****s and giggles.
Dunno, in TF2 they now allow you to unlock new weapons, doubt that will happen to DoD:S though.
I played the beta the other day and while it's definetly an improvement over have horrible pings (~100-120) on any server which totally ruin any fun in this game

Maybe you can't find a local server? There wasn't many beta servers up the last time I played, maybe only 3 or 4 with a ping under 50. If you live in a remote area I doubt you'll find servers pinging under 100.
Well I'm kind of in the middle of Europe, but most populated servers seem to be in the US. Still seems odd, I get better pings in HL2 deathmatch.
m2. i live in germany and there are (at any time i have been playing) at least five populated servers with a ping less than 100 to choose from
A new update:
The friendlyfire tag fix is partially done - won't go into effect until we update the engine, which will be sometime before the beta goes live.
dod
- achievements are now all stored locally as well for offline achievement dialog
- fixed view model lag being jittery
- fixed some viewmodels occasionally skipping their fire animations
- fixed quickswitch exploit
- fixed some overlays being too transparent
- fixed a case where an enemy player could be credited for an area capture
- playtime statistic now records time spent as class, not time alive as a particular class
- upload stats when we join spectator, change class and on changelevel
- fixed crash with ai_test_los console command
- adjusted global bloom scale
- new nemesis icon

Thank god! Those are the 2 things that bugged me most about the Beta, I might actually play more now that those are fixed.
after 4.3 hours of playing the new beta, i finally know what really pisses me off about dod in general. i know i am at noob state again because i havent played the game in years and 4 hours really isnt that long, but some things still havent changed. the hitbox system seems to suck like always. my ping is usually pretty low, not higher than 50, but still some sniper kills me in what feels like seconds to me after i passed the corner. also, when facing an enemy, i manage to get off 4 shots with an SMG, crosshair on his chest, not more than 3 m away, but still that guy kills me with 100 hp left. there is no chance that all bullets missed him!
also thanks to the kill cam i can see that people who killed me sometimes have a big bloodstain on their face after i fired one shot from a garand at them. still they have 100 hp. client side hit registry? doesnt RO have this serverside? seems to **** me all day.
oh and karwhores. i never felt the urge to master the kar, because it seems so boring to me, but i you get raped by these guys all day and theres no chance to beat them except for becoming like them, where is the fun?
/end of rant

Karwhores? It's skill. I always use the Kar/Garand too, because SMGs are too easy for me and I don't like the STG44/Bar so much. 'Karwhoring' has been much worse in 1.3 and previous versions btw.
Probably just not your game.

woha, this runs really *bad* on my computer... How , with minimum details, which makes it way more uglier than RO, can it run wose with maps 20 times as small ? And I'm not even talking about smokes, that makes me go slideshow ...
Plus, I didn't remember (didn't play DoD since beta 3.X times) how fast paced and arcadey that game was :x

As you can run RO I assume your CPU and Ram are good enough so it must be the graphics card that is your bottleneck in DoD. It's much more gfx card intensive than RO is.
Try lowering your DX mode from 9 to 7. There should be an option in the graphics settings. If it's greyed out you can also change it with a console command, but I can't recall it right now. I can look it up if you want me to.
