What do people think of the new DoD:S update? They added achievements and nemesis functionality like in TF2. A few of the classes were also tweaked. Game stats were also added to players' Steam account pages.

It seemed like a lot of people playing last night were criticizing the update saying that they would play TF2 if that's what they wanted, but TF2 is a smash hit and DoD:S doesn't get much love. After not playing for a while the game was as fun as ever.

Any thoughts?

I think they demolished the longevity of the sniper class by going to the BF1942-esque 'kill camera'..

What the hell, kill cam in DOD? That doesn't even make sense. That really blows. I'll try it this weekend, but that sounds like complete ****.

My mistake; it's the "freeze cam"..sucks, doesn't it!

No. That's wrong. Incorrect. DoD obviously isn't "realistic," but the idea is that it's a very strategic game where you're not playing individual vs individual, but group vs group. Part of the game is only knowing a general direction of your attacker, and hoping to score a nade-toss on him next round. That's just a different game entirely.

Are you sure you want to?

Theres a free weekend.

Well, there's always RO if it turns out to suck too much.

most servers will likely disable the kill cam before long

DoD:S seems a lot more "arcadey" than I remember.

Yeah....I don't remember it being so much like Quake.

The idea of the new additions kind of annoys me, but I have yet to play the update.

People still play this game?

I play it a lot with my brother, it's great.

Played, and it was terrible. Entirely ruins the game.

I can't count the number of times I watched my team somehow lose in under 30 seconds. This didn't happen the last time I played...in fact I'm pretty sure it was impossible.

So, yeah, goin' back to RO.

Not gonna touch DoD:S until they give riflemen grenades and bring back buttsmacks and bayonets.

To be fair the riflemen should probably too out of range to use a grenade.

So how are you guys enjoying Day of Defeat Fortress 2?

You know what would be hilarious? If that free WW2 BF that's supposed to come out sometime turns out to actually be more realistic than DoD:S.

lol, I misread that as buttsecks for some odd reason
