{{dod|4}} ({{dod|3|nt=0}} for short) is a game where players enlists in an intense brand of Axis vs. Allied team play set in France, Italy, Germany and Netherlands during the tail end of WWII. Players assume the role of light/assault/heavy infantry, sniper or machine-gunner class, each with a unique arsenal of historical weaponry at their disposal; missions are based on key historical operations; and as war rages on, players must work together with their squad to accomplish a variety of mission-specific objectives.


{{dod}} Enlist in an intense brand of Axis vs. Allied teamplay set in the WWII European Theatre of Operations. Players assume the role of light/assault/heavy infantry, sniper or machine-gunner class, each with a unique arsenal of historical weaponry at their disposal. Missions are based on key historical operations. And, as war rages, players must work together with their squad to accomplish a variety of mission-specific objectives.
Like {{cs|1}}, {{dod|3}} started out as an unofficial {{gldsrc|4}} mod before being picked up by Valve for a commercial release. It later received a {{src|4}} remake entitled {{dods|4}} ({{dods|3|nt=1}} for short), which added enhancements such as [[HDR]] lighting, physics, new weapons, and updated versions of classic maps.


Much like {{game name|cs|name=Counter-Strike}}, Day of Defeat started out as a mod and later received a Source update entitled {{game name|dods|name=Day of Defeat: Source}}; while featuring similar gameplay, Day of Defeat: Source added graphical enhancements, [[HDR]] lighting, physics, new weapons, and updated versions of classic maps.

Day of Defeat Day of Defeat (DoD for short) is a game where players enlists in an intense brand of Axis vs. Allied team play set in France, Italy, Germany and Netherlands during the tail end of WWII. Players assume the role of light/assault/heavy infantry, sniper or machine-gunner class, each with a unique arsenal of historical weaponry at their disposal; missions are based on key historical operations; and as war rages on, players must work together with their squad to accomplish a variety of mission-specific objectives.

Like Counter-Strike, Day of Defeat started out as an unofficial GoldSrc GoldSrc mod before being picked up by Valve for a commercial release. It later received a Source Source remake entitled Day of Defeat: Source Day of Defeat: Source (DoD:S for short), which added enhancements such as HDR lighting, physics, new weapons, and updated versions of classic maps.
