The glory Days of Defeat...what comes to mind? The 101st domination era? Perhaps when NUDE, NT, 101st and 63rd were all top invite teams chasing the title. Who could forget the various Check-Six vs. coL championship matches? Whether you were idolizing Hannibal back in the betas or just recently being wowed by Kellens clutchness, you have to admit one thing. The game was damn fun! Now why cant it still be fun? Now what has changed in the community from then to now?
The first thing that comes to my mind is the competition. There are no longer those 4 or 5 teams that strive to be the best. Instead we must settle to scrim against pugs and foreign teams. I had a chance to play calibans team the other night and I must say it was a blast playing an actual organized team. From my months of playing source (last year it was cod2 LoL) Ive realized how much more fun I was having even pubbing 1.3! Whats personally stopping me from making the switch back? Theres nobody to play against! Give me 2 or 3 teams that are striving to be the best and Ill be all over DoD again!
Now lets check out a few organizations that had DoD divisions in late 2006. We have coL, x6, JMC, Pandemic, MnM! If these top of the line gaming organizations can see potential in DoD then why cant our community any longer? Our community really needs to stop jumping on bandwagons. DoD is Dead!. I admit Im guilty of going along with that one too. If youre like me though, then you just love playing 1.3. That has not changed in the six years Ive been playing the game.
Hmmm ..Now what else has changed? Oh yeah, stop pretending that youre playing for the money! We, Pandemic, placed 3rd at the largest DoD LAN ever and were only awarded $800 each. I mean come on, most people make that much money working in a week. Its just an EXCUSE to try hard.
Perhaps the Glory Days are long gone. Perhaps there are still some historic moments left in the DoD timeline. All I know is that I want to be a DoD tryhard for a little bit longer. I know you wanna play the game, so play!
hey idiots...
