Wann kommt denn jetzt DoD: Source? Eindeutig die im Augenblick meist gestellte Frage in der Communty. Einer der Chef-Entwickler ist Waldo, der den ehemaligen Mod seit frühesten Beta-Zeiten begleitet. Im
Steam-Forum hat er sich nochmal zur Source-Portierung geäußert, allerdings ohne wirklich konkrete Infos rauszurücken:
Zitat: Most of us put in time on HL2, CS:Source and Half-Life:Source before shifting back to DoD:Source, so that did slow things down a bit. But we're working full speed ahead on it now (and have been for a while).
Patience DoD fans. Patience. It's gonna be nice IMO. Quite nice. And no, it's not just a straight port.

Eine Seite weiter hat der offizielle Dod-Mapper Fuzzdad nochmal unterstrichen, das man nicht einfach per strg+c Dod 1.3 in einen DoD:S Ordner kopiert hat:
Zitat: The maps have been completely rebuilt from scratch...all the textures have been redone to take advantage of the engine...all the models, the weapons, sounds...you name it...it's all new and shiny. Sure...some of the maps will look familiar because they are reproductions of the originals but think about this...take out any CS 1.6 map and compare it to the CS:Source counterpart...that's much more than just a "port" my friend. Here's one way to look at it...I've been "porting" my falaise map over to Source using the CS engine (I do not have the dod sdk yet nor do I have dod textures/models/etc) and I've been working on it, 2 hours a night, for two months now...and it's about 70% done. That's not a port...that's hell.
As to screens, the dev team has already stated they will not release many screens (if any)...screens do not give the game justice and only lead to arguments about this or that. I'm sure, as beta testing commences they will release a screen here or there but I'd rather they spend the time working on making the release as polished as possible than giving out screens.

Maps, Texturen, Modells, Waffen & Sounds - alles wird von Grund auf neu erstellt um alle Vorteile der neuen Engine voll auszunutzen. Und vor dem Release soll es wenig Screenshots geben! :|
