The servers are already allowing you to preload the game and if you order it now you'll save $2.00.

Remember this, the sooner you do it the better because as the time goes by the servers will get more and more traffic as the day comes for the official release.
Don't even think about downloading it the day of .... Besides save the $2.00 bucks and have it ready for September 26th!

I will be installing the server as soon as the server version comes out (Its supposed to be released shortly after midnight this evening. I will then install the server and fire it up, so that at 3PM, it will be up and ready to go :D The server will probably be called "Kampfgruppe DOD Source" Any suggestions for the server name are welcome :)

Gas,

That sounds good to me, I am not sure how they are going to set it up but if they allow Friendly Fire, should we have FF in the Title like the CS servers do?
I can't tell you how much I have been looking forward to this.... I have only been at work for a little over an hour..... becuase I am looking forward to playing, this day is going to take forever.....

A KG Server.... How Frickin awesome is that!

Last night was awesome...

I think we found a few guys that were really cool team oriented players in Snowcrab? or something like that.... at least they were Ex-clan members .

I dig our server big time and at the same time I can't believe the idiots that were talking trash to us on our server.... LOL

KG_AGCent

09-27-2005, 01:24 PM

I don't find it hard to believe, there are shitballs all over the face of FPS land. But since we have been able to carve our little section of land out in the world of small-minded smacktards, we can now clean it up and make it a nice and pretty place to play in.

Bulldog and Azriel were the name of the players. Bulldog was a definite team player, cooperation and communication from him were awesome. Never spoke with Azriel, maybe tonight.

As far as my impressions of the game; so far its OK. Graphically nice. The game play seems way too fast though. If there were a way to slow it down, drop the damage done by SMGs and STG/BARs in order to give the iron sight players a fighting chance, I think it might some potential. Right now it is waaaaay too much like Unreal Tournament. The maps need to be much bigger with more open areas to encourage more team play.

KG_GASXTREME

09-27-2005, 01:55 PM

Its funny, I personally felt it was kind of a blend between BF1942 and CS. As crazy as that sounds, its like BF1942 because you can respawn and its got a hint of that "comical fun" element in it, which I find absent in CS. But, also at the same time, I find it to be like CS in a way, like with the bullet spray, that is absent in BF1942......

In many ways, its a perfect blend for me.... Its funny, in CS I struggle to even keep my kill/death ratio even, but in the first round of the DOD server, I was whooping ass, and I actually got first place (on our team atleast). I am really diggin it :)

Now, we just need to make sure we keep the server active so that people will come in.... Most people looking for servers filter out the empty servers, so we need to be in there together as much as possible.

As for RCON, I am going to write a little tutorial and send the link to those who have stated that they are interested. Please make sure you know what you are doing before you do it.

KG_GASXTREME

09-27-2005, 02:32 PM

Okay great news, I just found a much easier way to admin the server, and you don't need the rcon pass, and you need pretty much no technical knowledge at all! Please PM me your STEAMID and I will set you up :)

To find your steamid, join any server, then press the ~ key which will take you into console(you might have to enable console first: Options, Keyboard, Advanced, Enable developer console), then type status and press enter. You should see a list of all the people in the server (this is best done in an empty server) and besides your name, you should see like "STEAM_0:0:1234567" That is what I need.

After you have sent me your STEAMID, then go into the ingame console again and type:
bind "a" "admin"

NOTE: exchange the "a" with the letter you'd like to use to bring up the admin menu, so for instance, to make it so that you press the h key to open the admin menu, put:
bind "h" "admin"

Okay, now that you are done with all the technical stuff, you can have some fun with it. This administration interface is LOTS of fun! You can blind people, freeze people, turn people into time bombs, turn people into freeze bombs, and even turn them into a beacon..... LMAO Please do not use these things unless the person deserves it. NO ADMIN ABUSE.

Bulldog and Azriel were the name of the players. Bulldog was a definite team player, cooperation and communication from him were awesome. Never spoke with Azriel, maybe tonight.

Azriel played pretty good (team-wise) the only drawback was that he wasn't very vocal when I was playing on his team. He tended to go off on his own but when you play with someone new it takes awhile to get used to the other person.

I would still have him on my team thats for sure.

My how awesome it is to have our own server!

KG_CrimsonTrooper

09-28-2005, 12:40 PM

I am disappointed in the fact that they only have 4 maps ..... I was hoping for at least 6 to 8 but if the DoD:Source is anything like the CS crowd we should have custom maps within a week or two.

Except for the occasional lag spikes at the most inopportune times I am very pleased with the game.

The EX |Snowcrab| Bulldog is a very cool player.... not a smack talker, gets a little miffed if you don't communicate every few seconds but other than that the guy seems like a stand up guy.

This is the ULTIMATE in recruiting weapon....Having our own server with which to monitor people....

KG_Noggs

09-28-2005, 02:08 PM

So for they only have 5 maps

KG_CrimsonTrooper

09-28-2005, 02:36 PM

Anzio
Flash
Avalanche

and I forget the other one....

Let me preface that by saying that since I have admin rights along with GasX and AGC, they only give us access to 4....

The last map is Donner. I thought maybe I had a corrupt installation of the server because i only had 4 maps installed, but when you look at all the other servers on the net, those are the only 4 maps available :'( Oh well, It was a cheap release, and I'm still very happy :)
-steve

Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love the game and after visiting the official Day of Defeat Forums, custom maps will be arriving shortly...

