    Superb game. Fantastic team based game with skillful use of weapons. Guns do have recoil...it's a fact.

    I give this a 10 because its gamplay is fast paced and dosnt take forever also the fact that u get to respawn. Graphics and sounds are awsome. Despite what others saying with guns being less accruate does make it more realitic.Also Maps are cluttered but its World War 2 i would hate to have to run for a min just to die from a sniper or mg and have to do it again and there are tactics if I give this a 10 because its gamplay is fast paced and dosnt take forever also the fact that u get to respawn.

    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.

    This is a great flop...nice graphics but the gameplay has been fucked over so hard that DoD 1.6 don't even bother with it. Thanks VALVe for killing the DoD community with this crap game that you guys never update. Maybe you'll invest more time into making crappy games like Red Orchestra to get more money and never update the solid games that actually have a fan-base. Goodjob, Valve.

    Despite critics complaints over limited amounts of maps, this game is unbelievably great. As an player of DoD Original since its beta days, the game has come quite a long ways and on the new Source engine, only goes further. Gameplay is more fast paced, realistic, and of course more visually stunning than the Original.

    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.

    Fast and fun. Voice chat not just a plus, but necessary. Great communities if you can find them. Small balancing issues on maps, needs a full server for best results. I suggest looking for 30+ slot servers only.

    Been playing this for almost 6yrs and it's awesome. Best part about it is throwing their nades back at them an seein how many you can kill. Even more fun with Friendly Fire on and killing an enemy throwing a grenade and have them kill their own team from it. You know ya wanna buy it , go on , that's right , do it right now. Beware a of the Woody with primed nades.Been playing this for almost 6yrs and it's awesome. Best part about it is throwing their nades back at them an seein how many you can kill.

    This game is pretty good. The gameplay is awesome. It needs some more developement in terms of more and bigger maps, map objectifs, and more classes. But the maps that are out there are extraordinary. What i don't like about this game is that you die so fast, and the kills are so cheap.

    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.
