Day Of Defeat 1.1
<div class="IPBDescription">The Messiah is coming Tomorrow</div> SOLDIER! This briefing started at 0600, its now 0601 - do you need latrine duty to help you read the time? No? Didnt think so - grab a seat and listen up!
As you all know, the Nazi super weapon has devastating us for over 7 months. With all the power of a tactical nuclear missile, and instant accuracy in .0001 of second for even the most green Nazi, this relic of WW1 has stopped our advance on Berlin cold. Our garand has been rendered useless, our carbine is laughable, our machine guns have our foes rolling on the ground in hilarity and our battlegrounds are always heavily biased towards the enemy.
But tomorrow, our deliverance is at hand. At 4:30 PST (or at least some time this week), high command has promised an act of God that will magically smite the uberweapon of our enemies and boost our pitiful arms.
WIPE THAT EXPRESSION OFF YOUR FACE PRIVATE! Now I understand high command has promised this for months, and I understand that they lie like dogs time and time again and do everything they can to ruin this war for us - but this is the real thing. This is it. This is 1.1

So soon we'll know - will 1.1 be a new beginning for DoD, or the final nail in the coffin. I cant wait either way.

Is that good?
You lost?
+ rewrote bullet penetration to allow multiple penetrations
Also, I found this interesting:
- "mp_fadetoblack" now only works while in a clan match
So, they decided to make one of the few things that nearly all the community hates, and made you ALWAYS have the death cam? Great...
And if you actually think this is coming out when they say it is, I've got a lake to sell you in the Saharaa. Since when has the DoD team released a patch on time?
Aww man <!--emo&:angry:--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/mad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='mad.gif'><!--endemo-->
Ok, get this. You have a bolt action weapon. You find yourself in close quarters. The enemy comes! Startled, you perform a snapshot but miss or only wound the opponent. Now, you hop around like a bunnyrabbit on crack trying to recharge your bolt action, dancing between the bullets on his submachine gun.
British people everywhere tell warstories about that. Time and time again, enfield users have to resort to bunny hopping while they recharge the weapon. In real life on the field of WWI and WWII. It's as common as bagpipe players that also tap!
</sarcasm>
In real life, even if you started to recharge, you can JAM the pointy end of your killstick in his face and end it right there. But no, in the gaming world, you CANNOT start something while in the middle of something else. Heaven forbid. IMO, both the enfield and K98 SHOULD be able to interrupt the recharge and stab. The catch is, you have to recharge again afterwards in order to fire (no free rides).
Ah well. The retro feel? Unexpected but not too bad. The retarded bulldog? A crime against humanity, but DoD is fun, lets not hold it against them for doing 1-2 (or 3-4) bad things. Taking away my stabby stabby with the enfield? That's the last straw!
AAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!
~ahem~
wow... sounds like you guys are going through what happened in PSO... every new version was "we've definitely fixed it this time... honest... forces won't suck" and every version, oh boy did the forces suck <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

I could almost swear you couldn't bunny hop, none the less you're pointing out another flaw which has almost nothing to do with your quoted fix. Not only that, I'd find it quite hard to reload and use your extra 2 hands to stab at the same time </sarcasm>
Western Europe only. And yes DoD made a bad decision by going to Steam only.
urgh...
Question who are the mappers for the 3 new maps?
[Edit Switch : Izuno (Past: Vicenza)
Escape : Izuno
Flugplatz : Fuzzdad (Past: Glider)]
Here is one example of why I am growing more and more isolated from the DoD community. Many a year ago, there was a forum user named Gangs. Gangs posted on the DoD forums with the worlds stupidest ideas. Gangs is to DoD, as Smart_bomb is to NS basically... what with his constant cries for attack dogs...
Anyways, Gangs isn't the problem. He was dealt with long ago. Just idly chatting in the #dod channel, a few of the peons start to remember the good ol days and the topic of gangs came up. So a new user named gabagoose starts up... see gabagoose is an idiot. I remember idiots quite easily, because they tick me off. I know for a fact he started coming to the #dod channel around the 1.0 mark... I digress, this was his input to the discussion while we were remembering Gangs.
<gabagoose> what was his idea about spanish blacks....
<gabagoose> lol
<gabagoose> *racist comment about a black persons speed*
<gabagoose> something like that
<gabagoose> the captain get a horse!
<+Infinitum> gabagoose... stop pretending like you were f****** around when gangs was. F****** 1.0 newbie.
<gabagoose> *words that may not be uttered*
<+Infinitum> How about you stop pretending like you're f****** cool and just admit you have no **** idea who gangs is.
Excuse the language, but the DoD forums and irc have made all the old users quite bitter... that isn't the point though... I just hate the giant influx of idiots like gabagoose we got once 1.0 came out... I miss the old days when dod actually had a cool community like NS... *sigh*
No hate in here.

Shut up Catpoker. Nobody likes a whinger
[/joke]
We all love ya, Teamwork works guy.
[edit]Because he said the NS.org forums have no hate
You can stop in the middle of cycling the bolt, and stab someone in the face in real life. In the previous version, this can also be done with the enfield (although not with the k98).
^ makes me sad.
I mean, why the f**k did they put that in?? this isnt battlefield 1942 where you have huge maps and it helps to have something like that, but in DoD?! what, some six year old playtester couldnt find the sniper in the tiny halflife maps, started crying and told mommy to tell valve to put in death cam so he could kill the pesky sniper after only his first kill.
F*&% you DoD team.
(friggin sell outs)
edit: and yes I know you can disable the death cam but the majority of servers leave it on cause there too stupid/lazy to turn it off.
