I've played DoD longer than just about anyone, since I ran the largest Counter-Strike community at the time of the first beta. The creative young'guns teens who introduced the game were pretty immature at the time, but they figured out how I can lay down, whereas cliffie and goose never figured that one out in CS :)

It could have ended up a better game than it stands today, but it still is a fun game to play.The development team didn't listen much to us [CoFR]Crusty old Fossil Rockers, and the weapons balance ended up off-kilter. That said, I am a life-long gamer who plays lots of other games, but I return to DoD and the HL1 engine because I have a few friends I've played DoD with for a long time, and I like the net-code for the most part.

I recommend this game, especially to the new gamer who wants to learn how to use teamwork as part of a small squad. Servers now are few and far between, so I thought I'd write a review before its demise. heheh

One of the best skill-based and highly technical WW2 shooters out there. Bullets kill people if you hit, the automatics need solid mouse control and grenades are very very precise. Also far more classes, weapons and an extra faction compared to the watered-down source version. It's also really fun to mod.

Even to this day, DoD 1.6 remains as one of the most enjoyable games I've ever played. I has this awesome charm to it that keeps on giving. I'm a sucker for WWII games but trust me when I say THIS GAME IS ENJOYABLE AS HELL. Give it a shot! Heck, it's only 5 bucks!

This game brings back so many memories. If you're a fan of simple WWII multiplayer shooters, this is a must buy. For the price, it's totally worth it, it's just a shame that not many people play it anymore. But you can install the bot mod, still gives it the multiplayer effect.

While I haven't had the luxury of a better computer to play the Source edition, this is arguably the funnest WWII FPS game I've played. There's a nice selection of weapons, although I do wish they had included the Russians so you could use the PPSH41 and Mosin Nagant. This personal nitpick aside I highly recommend it to those who haven't played it. It doesn't even look that dated either. 4/5

This is a great game for all WWII genre fans. There are only a couple of servers but they all have a good amount of people playing on them. People stratigze with thier team and are serious about the game.

10/10

One of the best ive ever played, and worth it for only 5 dollars.
