Day of Defeat: Source

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