While I admit the gameplay is fun, it is far from the best. The graphics are lacking, the realism is scarce and it screams for an update. I would definatley not rate this game among the best WWII games ever made...

ON-LINE ONLY!!!!!!

I HAVE NEVER PURCAHSED A GAME THAT WAS LIMITED TO ON-LINE GAME PLAY. THIS REALLY HITS A LOW. SURE, I REALIZE THAT MANY PEOPLE HAVE THE CAPABILITY TO PLAY THESE GAMES BUT I AM NOT ONE OF THEM. WHY EVEN MAKE A GAME LIMITED TO MULTIPLAYER?
ATTENTION BUYERS: PLEASE READ THE FINE PRINT! DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY ON GAMES YOU WON'T PLAY! I HAVE SPENT ALOT OF MONEY ON GAMES ONLY TO FIND OUT THEY ARE NOT WHAT IS REPRESENTED BY THE MANUFACTURER.
*SHOULD HAVE READ THE FINE PRINT.

Tried and true!

This is the game that really started off the whole WW2 shooter rage. Once you play it, you'll see why. It still is one of the best WW2 games out there.

This new version of DoD is just like Counter-Strike, except it takes place in WWII europe. It's disgusting how similar it is to Counter-Strike. While some people do enjoy this game over the older version, most CS or DoD fans hate v1.0 because of its very unoriginal nature. As far as upgrades go, this version has added a very childlike interface, a dynamic crosshair that fails to reflect the time period that the game takes place in, and finally some new maps that seem more like CS maps than ever before. Sure, they added a few new textures, but the layout of the maps is still cramped to force the player to use strategies that would be used in the present day world of submachine guns and body armor, not those of old time WWII.

If you want a WWII first person shooter, then go for Battlefield: 1942 or Return to Castle Wolfenstein. Don't waste your money on this Counter-Strike copy that uses the same outdated engine.

First of all, this game is in no way related to CS, so all comparisons between the two should stop. It wasn't made "by the makers of CS and Half-Life", although the latest version does seem to have been created to suit the tastes of the CS community.

I think this is the best WW2 game on the market if you're looking for a realistic squad-based game. The scenarios are mostly in cities ravaged by war, with rubble and destroyed tanks littering the streets. The newer maps feel like small deathmatch arenas made in cities with doors chained shut instead of simulations of real battles, which have taken the place of large, diverse environments.

The maps are objective-based. There are two or three types of maps, which are area control, objective capture, and assault. Area control maps have multiple flags situated evenly throughout the map, with the two sides pushing each other back and capturing more flags as they move along, eventually controling the whole map and ending the round (Kalt, Caen, Donner). Objective maps have one or more objectives for each side to complete, such as destroying tanks or capturing documents (Jagd, Vicenza). Assault maps could be either of the other two, but with one side defending while the other side tries to outflank the defenders (Glider, Zalec, beach maps).

The soldier and weapon dynamics are much more realistic than those of DoD's counterparts, MOH and BF1942. Rocket launchers require shouldering, sniper rifles have sway, and if you sprint or jump around too much, you will lose stamina and be a sitting duck.

The game has gone through multiple beta stages where thousands of people contributed to the DoD community and helped the mod developers perfect the game.

Although now the dev. team is basically under control of Valve and Activision and has somewhat receeded from the amazing game it was in the beta stages, it's still being frequently updated to suit the needs of the growing community.

Played it. Its good but its got some bugs that need to be worked out.

1. Stearings a little hard.

2. Some maps Allies and/or Axis have a total advantage to it.

3. Re-spawning needs to be a bit quicker

finnaly 4. Automatic death to any spawn campers (little noobs)

Gets boring after so many hours

Graphics are good, but over all, I enjoy Battlefield far better than this when it comes to WWII game. Unlike Battlefield, all you do is just shoot guns and shoot guns and shoot guns. That's it. There isn't much of tactics other than just get flags. No airplanes, tanks, ships, nothing. In Battlefield, you can ride so many different type of vehicles, anti-aircraft guns, stationally guns, get on different types of airplans, ships.. so much more than just shooting guns. Medal of Honor is similar to this, but again, Medal of Honor is far better. Medal of Honor has missions to complete. All you do on this game is just shoot each other and get flags.....that's it. You can just keep running until you find somebody who does not have name tag showing up as "friendly". When you throw a grenade, you can see on map, so not much of tactics for that.

If you enjoy just shooting guns w/o much of tactics, this is the one for you. If you want more challenge, get some other games

Not Worth 35$

The game is like at least 7 years old and not worth 35$
there are better games out there.

the graphics are like cardboard-cut-outs especially the vehicles, tanks, trucks, buildings

wow this game is great it is by far one of the greatest online action games ever next to counter strike. 1 thing that i love about this game is the teamwork if you want to win you have to work together with your team or you wont do so well. I got this game for free with half life and it is a great game i highly reccomend it and for another great online multiplayer game get counter strike.
