ManuelW.May 6, 2006Except for some little bugs, the fact that each server has different movement setups and the missing map versatility it puts you into stunning battle action with great teamwork capabilities without the boring waiting while others camp around for hours in case you died.
-
-
JimP.May 6, 2006More enjoyable and intense than Counter strike source, better game play than battlefield 2, an improvement over the original in every way!
-
-
RemS.May 6, 2006One of the best games ever :)

SirSacMay 6, 2006DoD:S is an amazing WWII shooter that i can easily play all day if i don't whatch it. It is simply my favorite game besides CS:S.
-
-
ChrisR.May 9, 2006one of the best 1st person shooters and war time gaems around, realy realistic and doesn't require to download hunks of mp3's. realy easy to have playable mods, that actuly work on another persons server.
-
-
JoeE.Jun 1, 2006Better with more choice of team and more weapons but other than that its an ace game.

RIKB.Jul 13, 2006Best online fast action ww2 game EVER.! forget being a hero.. you'll just die a lot, fall in with acouple of buddies and youll carve your way to the target.
-
-
AlvaroD.Jul 17, 2006Best game in the world.
-
-
ZillingerZ.Jul 18, 2006The best WW2 mod available due to size of maps and the array of weapon choice. The HL engine runs the greatest out of all FPS. Battlefield makes a close 2nd to this game.
-
-
MattW.Jul 24, 2006One Of The Best Valve Games so far.
-
-
PålR.Jul 29, 2006The game I ALWAYS return to after plowing through all the other crap. I've followed this through every version from the first public beta on HL1 and I still play it almost every day.
-
-
KrisS.Jul 3, 2006Amazing game. Very realistic, and non-stop action.
-
-
JohnG.Jul 30, 2006This is one of the best games I had played yet. I see that there is almost 2,000 servers up on this game and only a few hundred on HL2DM.
-
-
ClemensB.Jul 4, 2006In my opinion is that game the best of all World War II games.
-
-
JoelB.Jul 4, 2006Excellent team based game for long LAN parties or quick ten minute blasts.
-
-
Sgt.D.Jul 4, 2006Excellent gameplay, sweet graphics. The lack of maps is nothing to worry about with the regular updates from Valve.
-
-
PhilipK.Jul 8, 2006The gameplay is awesome. It's one of the few games out there where the front line moves.
-
-
M.ChatmannJul 9, 2006Good maps. Good fun. But to slow to load i most cases!
-
-
XavierO.Aug 10, 2006WW2 multiplayer action at its best. Fast paced action, awesome source engine, and realistic weapon behavior make this game a real winner. bullets really hurt in this WW2 game. 2 or 3 shots will kill you. not like other games where you can get hit 20 times, live get health packs, and then keep on fighting as if there is no tomorrow. Kudos do Valve, who have done it once again.

StevenH.Aug 11, 2006The best game yet from valve.

AlexK.Aug 4, 2006Amazing game! great graphic and lighting. The best online game play i have EVER experienced!
-
-
TobiasS.Aug 4, 2006I LOVE IT! Only thing I miss is that the game should have more Nations (Russia, Japan or GB) and that you should can find some granates in boxes on every map.
-
-
BobD.Aug 8, 2006Really fun best game ever should make a medieval game like this :O
-
-
PeterC.Sep 12, 2006It is the best ww2 game I ever have played. An I did only get it for 160 dkr.
-
-
JamesL.Sep 10, 2006V good. Too much recoil tho...
-
-
WallaceH.Sep 20, 2006Best game I have ever played, very realistic. Very easy to score at 10 rating.

