Day of Defeat game information..

Day of Defeat is a World War II multiplayer total conversion of "Half-life." DoD attempts to recreate WWII battles in both fictional and non-fictional environments. DoD puts you in the shoes (rather, combat boots!) of either an Allied or Axis soldier circa 1944, Western Europe.

Day of Defeat is a class based first person shooter - upon arrival in game, you will have the choice to play different types of soldiers - from Rifleman to Machinegunners, to Snipers. Each class has its own mix of special abilities and weapons.

The overall goal of the game depends upon the map - whether it be to capture an area, defend a beach, or simply destroy the enemy. The 10 maps included with Day of Defeat will give players endless hours of replayability online. With a selection of nearly 20 weapons, players will have something new to try every time they play.

Best of all, Day of Defeat is a free download. Anyone with a copy of either Half-Life or Counter-Strike Retail can play. Day of Defeat is an ever-evolving game. We believe that DoD Beta 2 is at an early stage in it's life - there are many more maps, weapons, and classes to come. So for now, grab your helmet and rifle and prepare for the most immersive World War 2 game to date!
