PeterM.Sep 10, 2007A great game set in WW2 setting which has the modern effects and graphics. Very enjoyable and very tactical
-
-
RedFistMar 26, 2006this game is too cool, original maps are really nice and custom even more ! war is bad but this game is GOOD.
-
-
WesS.Apr 29, 2006A fully realized replacement for DoD 1.3, beautiful maps, fully rendered sounds and sights, two additional maps released since the game was put out and two more on the way, loads of servers to play on and continues to be supported by the developers. Needs more maps, some tweeking of the weapons to off-set an Axis advantage, and some hit-box issues that need to be addressed.

JackC.Feb 19, 2007I haven't played a game in many years (since BF 1942) in which I could sit down for hours and have mindless fun with no boredom, just mindless fun.

Aug 15, 2012Much like CS:S this is a faithful recreation of a HL1 mod, redesigned with the care and attention to detail it deserved. Valve didn't keep the British army in, but the core gameplay is the same. It's tense, although not very exciting. You get killed easily, respawn quickly, and never give up attacking.
-
MikeD.Aug 3, 2008Great game... highly underrated, needs more content.
-
-
Dec 13, 2010The best game I ever played. Ultra realistic and very nice looking. I play for 3 years now and I can't get bored. I recommend this game to every WW2 games fan.
10/10 ! awesome game -

MaXBoosSep 30, 2006It's a perfect game.
-
-
RemS.May 1, 2008One of the best games ever :)
-
-
GregW.Nov 3, 2005Extremely buggy, limited maps, limited weapons, but gradually (because of steam) it gets better. Tiny updates now and then help it get better and better gradually. Do I love every moment of it? Oh yes...

WebSkyD.May 17, 2006The greates WWII game then i ever play. Grafics, phisics and many more- I give a 10.
-
-
TravisN.Nov 20, 2006This game is great it includes all the best weaponry of WWII and uses the steam source engine, it can't get much better than this.

PwnererMar 30, 2006This game is truly awsome with the best graphics out there. The sound is also breath taking as u here the bullets come by taking away friends. I absolutely love this game all around.

Dj_Wiz::Apr 4, 2006DoD : S ça c'est du jeu ! Plus réel ke jamais, il nous plonge ds la réalité de la guerre ds des batailles a 32 ou 64 joueurs ! Seul point desavantageux : il manque une ou deux class player. Bref, DoD: S c'est la guerre ;)

PatrickWagnerMay 6, 2006Source is a great Game! The kills are much more realistic compared to others! Source is a must have!!!
-
-
MarcH.May 7, 2006This is the best game i played for a long time. The weapons are great, the gameplay is really fun. This is a game my wife will not like :-)
-
-
BrandonT.May 7, 2006Day of Defeat Source is very realistic, and very chaotic the reason i put a nine is about the m1 carbine ammo and the machinepistol ammo.

AdrianP.May 7, 2006This game is so fun, it makes you want to play it non stop for hours. So much you can do, it never gets boring.
-
-
RobinK.May 8, 2006Incredible realistic, very good graphics and sound. The weapons act like they do in real life!
-
-
NobodyJun 29, 2006this can be better than CS, Big claim but U need to play it to know why.
-
-
CoderedJul 2, 2006Team based play is a must for this game,if your mg, assult or rifle,there is always a enemy to counter attack your actions,so its be quick or be dead.excellent detail in player models and maps. and the shock nade affect is awsome,what a way to flush the enemy out, in to your gun fire.
-
-
mJul 20, 2006This is one of the most fun games i think i have ever played. Smooth graphics and funny rag doll physics make this game good, but great gameplay, good controll and authenticity make it freeking sweet. I am buying ASAP!
-
-
MichaelP.Jul 30, 2006Much more fast paced than Counterstrike source and therefore more enjoyable, constant action if you want it.
-
-
UmutG.Jul 7, 2006only ting missing is bulletproof stuff and face update. tis game is much better dan counter-strike. counter don,t got MG leg zandbags or and other. plus no cover on groud. and not much radio commandts to say grannette take cover and ohter.
-
-
DennisA.Jul 9, 2006Great Game and with the new Detonation Maps theres even more fun,the best game steam has ever made.
-
-
JoshuE.Aug 23, 2006Ok - so I really think it's unfair the DoD:S's rating has been hammered by poor reviews just after it was released. More maps are being released all the time and yet reviews such as "the limitations of only four maps, on which to play one game type" pull the score down. DoD was, is and always will be excelent.
-
-
HentzarS.Jan 4, 2007Its awesome, very realistic and good visial effects, like the smoke from the wall as you hit it.
-
-
PaulC.Mar 8, 2007Amazing gameplay for the most part. A few glitches here and there that may shy away a "serious" competitive gamer. Overall, tactics and teamplay rule all. A great WW2 game.
-
-
MikeB.Jun 1, 2007Great game! best old world game i've ever played, i even think it's better that all of the call of duty's. the music theme for when you first get into the game is the best i've ever heard.
-
-
MichaelR.Feb 1, 2008One of the best roleplaying games that I have ever played.
-
-
SaschaB.Aug 1, 2008Great game, but I'd love to see the British team again, maybe you could add a sovjet team as well and add some new maps, would be great for the game to get 2 new teams to choose.

