Here you go...as promised years and years ago (actually...it was like Feb)...the infamous and dreaded prodigal son returns:

thx to skdr and Whoppy42 (lol...I already exceeding my bandwidth in testing).

Cruddy Picture 3 (http://mysite.verizon.net/warewind/images/test7.jpg)

Word of amazing caution: Those of you who have not played para-style before it's a lot like CS (one life per round) except you die in DoD far easier so gameplay is cautious and 90% slower than usual...it's a very acquired taste and it's obvious that the majority of DoD players do not like this style of gameplay. But...I do and this fulfills a promise I made a while ago.

Remember:

1) Each round is only 3 minutes
2) Rambo-style players die incredibly fast.
3) Use sound to your advantage.
4) Because I've split the objectives into two area's it's possible to win this map as allies if you use teamwork...if you don't the axis will almost certainly win.

BTW...all new victory music...from the movie Patton (music by Goldsmith), a radio for campers in the antenna room to listen too and the cow objects somewhat to being shot.

Hi all, just downloaded from both mirrors and found neither have the .bmp for the overview, they only have the text. Just thought i'd let you know. Nice job with the map btw.

Same here, no overview & it freezes my DoD. Not sure if that's because of the missing overview.

FuzzDad

Interesting...It uses the dod_glider overview in the cache. The para_glider.txt file points to the dod_glider overview. If you do not see the overview then perhaps you have some cache issues or maybe you're one of those who copied the dod retail files over to your steam folders...I've seen some strange things with steam DoD when it's combined w/the retail stuff.

And...nobody in testing said anything. Hrmmm...stuff like this drives me nuts.

Nothing is new... this kind of gameplay was standard back during 3.0 and 3.1, along with the unlimited lives gameplay.

his promise to be slow :p





...to the kid who dissed glider...

Dod has its roots in CS, in a wierd and indirect way.

Is negative critism not allowed here? weird :rolleyes: He says it's a dumb idea wich is +/- true, no one here will ever say para gameplay is better then normal one. I think he has a freedom of speach to say that he doesn't like it, he didn't say he won't download it either, and...

more campers, frustration, slower gameplay, long waits...

...it's true. No need to flame him.
