Day of Defeat: Source Reviews

by all modern accounts, this is a horrible game. If it didn't have the legacy it has, no one would play it. but i guess that's all that matters. Nostalgia can sell a lot of games and keep players coming back. Pros: Simple Nostalgic Cons: Few players sweaty vets that have played since it launched 50 decades ago. probably have a dedicated computer for it in their mom's basement. ugly dated graphics lacks a lot of QoL modern shooters have

It's a great game for us older crowd. If you get good enough you can spank a few yongins now and then. Makes them real mad. LOL.

Great game if you enjoy wwii shooters. it can run on a potato too, so do not worry abt specs

Absolute classic, it's an old school FPS like we unfortunately don't see often these days No battlepass, no cosmetic, no bs, just a good old server browser and that's it It's kinda like if Team Fortress and Counter Strike had a baby, and that baby was really into WW2, raw, precise and unforgiving gameplay, no bs here if you get killed it's your fault only because the game just works You get several classes, each with set weapons (rifleman, assault, sniper, MG, etc), and two factions (US, Germany) everything as a purpose. It just works ! Despite the age there is a pretty active community if passionates, expect 2 or 3 full servers most of the time. People are pretty sweet and friendly For that price I highly recommend you give it a try !

A very easy to figure out WW2 game, runs really well, but annoying on Linux (Only really if you are using a custom map). Out of the original Source games (HL2, CS:S, DOD:S, etc) I enjoy this one a lot.

If you like old-school shooters, and love WW2, this games for you. But the learning curve is really steep, you'll be dying non-stop, and just like me, you might end up wanting to refund the game. But there might be some beauty in it, I haven't seen it yet. You'll be facing against either new plays, just like yourself, or people so good, you wonder if they were in the actual military at this point. It's an okay game. I don't recommend it if you don't like having to learn quickly, get used to it's old-school mechanics (like not being able to aim with the thompson), etc.. And if you hate going against tryhard players as a new player. I recommend assault as your first class, that's how I actually got to leave spawn, get 2 kills, and die. But it was better than my 0 kills with any other class, besides sniper, if you're good at aiming, pick sniper.

Surprisingly it's still not a (completely) dead game. Way more fun than crap like counter-strike. There still seems to be a community dedicated to this and the original (goldsrc) game.

i grew up playing this game and i spent unhealthy amounts of hours 8-9 years ago. now that i have my own money i bought it for myself and its worth it. its easy to play and fun to play after work. WHISKEY TANGO FOXTROT!!!

An amazing WW2 arcade shooter! It's a mix between TF2 and CS, with an excellent gunplay and level design. I highly recommend it !

There’s something about Day of Defeat that instantly pulls me back. The sound of distant gunfire, the push-and-pull of capture points, and those chaotic, close-knit team fights made every match feel like a story unfolding in real time. It wasn’t just a shooter—it felt like being dropped into a shared memory with strangers who quickly felt like teammates. Simple, tense, and endlessly replayable, it still holds that old-school charm that modern games just don’t quite replicate.
