DoD Retail Details [Apr 04, 2003, 08:08 am ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
There's a Day of
Defeat preview on GameSpy.com based on getting to attend a press event last
night, where they learned more about the retail plans for this game that started
life as a Half-Life modification: "Activision will not only be publishing Day
of Defeat as a standalone game, but this will mark the beginning of a
partnership with Valve Software spanning several games." They also offer
news that the game is imminent, expected on store shelves on May 6. They quote some of the developers and the folks from Valve, and provide the gameplan
for updating the free version of the mod:
Current online players need not worry about missing out on the fun. According to Lombardi, Valve is planning to release patches to make sure the online and retail versions of DoD are fully compatible, including the updated maps, weapons and code base. (The new maps are also being planned for an online release, but not immediately. )
It *is* old... that's for you j4ck50n 
But if ever a Halflife mod deserves a retail release it's DoD. The engine is an antique, but it's amazing what they did with it for DoD. Good stuff, far better as a game IMHO than CS ever was. It would be nice if these guys got a shot at using a newer engine, all that passion for the game and a newer engine...
