    Except 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.

    More enjoyable and intense than Counter strike source, better game play than battlefield 2, an improvement over the original in every way!

    very good game, it is a shame there are so few maps but that is being rectified. The accuracy of the guns is quite lame. In general making comparisons, it is far better than most of the steam games. The general game play i found to be very accurate, not like most games where you shoot someone with three magasines and they are alive. Im a fan, and those who give this game a low rating are very good game, it is a shame there are so few maps but that is being rectified. The accuracy of the guns is quite lame.

    This game is nothing short of pukker... Its current 80 rating is unjustified. I played it on the free weekend and literally played it all weekend. It is hard to start with as sniping is a major part to the game however whereas in CSS its frustrating and hard to find cover going prone and crawling for cover is all part of the intense fun.

As you lay behind a wall of sand bags the game really makes you feel as though the bullets fizzing past your head are real particulary if you have your headphones on. Stunning graphics with real absorbing gameplay...... the success is that everyone must play together.You can choose from 5 different classes of soldier on either side each with different abilities that are crucial to the achievement of the team. If you want to leave the ' bang bang your dead ' of CSS and play a tactical ' multiplayer ' game this is it.... Thankyou steam for the free weekend... I am now off to buy it.… Expand

    The 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.

    The 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.

    This 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.

    WW2 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.

    This was an awsome game and 20 bucks is a deal. I think by the fun i have with it its worth 50- 60 bucks. Its the best 20.00$ you'll ever spend.

    I 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.

    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.
