames.com/ (http://www.dayofdefeat.pexgames.com/news/1125497150.html)

We're targeting late September for making DoD: Source available to everyone. At that time it will be available for purchase from Steam as well as in retail packs. And like CS:Src, we plan to continue to develop and expand upon it frequently via Steam's auto update functionality.


He said LATE SEPTEMBER !!!!!

So we have to wait one month for the release or another releasdate.
