    There is not much wrong with this Multi-player game. It also works on almost all Hardware unlike it's Day Of Defeat:Source counterpart which taxes most hardware.

    This game is great for all first Person shooters! This game may not be very addcting but I must say DO NOT LISTEN TO G4! This game is very fun! It has 10 times the amount of weapons in 1 WWII game, it has OK graphics but doesn't effect you in anyway shape or form! And the realism is pretty decent, far better then any Medal of Honor! You work together with people online so AI This game is great for all first Person shooters! This game may not be very addcting but I must say DO NOT LISTEN TO G4! This game is very fun!

You work together with people online so AI isn't a problem. The biggest problem with the game would have to be the lag on bad servers. That's it! This game is a must have for ALL WWII gamers! For those who say this game stinks are just winers, and people who stink at the game! It's really easy to pick up! Actually the easiest game I was ever able to pick up! Read the Majority of reviews! Just face the facts It's a good game!… Expand

    Excellent game. The maps of this mod help to make the origional hl1 engine the most versitile MPG on the market, seemingly regardless of your system.

    I've been playing this game since its beta stages and its still my preference over all others in the genre, imo the benchmark multiplayer fps.

    DoD is one of the best WW2 games to me. It has my favorite WW2 weapons and battles in it. DoD is also realistic with the sounds of gunshots. I think everyone should rate it 10!

    I've been playing since the beta versions, cost me nothing, and it's still the best online shooter in existence. The community is sadly dying, no VAC updates being the main cause, but I will keep coming back as long as there are servers up.

    I don't think your rating of this game is fair. It is a very old game yes, but at the same time it still remains very popular and is still (even with DoD:S out) a fun game. It was, as I remember, one of the first very successful MODs for a game engine (next to counter-strike).

    I first played this game back in beta 2.1 and I was hooked from day 1. Unlike CS the emphasis was on team work to capture territory and respawn so you were back in the action much faster. It was a steep but rewarding learning curve and even back in 2002 is was highly immersive I would play for hours on one map fighting over one bridge on the map zafod or crawl throgh the mud on thunder.

Source for me killed my DOD experience but even now in 2009 nearly a decade on from when I first picked up my garand I can still jump on a server and re live some of my old memories when I had time to spend 8 hours in front of a game. I would HIGHLY recommend this game. It may not be pretty compared to newer games but it is untouchable for outright playability and addictiveness.… Expand

    This game is awesome! It incorporates mad moto skills as well as hand eye coordination as well as listening skills and also prediction and basically an enhanced version of the game memory.

    I was built from the ground up, newb to badass rambo. There are many different tactics that can be used, sniping,sneaking,going commando with a knife and slicing people. A fav. of mine is rushing past everyone by the flag and capturing it in a hail of gunfire.

    On of the best FPS games ever made (because it was from a Mod based on a Valve game!)
    I still play this game every Friday night with a solid group of friends from all over the world.
    Long Live DoD!

    This game is one of my all time favorites. It's so addictive and fun... Once you tried it and you won't put it away. I hope it will live as long as possible among the fans.

    It's harsh when you're moving toward a map objective, knowing the enemy is waiting around any corner, when 2 shots will probably kill you. It's intense gameplay, softened by the perfect models, textures, and sounds of all the weapons you use. A lot of care and attention went into this mod, and it shows.

    The sound of bullets whizzing past your ear or slamming into some nearby surface is disturbingly realistic. [Aug 2003, p.102]

    Getting into a game is incredibly easy, and the action draws you in like a real war movie.

    DOD irresistibly draws you back for more time and time again. The level designs shine above so many other team-based shooters and provide the perfect stage for some unbeatably tense shootouts.
