Saving Private Ryan? I think not!

Day of Defeat is basically counter-strike with an attempted WWII setting. It does not, nor will it ever feel like Saving Private Ryan, and whoever told you that this was an epic WWII game needs to get their head examined. While not a bad idea in itself, the game fails to convey the meaning of war. It is simply a pretty display of new textures and skins, and a lame attempt at character classes a la Return to Castle Wolfenstein. In the end, it is a mediocre spinoff that screams counter-strike. The levels feel cramped and it feels like you're playing laser-tag in a room rather than fighting a war out on the fields of battle. There are few maps and even fewer players actually playing the game. The Omaha level is a nice try (for the millionth time), but still no cigar. Consult Medal of Honor or Battlefield 1942 on how to get this level right. The game is multiplayer ONLY and requires a somewhat fast connection (cable is preferred). As far as system specifications go, it's the outdated half-life engine with new textures and you should be able to run it with the old system that's collecting dust in the attic. Purchase at your own risk or download for free if you have half-life or retail version of counter-strike. But if you really must have a WWII game with freedom of movement, so you don't feel like a rat in a maze...skip this title and get Battlefield 1942 instead.

best WWII game ever made

I have been playing this game for 3 years and i am still hooked. sure the graphics arn't as good as newer games but they serve their purpose. If graphics are all you care about then by all means skip this game and miss out on one if not the best experiance i have ever had in gaming. The level design and character classes are amazingly acuarate in it is just flat out a blast to play. anyone who compares this game to counter strike is frankly retarted. This game differes from CS in an uncountable number of ways. This is in no way another CS. it is its own game and one thats 100X better than counter strike. BUY THIS GAME

Great Game!

This is a great game but you are better off just buying Half-Life and downloading this game along with the other great Half-Life mods out there like Counter-Strike and TFC.

Quite a good game, but...

This is a very fun game, although I find the preponderance of morons on your average gaming server to weight it down a bit. However, don't buy this package. Go buy Half-Life: Game of the Year edition, it's 19.99 new and 12.99 used. Then download this mod. It is available on the Internet for free, perfectly legally. Further, there are many other great mods for download, and you also get a fantastic single-player game, which, even though it's a bit dated at this point, is still really good. Don't waste your money on this.

Addicting, Fun, cant stop playing

i downloaded Day of Defeat 1.0 today, and i must say that it is a great addition to the Halflife Family. I have played this game since the original mod came out 2 years ago, but this is the best by far. The graphics are astonishing, the gameplay is exciting, and the action will make your adrenaline rush.

This game takes place during world war 2, and you can choose to play as either a German, American, or British. Use all of the famous weapons used in world war 2, including the Kar 98, the Enfeild, and the tompsohn sub machine gun. This game is online only, but the game never ceases to amaze me. if you already have halflife or Counterstrike, you can ...purchase this game right here on amazon.com. If you like Battlefield 1942, but tired of the flying and the slow gameplay, i recomend this game.

P.S. i reccomend you have a cable modem for this game to improve game speed.

Anyone that has had the slightest interest in WWII, buy this

Well, I spent close to about a year of my life helping develop this amazing piece of software, and let me tell you, it's perfect. It all started out as a mod for us and our friends, and now it is it's own game. I can go out and buy it at my local store. In fact I did! I suggest you go out and do the same right now. If you won't take my word for it, ask someone if they have ever played DoD, and if they have, chances are they have good things to say about it. The game is just so fun and intense at the same time. If you've ever wanted to be a part of a movie like Saving Private Ryan, then here's your chance to re-live those kinds of movies in online WWII Action.

DoD Rocks!!

Day of Defeat is a great multiplayer game. For pure, multiplayer infantry combat action it is light years ahead of Battlefield 1942, a game it is often compared to. The development team has always shown great attention to detail regarding player models, weapons, maps and general ambience. The detailed graphics and sound effects make you feel immersed in the action, as if bullets are really flying by your head. I have been playing this game for over two years now (it began as a downloadable Half-Life mod) and I am still heavily addicted to it. The game has evolved quite a bit in that time, with new additions keeping it fresh and allowing it to remain the most fun PC game I have ever played. Given its track record, there is an extensive community already established for new players to become a part of. There are tons of opportunities for league and clan play, tournaments, and online forums and resources. You should definitely buy this game!!

Really great, but don't buy it, download it

This game, Day of Defeat is one of the best games, it has kept me occupied and interested for hours. The strategies of all the different classes, and learning how to perfect how you use each weapon differently. Really an excellent game, the levels are great, lots of variation. Here we go on the review:

Gameplay: 10/10- this game is one of the most fun games ever, and because its online, it never gets boring

Sound: 9/10- awesome, very good, the only better WW2 sounds i've heard in a game are in Medal Of Honor Allied Assault.

Multiplay: 10/10- there are always hundreds if not thousands of servers available to play on for free, on any level you want, very easy to find a good game to play in

Graphics: 8/10- same as Half-life (modified Quake 2 engine), but the developers of this game managed to get awesome detail into every level, every character, and every weapon and item

overall, this game deserves a very high rating, as it is one of the best games ever in my opinion...the only drawback is: it costs 30 $$...if you buy Half-life for 30 $$ you can download Day of Defeat online for free, and you get the entire Halflife game as well. That is a much better deal, and that is why I'm giving this game a rating of 4, because, as perfect of a game as it is, its a much better deal to get both Halflife and Day of Defeat (through download) for 30 $$

Fun WW2 arena game!!!!!!!!!
