Today a new mod has just been released.
[quote]Dino D-Day is an exciting new First Person Shooter from Digital Ranch Interactive. You’ll play as Sgt. Jack Hardgrave, a renowned paleontologist who thought he put his career on hold to go to war…then Hitler resurrected dinosaurs and unleashed them on the Allies in 1942. When the Fuhrer’s monster army saw battle for the first time in North Africa Hardgrave was on the front lines – nearly getting eaten alive by beasts he spent his life studying. This is an HL2:OB mod that has served as a prototype for a commercial release of Dino D-Day slated for 2010. We look forward to community input on this early version of Dino D-Day as we continue crafting the game over the next several months.[/quote]

I must say this looks quite amazing and I am downloading it right now. It looks like amazing fun.
Nice idea, I think I'll download it right now!
First i thought Dino would be WW2 slang.
Then I saw the Raptor and GOD YES
This is totally fucking awesome.
I just jizzed all over.
Fuck, I have to run it in dx 9. My computer runs like shit. It made me sad when I heard so many HL2 sounds, like the dinosaurs use the antlion king guy sounds.
Ah Hitler, you so silly.

Also the first map was great, mostly showing off you're new weapons.
AWESOME.
This will give us time till Dino instinct and Jurassic life come out
It was sad to see that half of the sounds were recycled for this release of a demo, (im calling this a demo).
But besides that it was fun! Very fun! but a cutscene where the main character blows up the bridge would have been nice. And Hitler's message's to you are a sign that Adolf is there probably for comic relif.
It's never been more funner to let a T-Rex charge at a bridge for it to be cushed by a train car ment for a triceratops. (I forgot how to spell Dinosours name's, sue me!)
Looking foward to a full release with 0% of recycled sounds.
It is a demo.

Never saw a Tyrannosaur.
I just played the 2 levels, it was pretty good but the use of DOD sounds was a tad disappointing to me. I think Im going to add a few of these models to Gmod and HL2 just for the awesomeness.
I had absolutely no idea where I was supposed to go at some points.

The most obvious flaw I've seen.
All in all, it was some rather mediocre, if at all, mapping.
The dinosaur models were nice, I have to give it that.
Wow, this is greatly done but it's still obvious this is in beta or whatever stage.
Also, I figured out how to spawn dinosaurs: in console do npc_create npc_trex, npc_raptor, or npc_antlionguard (triceratops)

Tyrannosaurus Reich approves of this game.
Oh dear lord that was short, 2 maps.
And it had really REALLY bad mapping errors
It sounds like a 5 year old kid some up with. I can't wait for the sequel which has WWII dinosaurs in space with lasers.
The mapping is meh, has sounds from DOD, the dinosaurs seem have to have same AI as the headcrabs (one uses the poison headcrab sound), and the Garand and the fists are the only weapons coded as new entities, the MP40, the Stielhandgrenate etc are all reskins.
The way he says he wants to turn this into a commercial product is quite frankly laughable and a bit big headed since there's a lot of mods of higher calibre that would never turn into a commercial product.
Goddamnit what second map.
Dinosaurs and ww2. This has my download
Is this a joke?

Okay...looks good so far, this might be good.

wat
God damn you guys it's a prototype, the mod came out of NOWHERE with a release.
It's good for what it is, this isn't the final product.
Holy shit it has dinosaurs.

Digital [B]Ranch[/B] Interactive
Huh. :guitar:
Well, the T-Rex NPC was pretty cool, you've got to give him that.
Goddamnit where was the second map
fucking hell. any mirror I try to download the mod from isn't loading...
why isn't there a torrent for this yet?
Terrible map design but the Triceratops fight was brilliant. After I punched it to death in Guts Mode (after blowing up a couple of explosive barrels near it), I used the beast's massive hide for cover and sniped those dirty Nazis by the wrecked traincars above me with my rifle.
Adolf Hitler's defiant and mocking explanation of the controls was the best tutorial I've ever experienced.
As long as they can find a better mapper, this mod actually has potential.
