    Easily a 10/10. I went in thinking that it would be horrible like Half-Life: Source. I played the original game first and I loved it. When I tried this version, I knew it was better than the original. The bad things in the original were the UI and jumping taking up most of your stamina. This fixed those and had better graphics. Best WWII multiplayer game.

    It's great semi-realistic online multi-player. The graphics are good considering it's age. The game-play is great and the maps are awesome. The game does lack activity, but there are enough servers to keep it going. The game is pretty hard to get into because the players who are left are more or less pros, so you can expect a rough start if you are not used to fps games

    Almost a perfect multiplayer game. It depends a lot, whether you find a good server with a lot of great people, but once you do, you do not want to play anything else. The smoothness of the gameplay, the lack of stupid unlocks and P2W purchasables is really rare these days. The fact that Source engine still looks great after 10+ years is giving the game nice graphical output. MultiplayerAlmost a perfect multiplayer game.

    Many server mods are terrible, just like any games on the source engine. A bunch of screaming 12-years old bossing around. But that doesn't take much away from game-play. After seven years, it's still an amazing game, featuring many game modes and variety, balanced classes, fantastic graphics. Anyone can mod the game, which is another terrific feature.

    I like the fast gameplay and the unique weapon rebound in this game! Compared to other ww2 games (like cod) dods requires a bit more skill to aim right.

    Hope that Valve bring out a new DOD when they release HL3.

    This game is ultra-realistic, the soldier's chats are incredible and the weapons are really good, with the real characteristics. I'ts nice, I strongly recommend this game to the WWII fans. But theres one thing I hate... the teamwork. If you're lucky and find good players, you'll enjoy a lot, but if you find rushers... mmm. Rated 10/10 for a real-nice game!

    Much 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.

    Right next to counter strike for source mod goodness. Though feeling somewhat dated, the game still has its moments. The community is still very active as well. Custom map support, blahblah, everything you get for being a source game released by valve!

It has what do you espect in a game like this: realistic gameplay, great environments, great gameplay, doesnt take to much time to load, doesnt wait until the round finishes like CSS, good graphics for its time and the community is great and friendly.

But then I hit upon DoD:S and have several hundreds hours of play time on it now. It feels like CS:S to some extent, but the player base is generally more mature, it's almost perfectly balanced, and encourages strategy and thought a lot more. I was awful at DoD:S for quite a while, but at least I wanted to keep playing during that time, where CS:S continuously managed to make me angry. It's a pity that DoD:S never got the wide market appeal that it deserves, even though the game is excellent without it too of course. I give it a 9 because perfection doesn't exist.… Expand

A lot less variety and chose, I wish Valve could of atleast added all the original content from the old Day of Defeat, (all the guns, maps, and classes) and I even expected new content since most new games offer more then the original. It kinda even feels like a downgrade, less maps, less guns, and the Classes have been screwed up. The game feels as if Valve just enhanced the graphics and Source added to DoD and make money off of it cheaply. But other then decreased amount of guns, content, and maps, this game is fun. The items and stuff laying on the map can sometimes be troublesome, and not cool with physics, because sometimes they do get in your way. Rating Total 8.3 Visuals: 9.2 out of 10.

This game is more dynamic than CS. It has classes, quality voice commands, amazing sound effects, prone and other stuff. Unlike CS, this game actually involves team work to progress and the weapons recoil is much more realistic which you have to learn to control. If anything CS is less dynamic out of the two. Don't get me wrong, CS:Source is equally an awesome game (both are addictive and good value for money) but CS is definitely the 'simpler' one out of the two as both T & CT are practically identical with the exception of a few weapons and both use the same voice commands. That's not much variety. Either way if you don't like this game then maybe you just don't like the WW2 theme. You shouldn't really compare the two because they're different games so overall while I said all that stuff above, they're both great games and since this review is for DoD I'll say that it's one the best games to buy.

    Best FPS game out there, easy to learn and very enjoyable to play. Lots of servers to play in. No monthly fees, very cheap. May not be accurate as other newer FPS simulation wise but hey it is a GAME!

    THE WW2 war game online! It's a real, fantastic simulation of WW2. Graphics is very good, as well the phisyx effect. Need just 10$ to buy it, but it's worth more!!! Buy it if you like war game FPS

    A great game to same the least! Day of Defeat: Source is extremely fast-paced, the gametypes require players to depend on each-other and work as a team, the visuals are gorgeous, and the maps are realistic and well-designed. The only real downside to this game is the number of stock maps available, but for the price the customer pays, it is well worth it!

    Stunning.. simply stunning. But you need a high end graphics card to really enjoy the stunning. So if there was any bad ratings, go get a graphics card! :P

    Despite lacking depth, its probably one of the most atmospheric WWII shooters out. Unlike its slow-paced sister Counter-Strike, DoD offers fast-paced, hardcore combat. Bullets whiz, men fall and grenades explode around you. Truly atmospheric. The guns may be have a high recoil, but this is more of a tactical balance than a problem. You can't just gun 'n' run.

    I love this game, most negative feedback comes from players who are not accustomed to the playstyle and because of that get owned by more experienced players.

    I think this is one of the best team based games out there. It forces the group to actually work as a team. And the lone wolf is really only a distraction. I focuses on Flag captures and not kills. So you are really forced to get objectives if you really want to win.

    Been 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!

    A worthy successor to Day of Defeat, the reduced, simple, fun classes, hectic action, and arguably the best Source engine visuals to date, this game deserves some play time by all first person shooter fans.

    Day of defeat is a unique WWII game. It is a great combination of realistic sound and outstanding graphics. The source engine gives it a grimy, fluid atmosphere unlike any other WWII game. The game is very customizable with custom skins, sounds, and maps. They can be downloaded or created by the player. The game would have been a ten if some of the old features were included.

    The sound of machine gun fire over the sandbags you crouch under is amazing. If you play the game enough you will even notice that every single object in the maps are placed perfectly, and it balances the map. While the German weapons are faster and have more capacity, the US ones are focused more on accuracy, and this also adds to the intensity.

    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.
