“Its a real fun team shooter, with powerful but simple weapons good looking maps. The guns feel great and behave exactly exactly how you would expect them to. Your experience is sadly limited to you and your friends or…”

“Day Of Defeat Source is a cool little game. I'm unable to recommend it, however, for a few reasons. The most obvious issue with the game right away is its lack of players. I'm still seeing some real people pop up here…”

“good shooter. ww2 setting, source engine. balanced (lots of leagues like h1ve or esl were attached by dods). Some nostalgia here. But now game is almost dead. Only servers with bots (almost "human" like bots...) and…”

“THIS GAME IS GREAT! this game in my opinion is the most underrated ww2 shooter in gaming. Balancing is great, and unlike a lot of other games, it gives grenades a real use, and the weapons are really terrifying. First…”

“It's a good game, but unfortunately underrated and abandoned. The servers are empty, and practically no one plays. I remember a time when there were plenty of full servers with people. It's nice that all the…”

“For the longest time it was the only game that i could run on my 2GB Ram laptop without issues and is genuinely fun, the only issues is that you will most likely only found EU servers at 200ms but if you can live with…”

“Fun game, Basically Day of Defeat but slightly better.. Kar98k is best weapon (M1 grand is same lvl but I like Kar better personally but you may perfer M1 grand).. Got this game from Orange Box and decided to play it a…”

“It's fun but it's a dead game at this point, I wouldn't recommend buying it unless you got it with the Valve Complete pack. There have been reports of fastpath servers(top servers when it comes to "player" count) being…”
