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 leverages the Source engine technology, the same Valve created for Half-Life 2 and its next generation of games. With this technology, DoD: Source offers state of the art graphics with optimized versions of popular maps and all new player, weapon and world models, plus support for HDR lighting.

In addition, Source provides advanced sound technology to provide a more immersive soundscape and integrated physics simulation technology for ragdolls and physically simulated objects throughout each map.
