    It's an awesome game if you're into realism and teamwork. The 4 included maps are amazing, and don't lose their value. Some have complained about too much recoil, and don't realize that it's not very realistic to spray on full auto and hope to hit people. When used properly and strategically, all the weapons are deadly and effective. It's just a great game, It's an awesome game if you're into realism and teamwork.

    For fans of the old DOD, it doesnt get much better than this. For fans of WW2 era tactical combat games it doesnt get much better than this. For people who enjoy the intensity of an online firefight it doesnt get much better than this. Rockets fly, wobbling slightly in their flightpath before they impact to devastating effect. A snipers bullet whizzes past your head and strikes your buddy For fans of the old DOD, it doesnt get much better than this. For fans of WW2 era tactical combat games it doesnt get much better than this. For people who enjoy the intensity of an online firefight it doesnt get much better than this. Rockets fly, wobbling slightly in their flightpath before they impact to devastating effect. A snipers bullet whizzes past your head and strikes your buddy on your left. He goes down in a crumpled heap as you dive for cover. Mgs firing out of a thick cloud of smoke, tracers flying just over your head as you cower in a shellhole. The last stand at the Alamo, you and three allies spraying bullets at a crowd of rushing enemies, praying that reinforcments reach you in time. Picking off people in the street with your rifle before a rifle grenade lands at your feet and blows you to high heaven. Cooking off a grenade so it explodes a split second before landing in a crowd of enemies. the courage, the heroism, the carnage and the intensity of small unit action has never been as good as day of defeat source. no game since the first dod compares to it. hope i see yall on the field.… Expand

    I'll never go playing a other game. Not expensive and you can go online 24/7 and play and play. If you are tired of playing the in same towns just look for custom maps.

    The best source engine game available. Much better gameplay, more fair and balanced than any source engine game. Thus far the best the engine has to offer.

    For some reason this game never gets boring. I think the player community (not much hacking at all) keeps this game as fun as it is. I own many FPS's, but this is my favorite.

    How does this get a worse rating than Red Orchestra? This game is by far the best WWII game on the market! I will never play any other WWII game, multiplayer or singleplayer! Nothing can compare to the excellent graphics, sounds, weapons, and realism in general.

    Great game, though I'm laming FPS The only negative point is that you really need to play on a server with the MG's & snipers limited, because when team is losing they all go start laming with snipers or mg's

    Great game. Just barely lives up to the original, but still a great play. Nice to see them release regular updates for the game, adding new maps and game content for free unlike some other games. Great team based play, a good team strategy greatly helps, and the game is usually most fun to play with groups like clans or guilds.

    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.
