DoD: Source wil pwn CS: Source

[Dashel]

I am definitely looking forward to DOD on Source. Now if the NS guys would just get a move on... :)

[Varsity]

VAC isn't really being updated any more: the effort has moved onto VAC2, or whatever the Source version of it is.

Wish there was a Source Natural Selection. maybe change the alien side to more of a ranged focus class. I like the Idea, just don't like playing the aliens much.

A predator mod would be cool...

:sleep:

I get tired of DoD after two hours...

:yes: CS>DoD. Wouldn't have it any other way.

[Qarth]

if it weren't for the culture of the CS society I would probobly play more. But to play and constantly see "1 0wn3d joo" and all the "1337" speech makes me want to jump in the tub with a toaster. I guess I'm just a "n00b" ;)

No clue why The Specialists isn't going to be ported. On their forums, everytime a post is made a with a suggestion of porting to Source the answer "no" is given followed by an insta-lock.

I assume that they aren't going to make a decision until either

a) They have seen the Source engine for themselves in better detail

b) the modding community kicks off

That would totally offset the game though. The marines are the ranged rance, the aliens melee. Maybe you just need to practice more. ;)

Chode, it seems like many of the modders have that sentiment. The NS boards are the same, though I think Flayra trying to start his own gaming company has a lot to do with it.

No, haven't had any problems that I know of.  Not like people flying around in CS or walking through walls.  But since you are so well read on the hacks I guess you know what you're talking about. 

Cheating isn't fun anyway, just a waste of time.

Flying around and walking through walls are not hacks/cheats., They are MAP exploits which are fixed through updates. And you don't really fly around or walk through walls. There were a couple maps where you could walk on top of the map or pop through part of a ceiling...

DoD was and still is the *only* war game I ever really got into, BF1942, Mohaa, all the others bored me to death

what you just described sounds a hell of a lot like no clip, as far as hacks go, there are plenty of them out there, even if you have "never" played with anyone who hacks there are people who are extremely subtle about it. to the point where you would never even know. as long as people wanna cheat there will be hacks

Im a keen CS and CS:S player...

... i have never ever played or even seen a screenshot of DOD :ninja:

Agreed!

The problem with DoD is that unlike CS in which the Dev team actually listens to the good players, they just do random stuff to appease the terrible pub players who have no skill. Dod 3.1 Beta required 10x more skill than 1.3 retail will ever require.

However, I am anticipating Dod:S.

[Varsity]

Beware: elitism detected!

Listening to the actual community instead of the minority with the loudest mouths is the bravest and best decision a dev team can make.

[Dashel]

Not even Varsity, pandering to the lowest common denominator is why you end up with things like NS:Combat :x

It is a balancing act. Anything friendly enough for all pubbers will not do well in the clan scene while going too far the other way will put off n00bs and won't draw in the vital new players.

[Acezo]

Really looking forward to DoD:S too. I enjoy it more than I do CS (not saying that I don't enjoy CS however :D)

[Nocstar]

:yes: DOD:Source promises to be fun as hell, but cs is well... cs, Its like that chick you dont wanna bone anymore...but you keep going back. :D

The Specialist source would just be sick!! very cool game, i can imagine it taking full advantage of source engine.

Natural Selection is also an elite game because simply, i've never seen a mod that was so well done, as in people having a comander like in starcraft or something. Once we actually got a pro Warcraft player to be our commander and we owned every game, those where the days....

All these would be cool on Source, I love the Half-life mod community!! :cool:

No doubt about it. They are the best.

Not quite.

By catering to the pubbers I mean things like changing recoil, accuracy of weapons, and things of that nature. Stuff that in beta were'nt a problem. However once retail came out randomness in the firing cones of the rifles was added, as well as slower reload bolt times, and more recoil for some guns. All these things which were changed in an attempt to make the game "easier". Funny thing is, some of it was changed in the later versions because of how bad they were.

Clan players will push the game past what it will be on its own. Do you think CS would be as popular as it if they didnt cater about 60% to clan players and 40% to pubbers.

I'm not saying clan players are all knowing, however, if changes are to be made they should be the ones beta testing etc simply because they know how to push the game to see if the changes are good or bad.

oh forgot [/rant] :rofl:

For me DoD is boring ! bf1942 is better , COD ...

[L3thal Veteran]

I had DoD installed and I liked it quite a bit. It took less than 2 weeks before I uninstalled it. It just doesn't match up with CS in my opinion.
