Nvidia GeForce 6800GT 128MB AGP 4x/8x
Highest Settings.
AA x8
AF x4
All HDR Settings on highest.
I get about 30+ FPS at nearly all times, except right after explosions that are followed by lots of gunfire, which then lowers me to no lower than 15 fps.
It runs alot smoother than CS, thankfully, even though I get better FPS in CS.
The classes have been reduced to 6, the rifle classes have been merged. The greasegun is gone and the tommy gun replaces it. Bazooka class gets an auto-fire pistol. Thompson kicks more booty than it does in 1.3. BAR is more accurate with slightly less damage, which is too little to even try to compare. Rifles are same as 1.3, but the Iron Sights are only good for medium to longe range if you're not under direct fire. MGs seem less powerful, but still as accurate as they are in 1.3. Grenade priming is still in, and you can still pickup and throw them back; even on the rifle-launched grenades. The rifle-launched grenades have a 5 second timer like normal grenades, but they DO NOT explode on-impact. Maps are well designed, but one thing that sucks about Avalanche is that U.S. Army (the new Allies), are able to get into the spawn of the Axis (they too have a new name, but I can't spell it).
HDR KICKS MAJOR BOOTY!!
I will post some screenies next time I play; I was too happy to play DoD again to think of screenies... |

I'm a bit upset at the massive recoil with Iron Sight on. Since the sight takes up half my damn screen, its too hard to move my mouse waay down to shoot twice.
I hear there's some launch exploits regarding switching weapons and insta-refilling ammo and such, luckily since they use STEAM, patches are quick and easy.
Recoil seems a bit higher than non-source, but its all pulling straight up, so pulling the mouse down while going full-auto is all it takes.
I do wish they would have kept all the classes. The splash BG on startup shows an Axis sol with the greasegun (I think) but that class is gone. I also am sad the some weapons lost their riflebutt ability. That was fun.
Overall, good port, now to wait for them to iron out some of the kinks. |

I can vouch for the server software being buggy as all heck...took me HOURS to get one up and running and somewhat configured. A little more testing...and I'd like to try it out with some of you:
Chips' Fun House / -[CfH]-Guild / DOD:Source
67.80.208.117:27011
Got Mani Mod working...so I have some admin capabilities...and the goofy sounds are there too, just a handfull. Not the 150 we have on the TFC server.
Perhaps Anshin, Aud and SoldierBoy can help me test it for a bit this evening |

I will more than likely put this up at around 7:00 pm eastern time...just to run through a few maps and see how it performs for others. I myself have had issues...more than likely cause I'm running the server and playing on the same machine. Again, I'd like to see how it performs for others. |

Thanks to Aud, Demasu and SoldierBoy (along with a handfull of everyday players) that stopped in to check it out. It's not without it's problems...initial high pings...delays in map changing etc. But it went okay.
There's only 4 maps...I think I'll just set each to 1 hour instead of 30 minutes. Kept losing people during the map changes.
All in all, a little more tweaking and we could have some fun with this. |

It was good for me(except for the long wait in-between maps) until it was 4 vs 2 |

That usually happens? I thought the server crashed. |

It would be awesome to have the server back up again.
And so did I SB, but I really wanted to play so I checked back and it was up again. |

It didn't go down...it took horribly long to change maps. More than likely cause I play on the same machine. I have the same problem with CS:Source...but nowhere near this bad. The first map change...I think it took ME about 5 minutes to get in...because the server and my game had to load it.
I'm sure with some tweaking and some updates from valve...it will be smoother next time. At least when we got in...it seemed to run well.
Was fun...tks.wav again. |
