📜 Overview
Day of Defeat (DoD) is a team-based multiplayer first-person shooter developed by Valve. Initially released as a mod for Half-Life in 2003, it was later re-released as a standalone game in 2005. The game is set during World War II, and players are divided into two teams: the Axis and the Allies. The gameplay centers around capturing objectives, strategic teamwork, and tactical combat in a variety of historically-inspired maps. Day of Defeat offers a realistic yet fast-paced experience that blends historical accuracy with arcade-style action.

Become your grandpa

its like DoD:S, except it sucks even more

my biggest mistake was refunding such a master piece

Everyone in this game is fucking 80 years old. Believe it or not, they aren't fun with play with.

I really enjoy Day of Defeat. It's a very basic FPS WW2 shooter. The small DOD community's in different servers motivates me to return and try my best against these veteran players. I catch myself playing hours into it because of how invested I become when players start talking and having a good time. The admins keep their server lobby's in order to enjoy your experience. The more you log in and play you will notice a lot of familiar names in your games. That is the chance to introduce yourself and make friends to enhance your games.

this is my favorite game to play at 2 AM because i join a lobby and find two old men who were probably alive during this war talking in voice chat, a hacker, and at least 12 bots

You can kill people in this game

Didn't seem like anyone was playing at the time.
DOD:S is much better in my opinion.

There's a very roundabout way to get it working with bots. Multiplayer is not an option for me as the servers with the most players are over 200 ping.

full of super chill seniors 10/10

it is an old game but very fun would recamend it

never have been a big fan of military tactical shooters, and day of defeat doesn't really change that fact for me. maybe i'm just a noob, but i dunno, it's just not my thing.

Very fun game

this game is so trash

steam i want a refund

WW2 in Goldsource

great folks in the servers

gam is good ig

its aite

A nice game.

this is a great game even though its old

This game deserves a award.

Best game to play lately.

Good, but not the best.

The absolute best FPS of all time!

No way to report players, mind you its a very old game. Most of the "community" that is still active is cheating. Its a "VAC" protected game but that doesn't mean anything. This review is pointless, but considering I used to love this game many many years ago its sad to see the state its in.

Day of Defeat in my opinion is THE best HL1 mod. In one way its ww2 counter strike. The other it's a game that has aged perfectly and is a game that Is better than some modern games. Currently, I have 26 hours. I can guarantee I will play dozens more. Would recommend!

perfect WW2 game, old, but classic

Det var en 50 år gammel bestemor som skrek noen upassende ord 10/10

My friend who I play CS 2 with said if I post a review on this game and it gets 202 likes and 69 Awards that he will buy me a RTX 3060 and 2 Kilos of canned ham. So I'm just gonna leave this here. Help a brotha!

Masterpiece.

Put "trans" in my name and got banned from a number of servers. Seems some of the server mods are kinda trash. Was able to find some alternate servers to play on, though.

Enjoyable early Valve FPS with some realistic aspects like stamina, increased weapon recoil, and quick time-to-kill that add some depth over something like early Counter Strike. Could get into several lobbies just fine with other players as of late 2024.

I enjoy listening to everyone's banter. Most of the time, people are friendly enough or just leave me alone. And I LIVE for the Half-Life robot announcer voice that is used in some of the servers. It scratches an itch in my brain.

Good game, but it's pretty dead
6/10

Fun game
