    This game is great it includes all the best weaponry of WWII and uses the steam source engine, it can't get much better than this.

    graphically is the best game I've ever seen. with HDR and more detailed models is even better than Half-Life 2, Doom 3, or F.E.A.R. The sound effects are also incredible and the gameplay is excellent, very tactical and varied. I enjoy it much more than Counter Strike. The only problem is that there are just 6 maps, but new maps are on the road, with 1 new map every couple of months. graphically is the best game I've ever seen. with HDR and more detailed models is even better than Half-Life 2, Doom 3, or F.E.A.R.

    This game is truly awsome with the best graphics out there. The sound is also breath taking as u here the bullets come by taking away friends. I absolutely love this game all around.

    This was a very intense and addicting game for the time i was able to play it. i loved every second of it. i played during the 2 day preview or whatever it was called. the maps were really easy to learn, the action was never far away, and i enjoyed working as a team. i'm a MOH:AA fan. i personally think the online gameplay was more fun than counterstrike:source, but not as much fun asThis was a very intense and addicting game for the time i was able to play it. i loved every second of it. i played during the 2 day preview or whatever it was called. the maps were really easy to learn, the action was never far away, and i enjoyed working as a team. i'm a MOH:AA fan. i personally think the online gameplay was more fun than counterstrike:source, but not as much fun as MOH:AA. oh yeah, one more thing... think about how much satisfaction was to be had when you captured all strongpoints/flags and won the match, wasn't that great?… Expand

    Team based play is a must for this game,if your mg, assult or rifle,there is always a enemy to counter attack your actions,so its be quick or be dead.excellent detail in player models and maps. and the shock nade affect is awsome,what a way to flush the enemy out, in to your gun fire.

    This is one of the most fun games i think i have ever played. Smooth graphics and funny rag doll physics make this game good, but great gameplay, good controll and authenticity make it freeking sweet. I am buying ASAP!

    DoD is a game that combines great graphics, great gameplay, and great environments. Unlike CSS, Day of Defeat is a game which is always intense and doesnt leave you waiting for a long time while your team finishes the round. Instead, your always in the battlefield no matter how much you die which creates a setting in which lots of people can take place in a 30 minute bloodbath....WW2 DoD is a game that combines great graphics, great gameplay, and great environments.

    Great game, but I'd love to see the British team again, maybe you could add a sovjet team as well and add some new maps, would be great for the game to get 2 new teams to choose.

    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.
