#DAY OF DEFEAT SOURCE BEST MAPS PLUS#

And like Counter-Strike: Source, Day of Defeat: Source features some of the famous Half-Life 2 physics in the form of 'rag-doll' death animations for slain soldiers, plus barrels and crates that can be blown sky-high by explosions. As you might expect from the upgrade, Day of Defeat: Source looks much, much better than the original version of the game. Now with flying barrels, rag-doll animations, and improved lighting effects.Īnd now, Day of Defeat, like Counter-Strike, has been adapted for Valve Software's Source game engine-the same technology that powered Valve's award-winning 2004 shooter Half-Life 2. Yet despite its attempt to model realistic tactics, Day of Defeat was remarkably fast-paced, since it let players sprint in short bursts and since the maps generally took place in bombed-out battlefields where ruined houses, demolished bunkers, and trenches provided plenty of opportunities for vicious close-quarters combat.

Day of Defeat distinguished itself from other first-person shooters by offering highly realistic weapon modeling (including World War II-era automatic weapons with heavy kickback when fired) and team-oriented, objective-based gameplay. Both modifications went on to achieve plenty of popularity, and both were even snapped up by Half-Life developer Valve, thus becoming official Valve products that hit store shelves after their long runs as completely free online games.

The original Day of Defeat first saw the light of day as a fan-made modification using the original engine for 1998's Half-Life, just like another modification from around that time called Counter-Strike.
