i love dods, wanna get the game but i outdid my quota :<

i hope they lower the unproned fire on the heavy MG

I actually hated the heavy MG when I first started playing the game, but I've come to appreciate it more as a challenge. I love nothing better than going assault, tossing smoke, charging the MG with a flank and then hurling a nade up his arse. Total satisfaction.

Now, snipers ... I wish servers wouldn't allow so many in game. Ugh

All servers I visit have them restricted to 1 or 2 maximum per team! I'm uploading a Youtube video of this music introduction for you all to hear...it's...amazing.

Add that shit to CSS already.

Imagine all the CS:S gamers after Valves blood if they even try to touch the way the game works.

I think they'll declare a jihad.

Very enjoyable. However, I don't see how the hell I am going to get any of the achievements seeing as I'm not very good at this game

(oh, don't bother trying for achievements in game yet, because when the update finally comes, all achievements will be wiped anyway)

Are there only new achievments and score board or did they also change gameplay aspects? (Recoil e.g)

^ Garand recoil was reduced recently, but that's it regarding actual "gameplay aspects" to use your words.

If you have Day of Defeat: Source, just look in your list of uninstalled games. (you can thank Fat_Swinub for this info as I couldn't find it myself either!)

One of the greatest rounds I have ever played (especially as Sniper!!):

Pretty huge changes there. Imagine if they changed how the bullets worked in CS . I think thousands of players would quit there and then. I'm useless at CS so it wouldnt bother me of course.

Would love that. CSS spread is complete BS, and the original was soooo much better.

Time it takes to bring the Garand to sight is atrocious. If it was that slow for allied soldiers...Then they would have had major problems in WWII.

Palmero is fantastic - a great, exciting, close combat map.

Tried it a little while ago. It's MASSIVE win. I love the freezecam simply because now I can scope out my enemies and get revenge. I did that for one guy who sniped me 3 straight times...went into assault class, found him, punched him to death with the Thompson melee.

But heaps of people would come from 1.6.

I want to see these for CSS, despite what you haters say. CSS is still incredibly popular, DoD:S doesn't appear to have nearly as many players yet they update DoD:S to be able to use multicore. All I want is multicore support for CSS dammit!
