A quote from FuzzDad in the DoD:S section of the steampowered boards (in response to charges of DoD:S turning into or being unduly influenced by TF2):
They are not going for the “TF2 look”. Never have, never will. The stuff they brought over from TF2 was done so just to get it to run in the [...]

First, let’s Meet the Sniper (tomorrow at 11am. YESS)

Fudgeums posing over my corpse on DoD:S Beta’s Palermo. Palermo is an update of a classic DoD map called Railroad. In Source, a mapper named Insta reworked it, replaced the train bit with a seaside, and called it Salerno. So - Railroad, Salerno, and now Palermo. It’s a solid map (not [...]

Day of Defeat: Source Beta

New team identifier icons as rewards for completing achievements - 1 per class achievement, and 1 for completing all achievements

First saw this on Halflife2.net, it’s from a news item on computerandvideogames.com:
The Pyro class is next in line to receive an Achievement and unlockables upgrade in Team Fortress 2, Valve has confirmed….Speaking to PC Gamer, Valve also revealed that the ‘Meet the Sniper’ video is next in line on its comedy trailer release list.[Source]

FNF regular (we call them “FNF’ers”) Bad Neighbor achieved the 1 Million Total Heal Points achievement, and I promised to document the happy occasion.

Bad Neighbor.

Woot! Good job, Neighbor! (and Milestone, ta boot, which means he has half of the Medic Achieves)

OK, so I’m enjoying the new DoD Achievements (until they’re reset). I got this one tonight:

Take note, if anyone’s overly excited about the new Achievements in the DoD:S BETA:
