When Half-Life 2 was released in 2004 we were told that an updated version of Day of Defeat was "coming soon." As we've found, Valve's not always the best company when it comes to the definition of "soon," but Day of Defeat: Source is finally out, and does just about everything you'd hope it would.ĭay of Defeat: Source has no manual, digital or otherwise. Day of Defeat, which put players in the combat boots of World War II warriors fighting for control of strategic capture points, grew a devout fan base, a community of mappers, and was even released as a retail product along with the other gazillion editions of Half-Life. While the original Day of Defeat modification for Half-Life was overshadowed by the Counter-Strike juggernaut (what mod wasn't?), it was by any reasonable measure a phenomenal success. Instead, virtual soldiers must play more conservatively and work together as a squad. Factors such as weapon recoil, the need to deploy some guns in order to use them effectively, and limited character stamina discourages players from attempting super-human maneuvers common in more arcade-styled shooters, such as the Unreal and Quake games. The game's realistic approach sets it apart from many other first-person shooters. Designed exclusively for online multiplayer warfare, Day of Defeat emphasizes small, tactical battles in Europe during World War II. Day of Defeat: Source requires an internet connection for play.įollowing the same trail to victory blazed by Counter-Strike, Day of Defeat is a team-oriented first-person shooter that began as a modification for the PC classic Half-Life.
This package contains a version of the Day of Defeat mod, designed to run on Valve Software's "Source" engine, which also powers Half-Life 2.
