And why not?
If you've had win, were 'in the zone', on top form, whatever, why not shout about it.

Just give the piccy a spin through your favourite graphics editor first of all to slim it down a bit.

Hi Moon,

Well you only won because I wasn't playing :), belive that and you will believe anything! :D

Gimme a shout when you want some target practice.

Regards

Can someone explain Day Of Defeat to me? Been hearing a lot about it.......

[Squeaky]

Hi Bap

Well lets see....

its a WW2 mod, you play either axis or allies. each side have following classes: sniper, heavy weapons (heavy machine guns), assault (machine gun and grenades), and light infantry (rifle). The lighter equipment types move faster. 1 or 2 maps are heavily sniper biased, but with only a certain number allowed most are not too bad regardless of class. Both sides have a base and spawn area - some maps are territory based so you must capture flag points, others have simple missions (blow up the dam etc) with a definate defending and attacking team.

The damage and movement are not hyper realistic like say Counterstrike, though you can not 'bound around' like UT - you have a certain amount of stamina, the ability to take multiple hits/damage and only a few seconds wait to respawn between kills - a finely balanced compromise for playability.

like all the HL mods its slower than UT giving a little more time to co-ordinate team movement - but far more lightweight than your average counterstrike game.

I find it as easy to drop into a game as UT but less frantic and with more scope to play a good team role. Saying that its equally possible to play the game without team communication at all - though less satisfactory imho.

I could never get into CS (played a couple of times - some players online not very sympathetic to newbies so never again for me)
Frontline Force would be more preferable modern combat mod.

[Baptizer]

sounds cool! sounds like a better version of the castle wolfeinstien demo!

[Squeaky]

yes your right..but much simpler graphically (HL is old afterall!) - in fact my favourite DoD map is Omaha Beach - much like the wolfenstein test

[Topher]

Squeaky, I agree mate. I've had loads more fun on Frontline Force than CS. FLF rocks!! :D

It's hard to get into CS, if your a newbie and get shot straight away you can spend alot of time waiting. :(

Boy, I can't wait to get broadband again next friday! :D

OK I've got to know...MrP did you EVER find your way to the oppositions base?? :D

No..honestly, tell me :)

[jozzer]

I should start UT and go back to check....It was 3 months ago when I logged out of the multiplayer game.....he shud have found the base by now!!!

How about another bash guys???I'm staying in a flat in london with Timicom (another ninja)....and we have broadband setup!!We could manage some serious teamwork!

[Squeaky]

Jozzer..I don't even have the game installed!!! nevermind retaining any ability. But..if we can drum some interest again ?? I'm up for it..and UT too :D

[jozzer]

hehe...poor squeeky...the little mice taking up all your free time?
Well...Penfolds server seems to be down...If we can find a meeting place we already got 3...maybe we can drag Nitan in and use him as "original fragbait":P

[moonraker]

Hi jozzer, if you have broadband maybe you could put up a server?

[888]

Penfolds server has been down for over a week now :( .....getting withdrawl :errrr:
I PM'ed him a while ago about it - but he musn't have read it yet.
I've got admin rights to the server, but I think it needs to be restarted - coz I cant get into it :(

[moonraker]

Nightmare:eek:
Have you tried jolt.co.uk servers.
They have quite a few and I almost always get a decent ping on there. (Not that such matters concern you LPB's :D )

[888]

:D
I'll give Jolt a try.
I've been playing on Blueyonder's servers. My ping advantage has gone though, coz most of the players on there are with Telewest broadband too :(. Not doing too badly though.
