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.

Key features

  • Choose Your Own Class – Players choose from a wide selection of playable character classes, including snipers, infantry, machine-gunners, and more.
  • True-To-Life World War II Weapons – Gamers have access to historical weaponry and items used in WWII such as the Allies' M1 Carbine and the Axis' Mauser Karbiner 98K sniper rifle, an SS knife and more.
  • Multi-Player At Its Best – 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.
  • Highly detailed environments provide amazing gameplay settings.
  • Physical Gameplay: Objects obey the laws of gravity, friction, and buoyancy.

    Estimated Release Date: February 2006
