The beta’s no more a beta! It’s all grown up and Achieving great things (although…having some trouble updating the FNF server….on the phone with Bat21 as I type this)!

Nice to see they changed the “TF2 Achievement Trophy” to a more DoD-appropriate chevron. Apparently someone up there at Valve listened closely to piu piu’s suggestions.

From the Steam news update:

Leveraging the recently released set of free services available in Steamworks, the Palermo Update adds 51 achievements to Day of Defeat: Source, player avatar displays in the scoreboard and win panel, and detailed player statistics that are integrated with the Steam Community features (www.steamcommunity.com).

In addition, this update adds support for popular features introduced in Valve’s Team Fortress 2 (TF2), the PC title named multiplayer game of the year by Gamespy.com and PC Gamer. These include “nemesis/revenge” freeze cam and new effects driven by the particle system introduced to the Source engine for TF2.

Finally, this update also introduces a new map, Palermo, which is a remix of the most popular community map, dod_salerno, originally created by Magnar “insta” Jennsen.

For more information, visit the Day of Defeat: Source Palermo site.

I’m excited. If we can get this dang server up…..Looks like a Day of Defeat weekend, folks! You TF2 fanatics take advantage of the free weekend and join us.
