Not too good.

This could be a good game if there was a way to play it other than online. Unfortunately, the description of the game doesn't tell you that that's the only way it works.

Too little, too late...

This game would have been worth buying over a year ago. You can find more bang for your buck elsewhere.

The older versions of DoD remain in my heart some of the best online titles of all time. This new version does not disapoint. A visually stunning frag fest. For the 16 bucks that it is offered here you will find no better entertainment for your dime.

It is a pretty hardware intensive game. But if you were able to play Half-life 2 or the recent Counter-Strike: Source you should be up to par. The online community at www.dayofdefeat.com has some fixes, too, for those on slower machines.

By the way it looks as if you can demo this game for free this weekend of the Feb 9th. see ya in game.

If you like first person shooters, it's hard to beat the constant challenge of playing real people online. Most first person shooters are single player, and after you play through you are done with the game. If they have a multiplayer option, it is usually slapped together and not very good. Often, it is a "spray and pray" type game.

This game keeps going, and is continually challenging.

I am almost 40 so I am not as fast as these younger players, but I do OK.

You need a decent video card, and a fast internet connection, DSL or cable. Add 5.1 surround sound Kinyo headphones and you are really in the game. Many hours of fun. See you on the battlefield!

NOTE(July 18,2008):do to a recent update and some practice I have had on DOD:S i will try to edit this reveiw when I get the chance(for some positive stuff has happened to DOD:S)

I really enjoyed this game, however it had some probloms:

Pros:
1.Its the best multi-player WWII game i've seen-in short it's way better that call of duty 2 mult-player mode.
2.realism-the realism can be turned buth ways, if your one of those gamers who likes to play their games with the true super long reloading and the machine gun with the huge backfire and the no realoading till you've used all your ammo on the rifle, then it could be a pro to you.(but it defeinatly is a con for me)
3.the seanrey and water are nice.

...and heres the cons:
cons:
1.it takes a long time to load.(if you have a pc that ran hl2 you will run this with about the same speed as my pc ran it.)
2.the game gave you this nervis feeling that you don't get with counter strike:source or other multi-player games thus making the mormal player suck like hell.(don't block this HELL IS NOT A CUSS WORD!)
3.most of the maps felt pointless and the goal of most of them were to walk over to a flag or a tank with a flag and stand there till the area is "captured" though there are a two maps that I know of that have to do with blowing up a tank or some other machine.
4.the servers are slowly dying.
5.the people you play as look stupid(if you play it you'll know what I mean)

in short if you love WWII you'll be a fan of this game. But of you want a game with capture points play team fortress 2. If you want a game were you plant exploseves then play counter strike: source

Hard, but fun

I like this game for the realism factor. If you were to run and gun like a crazed lunatic with no regard for your life trying to slay everything in your path, you probably wont live too long. Although it is possible, playing smarter and more realistic is safer.

However, this is not a realism mod and imo it is the perfect mix of realism and fun gameplay. Improved from it's free days, it is worth the 20 bucks especially if you liked it in its free days.

Its mostly capture the flag style...territorial with 5 flags having to be captured to win. Two new maps were released recently with one side attacking and one side defending. The other is a dual bomb and defend map with 2 targets per side. Gameplay on these maps appear to have been well tested before release, however they were only released a few days ago.

Great game with very little lacking

I am a huge fan of the original and can understand why some of the other reviews rip on this game, but it is still great. DOD:S has excellent graphics, quick and realistic gameplay, expanding and increasing game content, and it is a game that never gets old no matter how much you play it. It is probably the most team based online game I have played, you simply can't win all by yourself.

My favorite part of the game is how it doesn't take twenty hits to kill a guy and it is definitely not a "spray and pray" style of gameplay, it is all strategy. You learn that maps and build your reflexes and you can be great at this game.
The only thing that bothered me was the removal of a couple classes from the previous game and some of the changes in the weapons there. I didn't like how the K98 didn't always get the one shot kill, or how from a long ways off you couldn't pick someone off with the thompson. In the end the game is better for these changes though, it adds to the realism. The people complaining about the lack of maps are also out of place. While there are only 6 standard maps out, more will come and there are a lot of custom maps out there already.

Overall this game is fast-paced, strategic, team-based, and realistic. The graphics are great and the game never gets old.

This game is really fun, but I'm not going to lie, it's really hard and everyone else is pretty good. Fun, but hard. Good graphics, runs well, based off the half life 2 engine. Recommend for WWII enthusiasts.

This game is great in that, unlike say in Halo or CoD and CoD-2, you don't have to keep your aim long enough to hit the guy 10 times to finally kill him or get a lucky head shot and that's only if he stands still. In Halo and CoD if you do not have freaky reflexes or cheats, you can see the enemy before he sees you and fire the first shots and HIT him, but all you're doing is letting him know your there and he spins around dancing and kills you from 50 yards away. DoD is plenty challenging and you are always on your toes, but it's not impossible! You get the drop on a guy and get off some half-way decent shots, he's usually going to die, as he should. Seems like DoD is more realistic (1 to 3 hits, max, to kill) and no cheats. Weapons seem more realistic too. In Halo the assault rife is practically useless. I like Halo and am half-way good (most of the time), but the "Gathering Exception Data" kicks me out frequently. I've tried everything I could find to fix it, nothing works. DoD is constant play, no "Gathering Exception Data" pop up. Some frustrations with server list, but once you find real players they seem to have a little more self-control than the usual gamer mobs.

not that good - and screw you, steam!!!

this game is simply and solely an attempt to be call of duty. when will people realize that the COD series is the only truly good ww2 game series out there? this game can be a decent amount of fun, but it comes across as an under-funded counterstrike clone with different graphics. well, if i wanted to play CS, i'd play CS!! the weapons control isn't that great.

and to top it off, here's the WORST part of this game - i went on recently and all the servers had a bunch of "people" in them. you know what they were? if you guessed bots, you're wrong! they were FAKE PEOPLE. that's right, the morons running all the DOD servers put FAKE NAMES in their players list when the server is completely EMPTY so that people will go to their server! of course, then they see no one is truly in there and leave anyway, so it doesn't even work! is this the most idiotic thing you've ever heard or what??????? one last complaint - where does steam get off charging all this money for these mediocre games, and they don't even let you play a demo of them first? what the hell? i've never been pleased with a game bought on steam.