WyattB.Oct 10, 2006This in my opinion is the greatest pc game ever made.
-
-
CharlesH.Oct 24, 2006I was usually at the bottom of any server score list, but it was ALWAYS a blast! Loved sneaking behind the allied lines and scoping with the fg42. Best mod next to Natural Selection (get that too!)
-
-
NeboM.Oct 4, 2006The best WWII multiplayer game ever!
-
-
SpawnS.Oct 9, 2006The best Steam game ever made!
-
-
MarcusB.Mar 25, 2006Day of defeat Source is underrated. The game didn´t have such massive advertising as other games but needs more eye on it. When you are into the game for a while and know where and what to do, ist better than Counter Strike Source. The only thing is, it could need more official maps.
-
-
DaneB.Apr 3, 2006best WWII fps ever great graphics and awesome gameplay. The weapons are realistic GREAT GAME.
-
-
TheFuryApr 5, 2006Pure WWII goodness! Even though some maps are in the works, like my favorite dod_charley, this game is the BEST WWII game!
-
-
UgoFaríasMay 11, 2006El mejor juego online de la segunda guerra mundial y el mejor MOD multijugador para HL2 (por encima de Conter-strike source)
-
-
RyanP.May 10, 2006Furious gameplay that is addicting and challenging along with one of the best graphics engines out there. It'll have you drooling and hiding from friends during all hours of a day!
-
-
JesseMulkeyMay 10, 2006This game is awesome and never gets old.
-
-
A.B.May 10, 2006Its a pretty sweet game, but it needs more maps. Hooray Source games!!!
-
-
DenisW.May 13, 2006The graphic is very good, but the best is the sound!! u are feeling like in a real battle.
-
-
StefanoP.May 14, 2006best little squads action ww2 game on PC today, a little more realisticism can be obtained without the player's jumping at all but only scaling obstacles.
-
-
AlMay 15, 2006may not have all the player classes from DoD but this is one sweet game....the source game i spend the most time in.
-
-
MichaelN.May 15, 2006better that counter, just 100% action and it´s pretty addictive.
-
-
KevinM.May 15, 2006Very good Game.

WilliamM.May 26, 2006awsome, addictive game.
-
-
BobC.May 29, 2006Outstandingly beautiful, great gameplay, the first game you should buy from Valve if you like the fps action genre.
-
-
AliY.May 6, 2006usually in some games teamwork helps, but in this game it is necessary and in the proccess of taking over a flag, u c ur teammates around u get shot and dye or c their helmet fly off. Very Realistic
-
-
ManuelW.May 6, 2006Except for some little bugs, the fact that each server has different movement setups and the missing map versatility it puts you into stunning battle action with great teamwork capabilities without the boring waiting while others camp around for hours in case you died.
-
-
JimP.May 6, 2006More enjoyable and intense than Counter strike source, better game play than battlefield 2, an improvement over the original in every way!
-
-
RemS.May 6, 2006One of the best games ever :)
-
-
SirSacMay 6, 2006DoD:S is an amazing WWII shooter that i can easily play all day if i don't whatch it. It is simply my favorite game besides CS:S.
-
-
ChrisR.May 9, 2006one of the best 1st person shooters and war time gaems around, realy realistic and doesn't require to download hunks of mp3's. realy easy to have playable mods, that actuly work on another persons server.
-
-
JoeE.Jun 1, 2006Better with more choice of team and more weapons but other than that its an ace game.

