Day of defeat
« on: September 02, 2001, 08:21:00 AM »
I haven`t been playing AH for financial reasons.I miss it I admit,but betatesting IL2 keeps me entertained as far as flightsims go.
Besides IL2 I`ve been playing the Half-Life mod Day of Defeat a lot as well.
I have a network with my roomates,and we`d go on the same server, try to work together,or cap one another.
Great fun,and it`s lot more reallistic than it seems at first look.
Requires great skills,and tactics to have a good frags to death ratio.
I recommend it to all,it`s a good break from AH,when You just need that time away from it.

See You in Caen fraggin` your bellybutton with my trusty MG44 assault-rifle.

It's the only game apart from AH that I play. The soldiers don't take ridiculously huge amounts of hits to die, and there's some brilliant maps out there (Caen, Radar, Cherbourg and Omaha are my personal favourites).

In terms of fun value, it beats the more realistic WW2OL hands down.

If anyone intrested in realistic, modern weapons shooter I highly recommend Infitration for Unreal Tournament. Check it out at www.planetunreal.com/infitration
To me that mod stand right behing Operation Flash Point.

Infiltration just pains me... it should be so cool, and I can't figure out why online it just blows...  how is 2.86?

DoD is fun, but everyone runs at 30mph... but I still play this one... Terrific weapons models, good sounds... good fast fun!

Day of defeat is indeed great.
I love those firefights in which you don't know how it's gonna end.

At first everything seems safe, the next moment a grenade blows your head off.  :)

And of course, lots of other things that can happen.

Yep
I got nice 4.1 surround speakers.
I was on the caen map one day,sniping in one of those windows upstairs at the plaza.All the sudden I hear steps closing from behind.I turn around,and sure there`s a allied dude with a tommy-gun jumps in the room.I nailed him right between the eyeballs.

What a blast.

Is this game "downloadable" or is it a boxed game?

I want it so I can hunt pvt.animal!

It's a free multiplayer mod for Half Life, like Counter Strike, but based in the WWII and with different rules (no more players jumping like Heidi  :D)

A bit of both.

I just got some cambridge soundworks 1800 4.1 speakers, and I know what yer talking about now Caligula.  Damn fun!

Do any of you use gamespy when you play?

We should all add onto each others buddy lists so we might find some people who are willing to team up.  You can search for me under 'Kratzer', email address is lefevre@qwest.net... I *think*... at work now.