NicolasR.Sep 28, 2006This game is perfect!
-

WimW.Sep 28, 2006TOP game. Guarantees for many months of high quality and fantastic online gameplay
-
-
JacobN.Oct 15, 2007Been playing for years now, although I liked it better before Valve took over, I still play every night, and I always play avalanche. Proof that playing the same map, over and over and over and over again for years is still FUN!
-
-
DanielM.Dec 3, 2007My Favorite GAME!!! Best gaming(in despite of some CS players in the servers) not good resolution, but excellent game... I think Support is the worst... 3 days do download SDK, my ticket for 3 days expired in second map I wa playing (10 minutes) many days to send invites.
-
-
NRJan 20, 2007A timeless classic - despite the fact that there are hardly ever new maps! A shame because the gameplay is FANTASTIC! Worth every cent!
-
-
StefanM.uJan 25, 2007Very great game. Very good Steam package. Very realistic firing, compared with Counter-Strike Source or other Source Powered Games.

HenneApr 17, 2007I play dod since it was a free beta half-life mod and with dod-source it is still, one of the best multiplayer games out there!
-
-
EricB.Apr 17, 2007This is an awesome game no doubt!
-
-
RafaelV.Apr 29, 2007Great graphics, fast action, realistic. Just play it once and you will ignore all other games out there.

AndyH.Jun 10, 2007Great graphics and extremely realistic type of gameplay. The best WWII shooter in my opinion.
-
-
Dua|ity9thRangersJun 24, 2007Excellently paced world war 2 shooter, kicks the crap out of CoD2. Minor bugs pop up from time to time more associated with the Source game engine than DoD itself. I just wish there were more maps but theres always a very active community creating more and more everyday! Theres no better place to kill some time than a Day of Defeat Source server, come and play you'll love it!!
-
-
RobertoG.Jun 2, 2007The best WWII on-line game I've ever played!
-
-
ShaunM.Jun 5, 2007Valve are always raising the bar on how good games should be, and yet again, they have done it. Superb graphical detail and the oh so beautiful source engine. Full marks here.
-
-
JaredP.Jul 23, 2007Major graphical improvement over DOD. Great Game! Fun to play.
-
-
RyanC.Jul 29, 2007It has to be the best source shooter ever, it beats counter strike source in all aspects
-
-
NovsekN.Jul 8, 2007The best game I ever played!
-
-
PavelS.Aug 1, 2007Great multiplayer game, good physical model and low claim on hardware.
-
-
LukeS.Aug 2, 2007Addictive and intense, once you start playin its hard to stop.
-
-
SirlollododFeb 2, 2008THE WW2 war game online! It's a real, fantastic simulation of WW2. Graphics is very good, as well the phisyx effect. Need just 10$ to buy it, but it's worth more!!! Buy it if you like war game FPS
-
-
LuizM.Feb 5, 2008An underestimated game, far better then what the general reviews say! Amazing game, fun, and much more balanced then Counter-Strike.
-
-
VincentH.Mar 11, 2008Great game that is better to play if you like mods.
-
-
AlexanderS.Apr 13, 2008This is one of the best FPSs i have ever played i love the hearing the sound of bullets wizz past you while your sprinting to try and take a flag and not die.
-
-
NicolaiE.Apr 17, 2008Hell of a nice game! The best game of all!
-
-
MaslabMay 19, 2008Good graphics, and amazing fun. Find the right server, and you can have loads of fun on user created content. Balanced classes and limitations keep the game fun and flowing. Does suffer a bit from repetitiveness and overpowered weapons. Could definitely use some updates to balance those, but still great fun.
-
-
RazwanM.May 2, 2008Starting to loose its appeal as there should be more updates to bring it back to life.
-
-
RobertC.May 4, 2008DOD is the best game i have ever played. No game compares! Good job Valve!
-
-
PabloA.May 7, 2008Best shooter game.
-
-
RyanM.Jun 20, 2008This is the best game, VAC needs a major update for it tho!

