    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.

    Definitely one of the most overlooked games around. Admittedly at release it was lacking, but now that it has many maps and updates, it is an incredible game. You feel like you are fighting in a real conflict, like you have something more vested in winning than "pwning n00bs", with that and respawning, it offers many things that CS and CS:S do not.

    Good game just a few minor errors... First the graphics are some of the best on the market being utilized by the source engine. Second all around the game play is fun and exciting listening to the realistic sounds and other features. But the only fall backs of this game are minor details. The guns are very inaccurate which by all standards I know the producers were going for realism but Good game just a few minor errors...

But the only fall backs of this game are minor details. The guns are very inaccurate which by all standards I know the producers were going for realism but not all people want that. Also there are only a few maps (avalanche,anzio,donner,flash, argentan) which come standard with the game. But other than those there are already plenty of custom maps which every1 loves. I say it is a good game overall except those few little errors which will soon be fixed.… Expand

    I know it's just a game, but everyone has to be getting tired of getting stuck in door jams, bottle tops, weeds, etc. etc. etc... Generally someone went out of their way to make the game as tedious as possible. Tedious is not fun. I think everyone is tired of getting shot through walls, around corners, etc. I never understood why I can be shot from someone that can see me, but I I know it's just a game, but everyone has to be getting tired of getting stuck in door jams, bottle tops, weeds, etc. etc. etc...

    Best online game I played so far. I love this game more than Counterstrike : source. For the moment there is only one game that still could beat Day of Defeat source; Red Orchestra. Looking forward to play that game.

    I play DoD:S all the time. It is a very strategy oriented game while still focusing on the individual skill of the player. There are a few flaws, but I am willing to look past them. To get the full experience from this game you need to search for the right server. Playing with the right people makes all the difference and enhances the gameplay in many ways.

    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!

    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.

    Great game. I can sit for hours playing this. Its not boring like CS because you don't have to wait long when you die, and the graphics and physics ROCK! I have bought the package: CS:S, DoD:S and DM:S. I just play DoD:S now because it's the best of the three.

    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.
