Meanwhile, go on out to the kitchen and get yourself one of those frozen things, and by the time you get back, I'll have more to say.Īre you back? Sitting comfortably? Then we'll begin … I'll be back shortly with my impressions. In fact, Valve has reported an amazing number of pre-orders, and I just hope their servers can keep up when we all start storming the beaches in an hour and 12 minutes. When Half-Life 2 was released, the technological bets were raised, and a new engine, named "Source" became the head honcho in the FPS world.Īfter playing Counter-Strike for years and then goggling at the improvements made to the Source engine facelift, I knew that DoD: Source was going be a hit on everyone's hard drive. One of the most popular mods for the amazingly versatile Half-Life engine, the original Day of Defeat was a strategically deep, WWII-themed, team-intensive shooter that placed you in, around, and under the streets of Europe during "The Big One." In my humble opinion, it rivals (and in some cases, betters) the EA juggernaut Medal of Honor series for its realism and attention to detail.
In fact, sometimes I will put a potato in the oven even if I don't want one, because, by the time it's ready, who knows? (Thanks to the late, great Mitch Hedberg) I pre-ordered this the day it was announced, and have been waiting (im)patiently since then … come on!!! Do you have any idea what I am going on about? Well, since I have an hour and 22 minutes (yes I checked) left, I suppose I can fill you in a bit. DoD: Source is going to be unlocked in a paltry one hour and 26 minutes, and yet it's like waiting for a potato to bake.
