Also (finally) emerging this evening: The very long-awaited Day of Defeat Source. I haven’t played much in the past year or so, but if DoD-S has managed to merge 1.0‘s already-excellent WWII FPS gameplay with HL2‘s immersive physics and graphics engine as rumored, this could get real ugly. So, DSSG‘ers, other long-time DoD’ers, and Robin Williams, best keep an eye out for the return of Liberty Lad, a freeborn man of the USA.

Tried it a little last night. Looks purty, but too cartoonish compared with the original. Also, they only have five maps, same ones as before.
I don’t mind the lack of maps…I’m sure there’ll be more very soon. But it’s surprisingly buggy. Several times I got hung up on another player and was forced to console-kill.
Nice to see you playing yesterday, Kevin!
The stuck thing was driving me mad (go prone to get unstuck, btw), but the really bad part is how resource intensive it is – I’m barely getting 40 fps, even after tweaking. Did you upgrade your video card on your computer?
Yeah, I picked up a Radeon 8800 (I think — the box is packed away in the closet) just after christmas, in order to enjoy Halflife 2 fully. But you’re right — it does seem to bog down quite often.
