Hi everyone, This is my first post here. I used to be a hardcore Day of defeat fan since the original beta, and have been stuck on that game on and off (along with WWIIonline) for like the last 5 years.
the Original (non-source) dod had a certain charm,great maps, and feel. it seems like the original vison was tainted by the valve involvment and counterstrike player infestation..
This turned the game into a "reaction and ping contest", the weapons were ruined, and the game kinda fell into hard times i think..
This along with an aging computer got me out of gaming, UNTIL.........
Darkest hour.. This is the game i have been waiting for since i first saw saving private Ryan!
the game that i have always wished was made, No futuristic version or wwii, no reaction contest..
pure realism and the most inportant CORRECT HISTORY!
This game has inspired me to build a new monster machine, here are the specs.
Antec 900 Case.
xeon E3110 CPU, (same as E8400, but supposedly higher binned) These chips are ushally good for a 24/7 stable 4.0+ ghz.
DFI DK X38 motherboard.
G.skill 2x2gb PC-1000 ram.
Palit 8800GT 1gb ram overclocked video. (i would think about SLI in the future, but the nvidia chipset boards dont really OC well, and im only going to be running a 22" widescreen monitor.)
Samsung spinpoint F1 drives.
I want this game to run with ALL settings to the max with the highest FPS possible, ya think this will be up to the task?
I cant wait to play this game, and i cant wait to meet everyone as i am planning on being a higgins boat captain!
