Summary
Day of Defeat : Source (DoD: Source) is the latest version of the WWII online action game from Valve. Players join the ranks as Axis or Allied troops located in Western Europe during the height of the war in 1944. Gamers select a unique player class - which includes everything from scouts to sharpshooters - as they are tasked as a unit to complete historically accurate missions and goals unique to each battlefield.
DoD: Source uses the hugely impressive Source engine technology (the same Valve created for Half-Life 2 and its next generation of games) and as such offers state of the art graphics with optimised versions of popular maps and all new player, weapon and world models, plus support for HDR lighting.
Players choose from a wide selection of playable character classes, including snipers, infantry, machine-gunners and more. There is an impressively wide range of true-to-life World War II Weapons such as the Allies' M1 Carbine and the Axis' Mauser Karbiner 98K sniper rifle, an SS knife and more.
DoD: Source really is multi-player gaming at its best – and with built-in support for voice communication, players can speak and interact with other squad members as they coordinate attacks, discuss tactics, warn each other of incoming enemies or just hold casual conversation. An easy to read HUD displays critical information such as objective status, ammunition and other key in-game support.
