Hi,

Browsing teh webz, as I usually do, I found this article on steampowered.com:

Day of Defeat?: Source? (DoD: Source), the latest version of the WWII online action game from Valve?, will be made available to gamers everywhere on September 26.

"Day of Defeat has quietly been one of the most played online action games for the past three years," said Gabe Newell, president and founder of Valve. "Day of Defeat: Source represents a major leap forward in both graphics and gameplay, and pushes the Source engine harder than any other Source project. "

DoD: Source takes the classic teamplay of DoD and expands the experience with Source, the engine technology Valve created for Half-Life? 2 and it's next generation of games. With this technology, DoD: Source offers state of the art graphics with optimized versions of popular maps and all new player, weapon and world models, plus support for HDR lighting.

DoD: Source leverages the power of the Source engine by introducing advanced sound technology to provide a more immersive soundscape and integrated physics simulation technology for ragdolls and physically simulated objects throughout each map.

Available via Steam for just $19.95 and in the Counter-Strike: Source retail package, DoD: Source is a rebuild from the ground up of Day of Defeat on the Source engine.

DoD: Source will be available for pre-load and pre-order next week. Those who purchased the Half-Life 2 Silver or Gold Steam offers will receive a request to pre-load the game at this time and will receive access to play the moment the game is made available.

We all knew it was goning to be the end of this month, but hey, an excact releasedate is always welcome, no?

I can't really say any more, but I will post a link to the thread where the DOD development team posted haikus about the games features, there are some pretty non-subtle hints there ;)

Also molotov_billy, one of the devs confirmed that you will be able to deploy MG's on any surfaces, even on barrels and such, then you will be able to shoot barrels from under the gunners :)

Wasn't the smartest thing to do, but being a intellectual is not my ambition. Allthough I naturally am, of course. :D


Oh yeah, and I'm an asshole too.
