    Day of Infamy is not for any kind of user, but it's realistic, complex and great co-op experience.

    Day of Infamy is a highly engaging World War II multiplayer FPS by New World Interactive, the makers of Insurgency. The game plays similarlyDay of Infamy is a highly engaging World War II multiplayer FPS by New World Interactive, the makers of Insurgency. The game plays similarly to the aforementioned, but there are many new mechanics which improve the experience. For example, the multiplayer classes are unique and interesting; officers can call in artillery strikes, machinegunners mow down enemies with a storm of bullets, and flamethrower troops can fill whole rooms with liquid fire.

    Gunplay is smooth and satisfying, with hit detection that works impeccably. Because most weapons kill in one or two shots, combat is snappy and intense. Grenades and other explosives have a wide kill radius and help to break up stalemates on the objectives. The weapons in the game are straight from World War II and are modeled quite well. The smoke grenades look very good compared to many other games (CS:GO for example) and using them properly is key to winning games. Voice acting in the game is amazing, and hearing a German officer yell for artillery or an American rifleman curse when reloading really adds to the immersion.

    Map design is, in my opinion, miles ahead of Insurgency. Not only do the maps feel more "realistic" in their design but they are also well balanced and fun to play, with plenty of room to maneuver. There are a variety of objective-based game modes, each with a different pacing and overall feel.

    The main drawbacks of this game are lackluster graphics and occasional technical issues, but in my opinion none of this detracts from the amazing gameplay experience.

    In conclusion: if you like Insurgency, multiplayer shooters, or World War II games in general, Day of Infamy should be considered essential. If you don't usually enjoy those things, Day of Infamy just might change your mind.    … Full Review »

    Don't read the critic reviews. Critics are rarely to be trusted. Gamers know, because gamers remember. We remember Day of Defeat - howDon't read the critic reviews. Critics are rarely to be trusted. Gamers know, because gamers remember. We remember Day of Defeat - how brilliant the combat and gameplay was in that Counterstrike mod. Day of Infamy brings back all that was good about the original Day of Defeat into the brilliantly adaptable source engine. This game is all about movement and gunplay, teamwork and communication, just as I expect real war would be. You don't need next gen graphics and demanding requirements to enjoy a game.

    So let the critics give this game sub 80 score, when it really deserves 90+. Critics who've probably never played Day of Defeat and instead feed themselves on a diet of CoD or Battlefield.

    For realism, experience, immersion and fun, look no further for your online FPS needs than Day of Infamy.

    Enjoy it before the toxic CS:GO crowd get here.    … Full Review »

    Think about Call of Duty 2 merges with Insurgency. A little of Day of Defeat and Rising Storm, though. It concludes with "Day of Infamy".Think about Call of Duty 2 merges with Insurgency.
