Day of Defeat!
I had some MORE bad BF2 games (I can't ever seem to join the GOOD team, and no, I'm not bad enough to drag a whole team down :roll: )
so I loaded up DOD. Played a bit, but had an issue with the in-game browser incorrectly saying how many players were on a server. Kept refreshing, would say there was 16 players and tell me how long they'd been playing (with updated time every time I'd refresh) but I'd load and no one would be there.
Broke out DOD: Source, and had a good series of games. Good, in that no one was using the comms to tell us, in detail, how he'd really like to fellate someone (No kidding, my first DOD:S game, some joker wouldn't shut up about that), good in that there were no intentional TK's, and ppl apologized when accidents occurred. Maybe all the jerks moved on to BF2 😀
So I bookmarked that server, and will be trying others in the near future. . .it's running a server-side 'reality' mod where the camera goes black when you die, starts you off with 89 health for more 1-shot kills, and a couple other things I forget. I don't care for the black screen of death, but everything else seemed OK. I had a brief look at a new map, and it looked good.
It won't replace BF2, but DOD:S is nice from a pure groundpounder perspective. I get tired of the air power killing me out of the blue, and the armor parades, sometimes.
