Day of Defeat
Hey friend just told me about this on msn messenger.. although the home site for it is seriouly lacking..
any info .. might buy it this weekend.. a free to play game.. i love 1st person shooter.. but im giving up the delta force series cuz of too many cheaters.. although Team Killers seem sick and wrong.. still looks like a good game. comments wanted plz |
DoD is a mod for Half-life and is a lot of fun, I think. Team killers aren't that much of a problem usually, just find a good server to play on. Servers that are completely uncontrolled tend to attract them, but many servers have options for votekicking and banning players that cause trouble. So you don't have to buy it... last time I checked.
|
Yeah, downloadable at ...various sites.
|
If you have HalfLife and a fast connection just d/l it and save yourself $30 bucks.
I personally haven't played the since 1.4 beta but it was a fun game overall and from everything I've seen it has gotten much better since back then. Have to check it out again for myself one of these days. |
I'm not really a fan I get a headache after playing a while, like most FPS except CS though :)
|
yeah .. thats cool..
i dont have halflife nor dose the local stores in hickville here have it.. gonna have to buy dod.. ive found several places to download it.. but i still think you gotta have the halflife to use it.. |
I recommend it if you want a good online shooter...its well paced and a ton of fun to play...team killing isnt a problem as most servers kick them really fast and I rarely run into cheaters on DOD...i play it all the time
|
its a very good game, but i always find myself going back to bf1942 cause of the vehicles
|
yeah dod is pretty fun...for another WWII game try enemy territory - based on the return to castle wolfenstein engine and a free download

DOD is shit. lol, if you want a realistic war game try BF1942.
|
It's pretty good, but prepare for a pretty steep learning curve and dying a lot (a LOT) in the beginning if you're going to play. It is more realistic than say, battlefield 1942, and has no vehicles. But it's a well made mod and good fun.

BF1942 looks nicer than DoD but please don't call it realistic. |
DoD doesnt have any vehicles, but the actual person to person fighting in DoD is far superior than in BF.....I just like BF because of the vehicles.
|
BF1942 is such a lame arse game.
Its so random. And it makes me sick to think so many fools out there then go buy all the sequals which are essentially just mods for the game. Any one who knows anything about modding could make them. And then ppl say that gaming companies arent making enuff quality titles etc. Even tho it has a massive following bf1942 is a very inferior game in ways of its relative realism ( I said relative, dont say "go play raven shield" or something) its single player component, its gameplay and over all coding. Dod on the other hand is FREE if u own the original half life but if you don't you can buy it seperately now as a retail product just like CS. Its a lot of fun. |

Its the greatest teamplay computer game ever made. Great for clans. TKs aren't a problem if you find a server with an anti TK script or a non-friendly fire server. The maps aren't that great in 1.0 though and still many issues I'm hoping 1.1 will fix. I've never tired of DoD. Huge custom maps community keeps it interesting. |
DOD is a good game, worth the $30
|
I wouldn't buy the retail DoD... just buy Half-life and then download the DoD mod, it's exactly the same and you also get to play HL, and CS, and any other mod that comes out for HL
|
I like it a lot, but it's way too easy for me to kick ass. Usually I get bored midgame (especially on avalanche). On avalanche, as an Axis soldier, I find it high comedy to wait patiently with my shovel next to the entrance of the first building by the allies (the one that leads to the window that oversees their first flag and the middle), then cracking some skulls. It's so funny when they're clueless. I've taken out entire rows using just my sprint key and my shovel with that method.
|
I actually play both DoD and BF1942. In BF1942, there is more variety in vehicles and you can fly in the air. That really adds another dimension. However, the community in BF1942 is not the greatest. It will take you some time to find a nice mature server. DoD is a great game. That was my dose of WW2 before BF1942, although Medal of Honor was also a great game. Play both DoD and BF1942 for multiplayer fun :D
|
I also would like to recommend you playing Day of Defeat. Me and a couple of friends play it almost every night. Although there are a couple of annoyances with the Half Life engine, we generally have a blast playing it.
Also, Battlefield 1942 was never meant to be a realistic game. They may market it like that, but I didn't pay attention to the box that came with the game. BF1942 is a game for silliness and/or intense vehicular action. <- Don't quote me on that. :D Tank, meet Mr. Jeep. Kablooie! |
This DoD game sounds pretty good. I might have to go and check it out.
|
DoD is awsome other than the fact that u get snipe'd from every angle and u gotta lear there those bastards hide
|
Phucking awp camping phaggot Lolz!!11!
|
get the most basic halflife 4 like $10, than download the mods
Hint: www.3dgamers.com is just like fileplanet/shack but theres no waits |
DOD is a great mod...its an entirely different class than BF1942...this one is squad-based and team work is essential. Also, the voice capabilities work well with the game if you have a mic
|
Yes as most said if you already have half life just download the mod....same game.....just cheaper....the retail version is just dod on top of hl. It's a nice game....it does have some flaws but it way way way better than counterstrike by far. Like having gun sway and realistic hit boxes. We should start a tfp clan :)
|
I played it when the mod first came out.
Battlefield 1942 is much better Imo.Planes+Tanks and Jeeps ~ |
Even if you do end up trying, and perfering BF1942, the original half-life is very cheap. With tons of mods like CS and DoD, there really isn't any reason not to own it.
If your local town doesn't have it, I'm sure you can order in online. |
I've been playing DOD since it's conception. It's a solid infantry combat action game. To me though, it's far from realistic. It feels more like Counter-Strike than anything else. I'm a big fan, but I'd like to see a more realistic approach to infantry combat. One game in particular that I'm watching is Resistance and Liberation for Half-Life 2. They have some great material up on their website, and their ideas sound solid. I think the url is www.resistanceandliberation.com.
I wouldn't buy DOD retail, not worth the $30 if you ask me. You're not getting much for that price, especially when you can download it for free. You're not losing anything either. If you don't have half-life, you can buy it for about $10 and download DOD. That would be a great value. |
When it comes wether you should play BF1942 or DoD, It just depends on what you feel like doing during WWII. DoD is great for the gamer that wants to get his hands on a ton of WWII infantry weapons. The selection of infantry weapons is what i love about that game. Plus it has my favorite: the scoped FG42 paratrooper rifle. I don't care about what they say about that weapon, I still kick ass with it in glider.
BF1942 only has 3 weapons for each team, all similar or the same in some way. But the vehicles and huge landscapes makes up for more than that. I love the strategy aspect of attacking and defending bases. I prefer holding bases. |

1.3 was when dod truly ruled. Lots of nice effects in the latest game but 1.3 had the play right (aside from the overpowered garand). |
|
this is why i still enjoy playing dod

Man I love DoD I used to skip high school and play it all day long
|
Buy HL2: Silver or Gold, DL DoD mod, then when DoD:Source is out you can play that too. This method will dave you a ton of money. I still frequent the DoD Forums and the consensus is that retail isnt worth it. Buy HL then dl DOD...
|
I happened to have just played DoD today. It is a very good game. It came with my Half-Life Platinum Pack thing. I play it occassionally but I usually play CS.
Btw, does anyone know how to make the user text bigger in game? Mine is too small to read. |
Never liked Day of Defeat, I'm more of a Forgotten Hope (BF1942 Mod) type of guy.
|
Im addicted to the game, since I just discovered it 6 months ago.
I find it sweet to be the girl whooping everyones ass. My name is LadyDeath, see if you can poon me baby. |
DoD was one of the best FPS. Though i dont think it held up over the years its still fun'
