DoD release date: summer?

[CptStern]

very brief mention in an interview with doug lombardi:


"The team is cranking to finish (DoD:S) this summer. We'll be showing more after e3, and I think folks are going to be pleasantly surprised by what's developed over the past few months."

so much for a spring release

 

[ACLeroK212]

Did you honestly believe the "spring" release goal though?

Pretty much any Valve comment on a release date in the past 2 years has been in the same exact format every time.

"We're [shooting for/trying for/hoping for/praying for/'know it's not going to be done in time but we'll say it anyways to get you off our backs' for] a [spring/end of spring/summer/end of summer/before Christmas/'some time before our heads explode from speculating on a million release date questions'] release."

I'm hoping just as much as anyone that it comes out as soon as possible, but I learned my lesson last summer, and I'm taking all current and future interview comments and estimates with one huge ass freakin grain of salt.

I dont expect anything, I just want to play the game

hey i didn't know you liked DOD, we should play sometime, do you have the same screen name?

 

[Dowie]

LOL, where have I heard that one before? .... :dozey:

 

[Dowie]

I wonder what the stuff is they have been working on that Valve hinted would surprise us

 

[SenorDingDong]

Mortars yo...

 

[ACLeroK212]

Mortars yo...

Yeah, good call. They always said they were working on including a mortar class for the current DoD, but it never went anywhere. I can't imagine a lot of servers using them though. Man did I hate the mortar spammers in Forest.

ah, comon, they weren't that bad. <3 forest to the max.

 

[Krynn72]

Negative!

usually stern or cptstern

YES !!! exaclty !!! :cheese:

I just could never get into liking forest at all. Although I would like to see what they could do with it in Source. It does have potential to at least be one of the best looking maps out there.

 

[Insano]

It has been a while since there was a new update for DoD: Src. Do you guys think that they are implementing new stuff like new models, etc?

 

[CptStern]

in an interview they said they were re-doing 95% of the content ...one could interpret that as meaning there will 5% new content ...hmmm a new gametype? objectives perhaps? they did say we'd be surprised

one could also interpret that as 5% of the content is staying the same.

 

[Mr. Redundant]

as my brother said to me yesterday...
"BF2 is going to be out before DOD:S, That's kinda sad"
and it's true.

in a, I won't have time to play it even though I bought it last year, because I will be too busy playing BF2... kinda way.

 

[CptStern]

one could also interpret that as 5% of the content is staying the same.

heh no my post was a bit misleading ..they said 95% will stay the same

 

[Revenge]

Hmm... They've also been talking about putting vehicles into DoD for a very long, long time as well... I wonder if they've gone ahead with that idea?

 

[ACLeroK212]

They said if they did they'd play a very minor role. Never anything on the scale of games like BF1942 or anything.

Personally I hope they leave em out for good. It's just not that type of game.

 

[Ennui]

in an interview they said they were re-doing 95% of the content ...one could interpret that as meaning there will 5% new content ...hmmm a new gametype? objectives perhaps? they did say we'd be surprised

I assume that means they're recreating 95% of the content, but not quite all - after all, sounds probably don't need a whole lot of touch-up.

Still, I bet they'll throw in a few new things. Maybe that Mortar class they talked about adding to Day of Defeat but never really did.

 

[Krynn72]

In a interview with Doug, it was said that they took DOD:S a bit farther than they had initially planned. He also said that HDR will be in it also. I dont know if there are any major changes though.

i wanna see the new models
