    You need luck and skill and that's a good thing, because it takes more than the nimble fingers and fast reflexes of younger people. I'm 36 years old and in the beginning these young "punks" annoyed the heck out of me, but now I completely pawn them - well.. sometimes, hehe. Too bad there is no physicality about damage as it feels awfully akward to see your hitman nimbly run You need luck and skill and that's a good thing, because it takes more than the nimble fingers and fast reflexes of younger people.

Too bad there is no physicality about damage as it feels awfully akward to see your hitman nimbly run along after you emptied your gun in his legs, not to mention when you yourself really should be penalized for the staggering bloodloss of your last duel.… Expand

    a bit tedious, sometimes spend more time running to the action than in the action. Doesnt encourage me to play it much.

    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.

    One of the more underrated FPS's in my opinion, it has good balance with the player classes. It doesn't really favor being a sniper or a machine gunner, or assault classes by giving them more special abilities. I also like the fact that you respawn pretty quickly too.

    I don't see any advantages of the source game engine, because all in game simply rush with too big speed. The graphycs in game on an average level. It's looks like a generic arcade, I can't play this after CS:S. CS:S - really good production.

    This game is da coolest online action i;ve ever seen, there are just sometimes problem in steam.exe connection. Also, most servers are empty so, it's hard to settle down in this game.

    this game would have gotten a perfect 10 out of 10 if it had ANY, any at all, user created maps. Unlike counter-strike source this game features only official maps...correct me if im wrong. BUT! this game has lots of other elements that make of for the lack of user made crap. for one the graphics are the source engine and well i love the source engine. the ragdolls are nice. being able to this game would have gotten a perfect 10 out of 10 if it had ANY, any at all, user created maps.

In CS you can go out by yourself and survive for 4-5 rounds alone. In dod source if you go off by yourself you will die and not get anything acomplished but a high death and low kill score.… Expand

    DoD was the best WWII game I have ever played, and when DoD:S was released using the new source engine, wow it blew me away, it's much better then any of the WWII games on the market right, I even just tried Red Orchestra, and wow that game sucks so much compared to this, graphics, gameplay, sound and all.

    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.