ChrisD.Jun 4, 2006For this genre this is top quality! I have been playing since release using the HL-1 Engine.

RIKB.Jul 13, 2006Best online fast action ww2 game EVER.! forget being a hero.. you'll just die a lot, fall in with acouple of buddies and youll carve your way to the target.
-
-
AlvaroD.Jul 17, 2006Best game in the world.
-
-
ZillingerZ.Jul 18, 2006The best WW2 mod available due to size of maps and the array of weapon choice. The HL engine runs the greatest out of all FPS. Battlefield makes a close 2nd to this game.
-
-
MattW.Jul 24, 2006One Of The Best Valve Games so far.
-
-
PålR.Jul 29, 2006The game I ALWAYS return to after plowing through all the other crap. I've followed this through every version from the first public beta on HL1 and I still play it almost every day.
-
-
KrisS.Jul 3, 2006Amazing game. Very realistic, and non-stop action.
-
-
JohnG.Jul 30, 2006This is one of the best games I had played yet. I see that there is almost 2,000 servers up on this game and only a few hundred on HL2DM.
-
-
ClemensB.Jul 4, 2006In my opinion is that game the best of all World War II games.
-
-
JoelB.Jul 4, 2006Excellent team based game for long LAN parties or quick ten minute blasts.
-
-
Sgt.D.Jul 4, 2006Excellent gameplay, sweet graphics. The lack of maps is nothing to worry about with the regular updates from Valve.
-
-
PhilipK.Jul 8, 2006The gameplay is awesome. It's one of the few games out there where the front line moves.
-
-
XavierO.Aug 10, 2006WW2 multiplayer action at its best. Fast paced action, awesome source engine, and realistic weapon behavior make this game a real winner. bullets really hurt in this WW2 game. 2 or 3 shots will kill you. not like other games where you can get hit 20 times, live get health packs, and then keep on fighting as if there is no tomorrow. Kudos do Valve, who have done it once again.
-
-
StevenH.Aug 11, 2006The best game yet from valve.

AlexK.Aug 4, 2006Amazing game! great graphic and lighting. The best online game play i have EVER experienced!
-
-
TobiasS.Aug 4, 2006I LOVE IT! Only thing I miss is that the game should have more Nations (Russia, Japan or GB) and that you should can find some granates in boxes on every map.
-
-
BobD.Aug 8, 2006Really fun best game ever should make a medieval game like this :O
-
-
PeterC.Sep 12, 2006It is the best ww2 game I ever have played. An I did only get it for 160 dkr.
-
-
JamesL.Sep 10, 2006V good. Too much recoil tho...
-
-
WallaceH.Sep 20, 2006Best game I have ever played, very realistic. Very easy to score at 10 rating.
-
-
NicolasR.Sep 28, 2006This game is perfect!
-
-
WimW.Sep 28, 2006TOP game. Guarantees for many months of high quality and fantastic online gameplay
-
-
JacobN.Oct 15, 2007Been playing for years now, although I liked it better before Valve took over, I still play every night, and I always play avalanche. Proof that playing the same map, over and over and over and over again for years is still FUN!
-
-
DanielM.Dec 3, 2007My Favorite GAME!!! Best gaming(in despite of some CS players in the servers) not good resolution, but excellent game... I think Support is the worst... 3 days do download SDK, my ticket for 3 days expired in second map I wa playing (10 minutes) many days to send invites.
-
-
NRJan 20, 2007A timeless classic - despite the fact that there are hardly ever new maps! A shame because the gameplay is FANTASTIC! Worth every cent!
-
-
StefanM.uJan 25, 2007Very great game. Very good Steam package. Very realistic firing, compared with Counter-Strike Source or other Source Powered Games.

Awards & Rankings
-
I expect to be playing DoD a lot more than "Couterstrike: Source"... I recommend DoD:S to the multiplayer action crowd, but don't come crying to me when things start getting stale.
-
While the game still needs some patching, and is unfortunately not DoD as we know it, this is still an absolutely fantastic package; those after a new multiplayer shooter can’t really go wrong with this one. Oh, and expect this score to go up over time as Valve patches out various problems.
-
While a lack of maps cuts into the game's value somewhat, Day of Defeat: Source still offers a satisfying and exciting experience for those who just can't get enough of World War II.
