I dont know how many of you are familiar with Day Of Defeat, but if not Day Of Defeat is a modification for one of the Best games ever created Halflife,DoD which is based in WWII. anyway they are a group of mappers and texture artists who formed a group called Invasionworks who have created some great maps and pushed the HL engine to its limits and beyond in terms of maps.

About a month and a 1/2 ago they released some information everybody in the dod community thought it was going to be Beta 4.0 related (new dod patch) but it turned out that they where creating a new game "GreenLight (Airborne Operations 1939-1944)". They liscenced the torque engine (formally v12) which powered Tribes 2 and are now creating a new game which will be free, it looks very promising and its going to be realistic whihc is a big plus for people around here .

so anyway here are some screenshots and links to there forum and page.

REMEMBER ITS IN ALPHA STAGES so dont bash it too much or say OFP owns it im just telling you about it.

For free? That's bloody good, i don't care about graphics when you have some decent gameplay.

I really liked DoD but the HL engine hated me so i didn't play it much, it also had tons of people who dribbled L33+.

From FAQ:

Q: How big are the maps in GL?

A: The maps are about 4kmË›.

DoD had some really good maps, from what I remember. As long as city maps don't have a single choke point where the majority of the fighting takes place, I'm happy.

Remeber these are the ppl who made a some dod maps so its going to bew totally different from how dod will be set out, you will haev panzer tanks being driven and such and pak guns being manned, the servers can support up to 128 ppl.

The minimum system requirements seem pretty steep for the kind of graphics they're showing on the screenshots.

I think it's impossible to say anything about the game yet - they aren't telling much about the gameplay. It might turn out realistic like OFP or "realistic" like BF1942... Oh, and what the hell, no Soviet Airborne Forces???

Looks good, and you can't go wrong with free. I'll most definitely check it out when it's released

i guess you aint read any of it, also DoD aint just US vs Germany, british are being added in the next release.

I find it hard to believe that InW can make anything resembling "realistic," no offense

I'm not excited that another DoD clone is coming out.

Western front was not the only front in world war II. There were pacific front, north african front, and russian front.

Multiplayer only isn't a good thing. I hate multiplayer with a passion. It's only fun sometimes, rarely. Other times it's a complete pain.

"I wanna be MG... I wanna be MG... lemme MG"

"You suck lemme be sniper"

"OMG WHO JUST TKED ME!!!1"

Just let me have my single player.

Yes. But free is a very good thing. And maybe you just aren't a 'people' person  

edit: and look at that K98k- Nice work.

Free isn't necessarilly a good thing. What about free gum? Free ride to jail? Free breast inspection?

And I know I'm not a 'people' person, thats why I don't like multiplayer.

Then why do you post here so much?

On topic:

This sorta looks cool, but in the end it's YAHLM. And the Half Life engine is like 5-6 years old and seriously long in the tooth. These guys need to look at making it a Q3 or UT3K3 mod

My personal favorite is seeing Americans fight to take Caen.

In 1.3b, the Americans were trying to defend Oslo from the german blitzkreig, and a beta version of dod_koln was the americans defending their motherland in stalingrad against the german lightning war.

ITS NOT ON THE HL ENGINE, FFS READ BEFORE YOU POST

and koln is not based in the eastern front,

its actually on the tribes 2 engine.

I stand corrected. It just looked like the HL engine

[ralphwiggum 6]

if it's on Tribes 2 Engine, i might give a more positive look. but as of right now i need to play demo to make my judgement.

yes- it's just that the maps will be less than a third the size of OFP's. Not to mention you won't see anything like Gunslingers or Kegety's editor addons to easily modify existing maps.