KevinWJul 30, 2008This is the best game ever made, although I am not so sure about the update. It has great graphics, and a great gameplay. I hope you all enjoy this game as much as I do!
-
-
JimmyA.Jul 6, 2008Enjoyable game to play when you want something different from source.
-
-
MarrsJ.Aug 4, 2008This game rocks forever, 2nd world war épic battles! Realistics actions.
-
-
CCAug 6, 2008Love the Source phyics and the fast-paced gameplay. But I need iron sights for all weapons as well as other gametypes (eg TDM, DM, CTF).
-
-
ErnieS.Sep 18, 2008I think this is a GREAT game really exciting if you think otherwise I think you just don't know how to play the game properly!

HudsonJNov 3, 2009Great community all the people i have meet have been fun to play with nice.

AnonymousMCSep 4, 2009This game takes every I liked about the original and rips it all out. Instead of a tense, methodical WW2 game with balanced weapons, it's just a run and gun shooter where players move inhumanly fast and shoot bazookas like the rocket launchers in quake. Worth some fun, but it gets a zero in my book for ruining such a fun, unique game.
-
-
BrainLJan 13, 2010THIS GAME IS AWESOME!!! Awesome Multiplayer! I like what the game is based of WWll. I love shooting Nazis ^^
-
-
MattT.Nov 12, 2005Atmospheric for a multiplayerwith great background noise, you dont have to be a geek on this 24/7 to stand a chance like counter strike, as it seems to reward you for cunning. Within seconds ur in ww2 and having fun, which is what it's all about. Graohics are good and it will be added to in time, so things too look forward too. GREAT!
-
-
BrianJ.Oct 30, 2005Like some of the reviewers, I enjoyed the gameplay of the old DoD much more. Mostly, I feel that the new one plays very fast and feels less real than the original despite more realistic graphics. If gameplay could be a bit more realistically paced and the levels a little less claustrophobic, I'd be completely on board and giving this new DoD a 10.
-
-
SamP.Oct 1, 2006Its awesome ww2 action. Better than moh. DOD:source is something you want!
-
-
HollowTipzOct 11, 2006DOD has always been a favorite, now the Source took it to a much higher level, its sick!

AlexH.May 11, 2006This game is amazing- The excellent gameplay you'll find in Day of Defeat combined with the superior graphics of the Source Engine- An easy 10!
-
-
DaveN.May 12, 2006Not the best game i seem to die to fast and it doesnt make it that fun , but the graphics are awsome and it is really realistic.
-
-
DavidT,May 10, 2006A fun game, which I prefer more then the origianal, it has great graphics and, in my opinion, great gameplay. The only problem I have is the shortage of maps.
-
-
matty_gMay 10, 2006The best WWII-shooter out there, hands down.
-
-
BrunoM.May 14, 2006Que du bonheur, on ne s'ennuie jamais sauf quand c'a deconnecte.
-
-
WilfredoR.May 14, 2006Simply amazing. The physics in this game are unbelievable and the gameplay is fast-paced and fun, definitly the best game on steam right now.
-
-
JasonH.May 15, 2006This is my Favorite game. I don't know why but I lose hours and hours playing this gem! The graphic improvement from the prior version is awesome. All in all Its pace and gameplay are better than any other shooter I have played.
-
-
grandoldmanoutlawsMay 16, 2006I'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.
-
-
[Anonymous]May 16, 2006Some more maps and the game would have been marked with 8.5/9.
-
-
KarlB.May 16, 2006Fast 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.
-
-
LegendaryG.May 19, 2006The 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.
-
-
DominikE.May 21, 2006It's the best game, I've ever played!
-
-
RoygerA.May 22, 2006Best teamwork oriented game i've played by far, along with killer graphics, and realistic sound quality.
-
-
MatthewV.May 22, 2006Excellent game, more challenging then CS:Source and HL2: Deathmatch.
-
-
GenralC.May 23, 2006Very addictive. Gameplay is nxt to or close to Halo. I just wish they had a free-for-all.
-
-
RobertoB.May 25, 2006Fantastic game!
-
-
GrubbelB.May 25, 2006nice optic....but there are only some maps...no fun games...not much weapons....only one play mode...CS:S is much better.

Awards & Rankings
-
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.
