Day of Defeat: Source is a remake of the online multiplayer WWII first-person shooter Day of Defeat on the Source engine. Similar to the original, players assume the role of light/assault/heavy infantry, sniper or machine-gunner class, and missions are based on historical operations. Unlike its predecessor however, the player can only choose the American Soldiers for the Allies (and not the British), and released vanilla maps only take place in France and Italy (and not Germany).

Day of Defeat: Source is a first non-tech demo Valve game to introduce HDR rendering and color correction.

Day of Defeat: Source currently runs on the Team Fortress 2 branch, since February 18, 2025.

Bots

Unlike Counter-Strike: Source or Left 4 Dead, Day of Defeat: Source does not have proper built-in bot support. While there are console commands to spawn and manipulate bots in the map, the resulting bots are only intended for debugging, and do not do anything besides run around randomly.

RCBot2 is a MetaMod plugin which adds proper bot support to DoD:S. Unlike CS_Bot and NextBot, RCBot2 does not use an automatically generated navmesh, and instead requires hand-placed waypoints. Nonetheless, the downloads for RCBot2 v1.5 and newer include waypoints for all vanilla maps and over 100 custom maps.

-==Gameplay==
+Day of Defeat: Source currently runs on the {{tf2branch|4}}, since February 18, 2025.
-===Map Types===
-:There are 2 gameplay modes that valvE has given DoD:S players to work with: Area Capture and Detonation.  There are however other gameplay types that work off these is a different manner to give a different gameplay type.  Some custom mappers think outside the box and have come up with Document Capture maps.
-====Area Capture====
+== Official maps ==
-:Area Capture maps are the most common in Day of Defeat Source, because they have been around since the very earliest versions of Day of Defeat.  Maps using this gameplay generally have 5 flags, but they can any number of flags.  Both teams objectives are to capture and hold all the flags at once to win.  To capture a flag, there must be a specific number of players in the capture zone for a specific period of time, without and enemy interference.  The number of players and time required is different from flag to flag.  If an enemy does come into the capture zone, then the player is rewarded with a defense point.  If that player then dies or leaves the area, the capture must restart completely.
+Day of Defeat: Source has the following official maps included:

-====Detonation====
+== Classes and weapons ==
-:Detonation maps were introduced to DoD:S after the [http://www.steampowered.com/index.php?area=news&archive=yes&id=668 June 28th Update].  In a detonation style map, players from the attacking team must get bombs, or satchel charges, from the bomb crates.  Once they have tnt, they can procede to a bomb target.  The player must hold his use key (generally "e" as default), until the bomb is planted.  If a player is killed while planting a bomb then the player who killed him is rewarded a defense point.  Once the bomb is planted, the team who planted the bomb must defend it until it explodes.  If a player from the defending team defuses the bomb, they are rewarded a defense point for defusing, and if the player is killed, then the player who killed him is rewarded a defense point for blocking the defuse.  Detonation maps can either have both teams on the offense with no timelimit, or one team attacking and the other defending with a timelimit.  If there is a timelimit, when it runs out the defending team wins.
+{| class=wikitable style=text-align:center
-====Document Capture====
-:Document Capture maps were thought out by PanFrie, and are not produced by valvE.  This gameplay mode is built off of the Detonation style maps.  The attacking team must get to wherever the "documents" are, which, because its based off of the detonations tyle maps, a bomb dispenser, and return to their own base with them.  Once they make it back to their base, they must plant the tnt somewhere.  Once the tnt blows up, the "documents" are "captured" and the attacking team wins, or at least takes a flag.
