Day of Defeat: Source Date

Valve announces that Day of Defeat: Source will be released on September 26:

Day of Defeat: Source (DoD: Source), the latest version of the WWII online action game from ValveŽ, will be made available to gamers everywhere on September 26.

"Day of Defeat has quietly been one of the most played online action games for the past three years," said Gabe Newell, president and founder of Valve. "Day of Defeat: Source represents a major leap forward in both graphics and gameplay, and pushes the Source engine harder than any other Source project. "

DoD: Source takes the classic teamplay of DoD and expands the experience with Source, the engine technology Valve created for Half-LifeŽ 2 and it's next generation of games. With this technology, DoD: Source offers state of the art graphics with optimized versions of popular maps and all new player, weapon and world models, plus support for HDR lighting.

DoD: Source leverages the power of the Source engine by introducing advanced sound technology to provide a more immersive soundscape and integrated physics simulation technology for ragdolls and physically simulated objects throughout each map.

Available via Steam for just $19.95 and in the Counter-Strike: Source retail package, DoD: Source is a rebuild from the ground up of Day of Defeat on the Source engine.

DoD: Source will be available for pre-load and pre-order next week. Those who purchased the Half-Life 2 Silver or Gold Steam offers will receive a request to pre-load the game at this time and will receive access to play the moment the game is made available.

Hey stuuupid asss! I said they would charge monthly fees. You said they would not.

Dumb stupid dipshit that can't remember what he typed wrote:
You think anybody out there is going to pay a monthly fee for a game they can complete in 48 hours? Do you think there's actually a large market out there for people who like Steam so much, they'll pay monthly for it? What the fuck? Have you thought this argument through?

Dumb stupid dipshit found his own counter argument source from Gabe himself:


For some customers it may make sense for them to go with a subscription rather than a one time fee. If you haven't ever bought a Valve game before, you might want to pay a $9.95/month fee rather than paying for Half-Life, Opposing Force, Blue Shift, Counter-Strike, Gunman, etc...

So, yes, there will be subscription choices that a gamer could go with, and no, that won't eliminate the option of buying games the way people are used to.



So now you say, "oh, it's OPTIONAL". Optional doesn't bail your ass out in the least. You said no monthly fees. Gabe said there will be montly fees. I said it would be like Fileplanet and sherlock shithead, Fileplanet's monthly fees are optional as well. Well goooooooollllly. Oh yeah, they don't need to money to pay for bandwidth costs. Why the hell didn't Gabe mention that?!?! Wow! They just want monthly fees for the hell of it, you stupid ignorant jackass! Maybe Gabe needs another Porshe. We'll call it the "Porshe for Gabe" monthly fee. So just admit it you damn donkey hemroid ! Admit what you said about monthly fees in the beginning and I'll forgive you for what you said, you monkey butt nugget!
