Synopsis
Day of Defeat: Source is Valve's online team shooter set in the Second World War, with American and German squads fighting over capture points on European maps. Players pick one of six classes, from rifleman to sniper and machine gunner, and win by holding objectives as a team.
Reception
Critics in 2005 praised the remake's visuals, its weighty recoil and the way it rewards staying with your squad, while noting the small number of maps at launch; it holds a PC Metascore of 80. Later updates added more maps and modes. On Steam it sits at Very Positive, and recent players still call it a simple, satisfying classic with populated servers. Some returning fans of the original mod miss the British team and find the American weapons stronger.
