Actually starting to look like something now.

[quote:f300a]In other news, HL2: Lost Coast (the upcoming free Half-Life 2 map for Half-Life 2 owners which showcases HDR rendering technology) is nearing completion and will be released soon on Steam. We're going to include a bit of extra content with Lost Coast, which we haven't mentioned yet... watch this space for details.

kewl

finally got new models and skins

[quote:b9122]Play-testing Day of Defeat: Source has taken over the Valve offices. We're expecting DoD fans and new players alike to have a blast with the game when it's released later this summer. Polishing work is being done right now on the player animations, as well as lighting work on the various maps. Current favorite features include the new grenade stun effect, and the ability to deploy the machine gun on any surface.

Those who are familiar with the game will recognize the area in the two screenshots below from the map "Donner".

The player models look great but the textures look bland.

The german uniforms need to be green like they were in moh, grey doesn't really look right.

^ lol was about to say yeah it is but that says it all. biggrin:

Unifroms have no texture what-so-ever. Otherwise its sex.

Sure as hell isn't when I go to shoot it. Notice in the bottom most picture especially that he's in no position to fire. His right hand isn't even on the trigger and having his left hand so far down on the magazine wouldn't work well for control at all.

Also notice the guy in the background looks like a yeti.

WTF is that .30 Cal sittin on?... it sure as hell isn't a bipod/tripod.

The top pic is the way ive seen it being fired in some old videos plus a lot of pics on the web, holding it further down the mag like in the bottom pic it would be harder to control as you said.

Its a bipod plonket on top of a tank and deployed, you can now deploy mg's on any surface you want according to the little steam article. The bipod looks odd prolly cause you can;t see much of it.

What did it look like before? Because it looks like shit now. oOo:

[quote="Chronic Diarrhea":6c45f]What did it look like before?[/quote:6c45f]Worse.. if you can believe that.

LOL, then it must have looked like the original DoD, because this looks about as good as MOHAA. Granted, I don't care about graphics that much, I still play MOHAA, but you'd think 3-4 years later things would improve.

The models look to "smooth", like clay action figures. They gotta make some wrinkles in there, by the usage of super-hypex-piper-holy-poly-bump-mipmapping.

how could you agree with anything that he says?

I'm a dependable and honest kind of guy.

Yeah the models look like crap to me.

this is a total letdown, it looks like shit. Its looks to be in competition with graphics such as cod, mohaa. Not HL2, BF2, Doom3 etc.

Whats so bad is its taking them so long just do make it look like that.

That's what I said 8 months ago. What's also so bad is it's not like it will offer anything new. CSS was the same way but at least it didn't take them a year to do it.

Perhaps they think if they take a year to convert their product they can justify selling it. Of course, if they would have just released it when people cared they might earn...no, not earn, make, more money. GG capitalism.

seriously, they look cartooney as hell.

Its always a bad idea to hold the magazine when firing, especially using it to pull the weapon tighter into your shoulder, it james the mag up quiet easily.

Also the skins dont looks texturized because im sure they arent done yet you b00ns. oOo:

Um, excuse me, I think he knows what he's doing.

Edit: I'm talking about the Yeti ofcoarse.

The yeti hax

WWII again sleeping:

IM tired of everyone holding their collective loads to be blown with cod2 comes out. Im still convinced it will be a prettier looking expansion pack.

Probably, I hated the gameplay in CoD, and to think the amount of time I spent talking about it on message boards. rolleyes:

I really like COD, but ive played it for almost 2 years and shit now and its wearing thin, but everybody I play with is like OMFG I cant wait, im just playing bf2 untill it comes out then dropping bf2 etc...

Hardly what id call an expansion pack, totally new engine for one thing, direct 3d instaed of opengl. I only wish they'd put in a german side to the story instead of just the "good guys" every time.

Well the new engine still looks the same as the old and still had the same old death animations

oOo:

compare the new engines graphics to the old one and the old one gets smoked,

COmpare those to this

Still think it looks the same? As for animations doesn't really make much difference, the videos that were shown were from an early version, for all we know the final version will have ragdoll etc instead of canned death animations.

but how many people will be able to run the game at those settings?

OMFGBULLSHITPRERENDEREDIMAGES....sl;js;dh;jkdfkjh

Lol
Ill still get the game, but Im just getting tired of WWII shit, 10 bucks says the KAR still owns any rifle out there.

Doesn't really make a difference, the game has the capability to run at those settings. If you can run hl2 and have it look good its probably enough to have that looking nearly the same.
