Gameplay
By joining the server, the player chooses a team to play with: Allies or the Wehrmacht (German Forces). After that, you should choose a class, those available are: Riflemen, Assault, Reinforcement, Snipers, Machine guns or Rockets. Some servers may limit the number of players from each class, usually to prevent the abuse of snipers or machine guns. Once the player has the class starts at a predetermined point of the map, and must fight for control of objectives. If he dies, must wait for the next wave of reinforcements to return to battle. The player also has the option to change classes while waiting for reinforcements.
Compared with other FPS, Day of Defeat: Source allows the player only a small amount of life , thus when being hit by a single shot may result in death specially in the head. That's why the players should be covered with each other and use teamwork to achieve victory.
The graphics and sounds of the game have been influenced by the film Saving Private Ryan.
In conclusion.
This is a very interesting WWII game for all war game fans.
