Long have the fans of Day of Defeat Source waited for another update, long have they patiently waited (Or some not so patiently).
Yesterday over at the Day of Defeat Source forums a bug/exploit subforum was opened in anticipation of the new updated being released as a beta to the community. So just who can participate in this beta? Everyone can!
All you need to do once the beta is released is go to file>settings>account and under the beta participation button click on Day of Defeat source Beta. Once you've done this you will download all the content you need to take part in the beta.
As for a changelog as to what's been changed/added it's here below thanks to Matt Boone for the changelog
- added Dod_Palermo, updated map based on Dod_Salerno by Insta
- added Steamworks features, including achievements and player avatars
- added Nemesis and Revenge
- added Freeze Cam
- friendly players no longer collide with each other
- many particle systems have been improved
- changed the algorithm for bullet spread to be more like the original Day of Defeat
- reduced Garand recoil
- View position is now adjusted when zoomed with rifles and sniper rifles to help with player visibility around corners
Planned changes not in this update:
- Per-player stats linked to Steam Community
- many map exploit fixes
Personnally I hope this update brings a fresh feeling to dod source as it's lost alot of players in the last year or two.
