Day of Defeat: Source Gets Steam Achievements, New Map

If there's one company that knows how to extend the life of a game, it's Valve. Case in point? The new Day of Defeat: Source update that just hit. Yeah, remember that game? The Palermo Update, as it's called, brings a slew of goodies that Team Fortress 2 players have been enjoying for a while now, including 51 new Steam Achievements, more detailed player stats and Steam Community features. Even more bonus? The new "Palermo" map and a new, post-kill freeze cam.

Personally, my favorite thing about the new update is that it reminds me that Day of Defeat: Source exists. It's like getting a free game! Again. More details at the official update page.

Valve Bringing More Achievements to Steam, Soon

Achievement whores, rejoice. Valve will be adding more achievements to Orange Box via Steam. This note comes from the Valve forums, an email response to a fan, from Valve.

We're planning on adding achievements to all of our games you touched on in your mail [Half-Life 2, Half-Life 2: Episode 1, Day of Defeat: Source and Counter-Strike: Source]. We're just now coming out of the post-shipping haze, so these should start showing up on Steam pretty quick here.
We're also planning on adding a bunch more to TF2, starting with an achievement pack for the Medic in the next week or so.

There's actually another confirmation email down the thread that pegs at least some of these updates as launching within the year. Sounds good to us.

Achtung! Free DoD: Source Weekend Incoming!

If you've yet to pick up Day of Defeat: Source, Valve's throwing a slightly belated Independence Day bone your way with the upcoming free DoD: Source weekend.

Three days straight is about all I ever seem to play these team-based World War 2 games for, so this free weekend will completely obviate any need for me to ever buy the title. Thanks, Valve! For those of you with less fickle tastes, you'll have three days between July 7th and July 10th to once again appraise whether or not this mod-gone-retail is worth 20 clams to you. Florian Eckhardt
