Anyone want a game of DoD ?

[throdgrain]

I know its never been the most played game on BW, but there are a few of you out there ...
last night I had to resort to a game on Jolt, and a bigger bunch of whiners you couldnt imagine. It was horrible! One bloke called "private" , which is the DoD equivilent of "player" in cs btw, accusing everyone who killed him of cheating. His score was 6-30 .
Gah !
Go on, couldnt we organise a game and get one one BW server going, if only for an hour ?

 

[Luggage]

I'm up for some WWII action, I'm shite at it though.....

But hey what's new in that

Let me know when and where.

Bookable/Public ?

 

[throdgrain]

May as well use a public server Luggage, seeing as since Ive been liason the only person on there has been, well, me, so if we were to get more people on it would only be a good thing
What time suits you ? Any time is ok for me . One night in the week ?
I could possibly drag Fishy and maybe Nago along too. SG, you like a bit of DoD, how about you ?

 

[S-Gray]

heh i *love* DoD.

If you could get enough people on the server for a game, say what? about 4 a side or somethin, would make it good.

 

[-adz-]

No!

 

[throdgrain]

/ignores Adz

Right well we are getting there, see how many more peeps post How about say, wednesday, 8.00pm until whenever ? BW1 pubby server ?

 

[Scooba Da Bass]

I've been told I have to download this, however I have never ever played it, so I shall attend, but no laughing at my newbie skills.

 

[S-Gray]

heh its a very good game. Summo use to play it, dont know if he still does... Was funny playin with him heh

*bagsy going Sniper!*

 

[Daffeh]

put me down for this

any chance of getting some custom maps on the servers Throd?

 

[throdgrain]

Not a bad idea tbh Maybe we could have one server with custom maps , and one with normal . Ill look into it later Daf.
Nice one Scooba, you're a star
8 oclock wednesday 29.1.03 then. Sound.
Dont think im going to stop pimping though !

 

[Moving Target]

I'll probably turn up...I'm uber. Really. I am. I hate you.

 

[Daffeh]

cool thx Throd

custom maps *may* attract some new peeps onto BW's DoD servers, as very few uk servers run anything but the 'official' maps. Well last time i checked at least, now i only use my favourite custom servers in Germany and Austria

 

[TipTop]

Please tell me I haven't missed the only BW DoD get together of 2003? As for Daffeh's idea that's not a bad ask. Would certainly get 2 people using the server (me and Daf!). It's a real problem atm as ideally we need to open the server to the freeloading public, as we have 0 usage on the DoD servers. Alas I feel BW needs to rethink the 'better but lesser' mods (oops I meant game.net).

 

[throdgrain]

8 O'clock wednesday 29.1.03 . The day after tomorrow TT. You have the time !
Be there or , well, be somewhere else !

 

[S-Gray]

Just gimme good notice on what Custom Maps you're gonna use.... so i can download em all

 

[throdgrain]

Wont use any custom maps for wednesday, I think that would be asking a little bit too much.
I expect summat like good ol Caen 2 / Anzio / Rammelle might do us just fine, depending on the amount of people who show up.

 

[throdgrain]

Whilst Im here , Daffeh ! Happy birthday !!

 

[Johnny Bravo]

We got a BWCSL game at 7.30, but I'll stick my nose in afterwards, I love a game of DoD.

[quick off topic paragraph]

Oh and I'll drop in #xatrix at some time too, it looks like ntl have finally sorted out my connection probs, so we can have that game with KEA. I was thinking this Thursday if its not too soon guys

[/off topic paragraph ]

 

[fishykea]

i shall be there throd

 

[Daffeh]

ta throd.....but i forgot about the game and organised a night out on Wednesday, so more than likely i wont make it :/

sorry chaps

 

[Scooba Da Bass]

Daf sucks, his one night out a year and he picks the night for DoD

 

[throdgrain]

Its a sad choice he's made and no mistake
Oh well. You got all your download type stuff sorted scooba ? If you need to know anything just shout

 

[Scooba Da Bass]

I presume so, I'm patched up to 3.1 which I gather is the latest. I've got a mate showing me the basics tomorrow so I won't bog you down with questions like 'WHERE IS TEH HOSTAGES?'

 

[S-Gray]

Yeah 3.1 is the latest.

Such a good game tho..... Would rate it close to Battlefield

 

[Trem]

Well, Wayne(Kungfoo)has put it me on a disc and I'm gonna install it again today, I work Wednesday nights though

 

[throdgrain]

Thats a shame Tremor , what time do you finish ?
Yeah it is a very good game Scooba, though you may miss not having any tanks I dunno. To me its the tanks that makes BF1942.
This DoD business is ultra realistic imo, no firing half a clip into a bloke just for him to kill you and run off with low health. One bullet from a Kar98 kills you dead
And no mystery disappearing bullets that you get in cs, if you fire a machine gun down an alleyway on DoD pretty much everything in the way gets it
On the negative side its not as pretty as BF, Id have to admit that, and the maps are obviuosly no way as big, but thats the Half Life engine for you .

 

[1tchy trigger]

... and of course the problem of being picked off by camping basts without ever seeing your enemy

 

[S-Gray]

im not one of them...

*me hides in bushes with sniper*

 

[throdgrain]

With DoD theres always more than one route to an objective, you just have to look for it. And if you been shot by a camping bastard at least you got 15 seconds before you can go back and hit him with a spade, unlike cs mmm ?

 

[S-Gray]

hehehe i love knifing snipers/paras on DoD... on Caen2 i use to hide in that Window where the Axis Snipers camped, and because it was so dark, i hid in the corner, i must have got around 4people all at once with a knife when they didnt expect it, then i just ran and hid again... and waited.. and got em again whooo so much fun heh
