Does anyone here actually enjoy playing it?


I played it i thought it was pretty lame getting mowed down, and not even seeing anyone.


Ive also tried hiding in various places only to get shot without seeing anyone.


Is there something im missing?
 
It IS very hard. I can relate to your problems about not seeing anyone (which magnifies the problem of playing with cheaters when comparing to counter strike).

I don't think you are missing anything except perhaps some of the maps with less hiding places (I think in anzio, if I remember the name correctly, it is relatively easy to see people compared to like any of the ones with the massive amounts of wreckage, vehicles, etc scattered everywhere) might make it more enjoyable for you, and you really need to find a cheating protected server with half way decent teamwork going on to begin to enjoy the game. Oh, and not caring about your personal score helps alot too. ;)

Get familiar with the maps...the only one I remember where I regularly get "mowed down...not even seeing anyone" is the one with the huge bombed out church, and the large building across from it with a bridge in between.
 
Anyone else notice the HUGE advantage the Axis hold in almost every area of the mod? They have far better weapons; ie. the grenadier has FOUR grenades, a ONE SHOT = ONE KILL rifle, and TWO melee weapons, one of which you can use instantly because it's stuck at the end of your rifle, and the other one is an instant kill! They also have 2 choices for MG, one of them is superior to any other in the game, and they ALSO have a far better sniper rifle! To top it all off, they are almost perfectly camoflauged on most of the maps whereas the allies stand out like a sore thumb! Then there are map advantages, take dod_avalanche for example, the Allies have to fight uphill whereas the Axis get to fight downhill. Normally this wouldn't be much of an advantage in a game, but because of it the Axis can throw their superior number of grenadaes farther than the Allies can, they easily spam the Allies spawn point just about every time I play it (I know because I've spamed it a million times ;)).

oh, btw, I just stopped playing DoD and was getting wooped ... that's why the rant ;)
 
Because it's realistic. The only reson germany lost the war was because the spread them selfs to thin(well the main reson)

Any way more to the point yes they almost always have the advatage but I disagree on the rifle. There rifle isn't quite one shot kill. Depends on were you get hit. Second the rifle is bolt action meaning it takes forever to fire the next shot. And by the time they have fired and reloaded you can get off around 3+ rounds witch is more than enought to kill

I can't disagree on the MSG's tho there's rocks. But wanna try somthing fun? Get a machine gun find a nice little spot and plow away!

But really thats pretty much how things were. Germany was just more advanced at the time when it came to weaponry :\.And there for in the game there weapons are better

p.s. thats why Iam almost always on the german side when I play hehehehe
 
yeah I know the germans had most of the advantages in weaponry in the real war, but come on, this is a game that should at least try to be evenly balanced. What's most frustrating is that now that DoD 2.0 has been out for a bit, most people know that the germans have a lot of the advantages, so they always seem to choose that side. Suckers like me, who always choose "auto team" always end up on the allied side and end up getting spanked not only by superior weapons (and hard to see germans who usually have the map advantage too), but by superior numbers to boot. I'm all for realism, but multiplayer games like DoD need to be balanced too.
 
I love everyhting about DOD. I love it all...

I find myself playing it for hrs on end now. Love the weapons, ( I think the German gernadier is the best one ) but the allies have good machine gunners. I find htere more accurate than the germans.

Fav maps would be, avalanche, anzio, ramelle... heck, i like them all!

:D
 
do u guys get long range clipping problems that make u see thru some bunkers? (Most noticiable with sniper rifle, because...well...close up right?):D
I do, but then i dont wanna cheat by doing it, so i just look for where their head pops out.

Maybe i should turn off aniso and see what happens....

I don't get that where I can see through walls and stuff, but I do get it where the polys just don't show up past a certain distance. A limitation with the Half-Life engine I suppose.
 
I'm also a huge fan of DoD and I like 2.0 much better than 1.3

With 2.0 DoD has become much more like my second favorite game Operation Flashpoint. I just like realism, I quess.
 
it's vital that you memorize the maps
took me a few days to get to know them all

after that uphill it's pretty "easy" once you know where people could be ;)
unless you know the map your chances are minimal at best if you go up against experienced players

and yeah, the Axis team is better than the allies, but not to the point where it ruins the fun

Grenadier RULES, throw a few granades to clear some space and make them temporarilly retreat, get in position then *bang, bang, bang* take 'em all out
I actually find the "Grenadier rifle" better than the sniper rifle even for sniping purposes :) (as in the large bunkers on the normandi map)

neat textures, great voices, superb maps, cool "classes", nice gameplay system, great stamina feature etc.

DoD 2 kicks CS 1.4's ass eight days a week!

The animation showing the head snap back is awesome when you get a headshot - I don't think tyhere could be a better "you got a headshot" indicator than that :)
