I just received this mail from Doug Lombardi:

Day of Defeat?: SourceTM Available September 26

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.

Cant wait for it myself!

A tenner, eh? Might get it.

What is tenner supposed to mean?

English slang for a ten pound note (?10.00).
Most commonly used by teenagers.
1. "Got a tenner I can borrow?"
2. "I found a tenner inside my coat pocket today!"

Ah, the dictionary, didnt have one nearby unfortunately.

Most commonly used by teenagers.

Correction: commonly used by anyone under seventy.

Well that expanded my vocabulary...

I ought to get it, just to whore materials and models.

I Played DoD 24/7 in it's early day..

When the "crosshair" started to get fucked up.. moving and all, I stopped.

Never played since. Well, 1 time.. but it wasn't the same, I didn't liked it anymore.

So dod : source gets a 1/5 also! xD

You could turn off the CS-copy crosshair, you know.

And here, we have one fine example of a certain creatures that was unable to read the supplyed manual.

WTF cs-copy?

Meh, i'm allways lazy, know that.

No need for a tenner I got Silver
Hm I like DOD but I just get bored of war games after a while
I like new exciting games but this game will certainly have good sounds and make you feel like your really there

Send me a postcard when you fell like your there

I imagine just the latter.

I have the collecter's edition, don't get it for free not buying it, nice game, but don't buy it.

DoD 1.3 beta was the best. Some of the maps were crap, I know, but also fun. The following updates made it too realistic, with the POV shifting up when shooting. Some could say it was a nice touch, but for me it ruined the game. The first time I played I thought it combined the realism and some team oriented aspects of CS, and the freedom and fun of HLDM.
The old dod_omaha was such an unbalanced map ... it was fun!

3.1 all the way kasperg, i played it up to the bitter end, when only 7 servers remain you still would have seen me running around in dod_overlord storming the beach.