Last Night was a lot of fun.... We had the following players:

KG_GASX
KG_Soldier
KG_ArmyGroup
KG_AGCent
KG_Cooper
KG_Crimson
as well as Bulldog

Bulldog played VERY well as a team with us last night ESPECIALLY on Avalanche where we played a marathon game and just lost at the last second because the rest of our team just sucked by going rambo's on us....
Bulldog is a very nice guy who is very team oriented... I am very impressed with him so far. I hope he contines to play with us on our server and logs onto TS more.

P.S. The first time we split up into groups was freaking awesome...finished the game in record time.... We should keep doing that to perfection every chance we get...

Bulldog and I sat and chatted for about and hour after the rest of you guys left last night about different ways to win on the Avalanche map. He used to play on a CS 1.6 and DoD PROFESSIONAL league. He has some great ideas but it will require some practice in timing as well as some dry runs as a team so each of us understands the roles we take. If you are willing to do this, we can prevent a repeat of the disasterous finish to Avalanche we had last night.

We lost yes.... but it was a really really tough and hard fought contest which we at the eleventh hour lost. IMHO , we lost because of the other Non-KGer's would help out...they pretty much went sniper and that killed our effectiveness...working in the 2 man teams that we had were perfect, plus getting to know the map ( hiding places, etc ) will help out tremendously. Like the way I showed you how to get to the church without having to go through the front door anymore will help because last night I was getting killed everytime I peeked around the corner to get to the front door. I now can get to the church (inside) in just a few seconds now that I found the shortcut that provides cover....

It will be a different story the next time we play... Soldier and I should be able to control that area failry quickly!

I look forward to our next engagement.

IIRC the other team had just as much "cannon-fodder" as we did. What held us back was lack of familiarity with the map, lack of familiarity with the game mechanics, lack of definition of roles (ie. who does what on each team, what weapons pack to select to properly fulfill that role and how the roles compliment each other in fulfilling their objectives) and how each team compliments or supports the other teams.

KG_GASXTREME

09-30-2005, 12:28 AM

I wouldn't mind really getting together regularly and start really nailing down some of these maps. I have found a fair share of shortcuts, underground passages ect on one of the maps (forgot the name) and I think with some practice we can cook up a really good squad of guys. I wouldn't mind entering into a little tourney like we did with COD a while back :)

There are cool maps being talked about in the costom map thread

KG_CrimsonTrooper

10-04-2005, 12:49 PM

I played a few new maps yesterday:

Runoff,
It was pretty cool although because of the spawn locations never being the same and sometimes you spawn in the middle of 3 to 4 enemy...could get old.

Giza,

You play on a huge map (Egypt) in the desert, can be fun but the 2 servers I played it on were laggy. A very cool idea but with a few modifications it could be a really good map.

Forgot name of map,

It's a freakin HUGE environment, I don't think I have played on a larger map before. It's played in the snow, Mostly a sniper map but it could be modified as far as limiting the teams by not allowing sniper rifles... then it would make it a much more enjoyable map. It has flags you have to capture...could be a really cool map if redone properly.

KG_Noggs

10-04-2005, 02:44 PM

Just because you don't like it doesn't mean its a "stupid" game, or it "sucks". Not every game is going to fit your image of how a good game should be, sometimes games just play a little differently.

Are there things I don't like in DOD:S? Yes! Is it still worth playing? I think so.

Plus, for $20 you can't beat it, thats ATLEAST half the price of any of the other new games that are out.... I was at best buy the other day and they want me to shell out $50 for COD2.... survey says: Hell No! -steve

The first map 43-4 and the following map 57-20! You know your having a GREAT day when the opposing team keeps yelling at you......

A few more nights like that and I just may take a liking to their server after all.....

I'm with Noggs on this one still. I reinstalled the game just to see if things had unsucked witht the intervening 3 monthes. even after the 500 megs of updates, patches and fixes it is still a buggy, lag-ridden bunny-fest full of pimply-faced pre-teens whose testicles have yet to drop.

02-06-2006, 01:24 PM

Last night Herr Cooper and I played on the IGO server for a few hours and I have to say that I am getting better and better with the MG, I now might be changing my mind as to which I prefer ( MG42 Versus .30 Cal ) Last night on Bleak Hill, I had a career night ( so much that several IGO clans gave me some props ) I was on the Allies ( after playing both sides on that map I now know that Bleak Hill gives a VERY unfair advantage to the Allies ) I reached the top of the hill and placed my MG on the broken down structure that faces the hill the Germans have to advance over to get any flags. While we played the map for probably 20 mins? maybe a little longer I racked up a score of 102 - 22

Once Herr Cooper and I were set up on the same building the German Army became swiss cheese....

ROCK ON Herr Cooper!

Next time and perhaps from now on, challenge yourself and take the Jerry's on that map. Anyone can take advantage of an obvious map flaw, its something else to pwn in spite of it.

That was the first time I have ever played as the Allies on that map and as a sworm Wermacht player I always thought it was an Allied Advantage map.....

Ask anyone, I always play as a Jerry, Only when the server won't let me ( I will usually wait a minute or two of continuous trying to join the Wermacht ) will I even think about being an Allied trooper....

Regardless of the map... I am getting better and better..... Look out you Riflemen & SMGer's.... This MG is going to take you out!
