Official Website

Day of Defeat: Source features multiplayer, team-based gameplay set in the WWII European theatre of operations. Players choose a role and tackle goal-oriented missions based on historical operations.

Day of Defeat: Source takes the classic gameplay of the original Day of Defeat and improves the experience with Source, the advanced engine technology Valve created for Half-Life 2. With this technology, DoD: Source offers state of the art graphics (including support for HDR lighting) in optimized versions of popular maps, plus redesigned sound and all new player, weapon, and world models.

I absolutely love this game! From extremely realistic weapon sounds and weapon recoil, I have to say that if I ever want to play infantry only, I'll just head up on Day of Defeat: Source! My favourite weapon has to be the US Army M1 Garand - it sounds absolutely immense! Snipers are difficult to control, MGs are deadly, this is by far, the best infantry only war-based game I've ever played.

(The start and end is weird, but the middle is fantastic (40 seconds it "starts" really)

I expect to be playing DoD a lot more than CS:S. In fact, I've found it to be a more satisfying game than Battlefield 2, which suffered from a lack of servers at launch, a lack of ranked servers, rank exploits, strange performance issues, high system requirements, air superiority, and a frankly rudimentary and partially arcane server browser implementation. Load times also leave BF2 in the dust.
Rated: 8.4/10 - Impressive!

The new graphics, fast paced game play, fun to play every class and good balancing of the weapon kits all bring Day of Defeat:Source to the front of the pack for WWII games on the market at the moment.

Yeah it's a pretty dank game. I like the one map where the nazis start at the top of an incline, and the allies are at the bottom. It's in a city. The nazis get some nice sniping and bazooka spots...

game gets boring after a while, still fun but I only play it once in a while.

You want a fun and more realistic WWII game? Go play Red Orchestra. That game is fun.

Red Orchestra deserves more than a mention here.

It was awesome. Pity the 5 day trial ran out. Ha, I'm a stingy bastard.

Whoa... Can't believe these forums are still kicking.

FYI, there is a lot more maps out now and certainly bombing mode is great. Some amazing custom maps, too.

DOD:S is and awsome game. I've just started playing in my clans division and it rocks! At first I was a bit hesitant as aiming took a bit of time to get the hang of but now I love it.

DoD:S was a decent game. Red orchestra is TOO realistic, slow, and shitty to ever be even a partially good game.

I only played it a few times. The scopes are annoying, the guns are annoying, ill stick with call of duty or DoD.

I understand, Red Orchestra might not be suitable for some people.

The game is really fun once you get the hang of it. The urban firefights are fun. Especially the Stalingrad maps.
