GAMEPLAY:
As I play more of DoD:S, I find it more enjoyable. The more you play, the more accustomed to the gameplay and the maps become more familiar. My favorite game mode is where you try to destroy the other team's defenses. I like this because it involves a higher lever of planning and synchronization between teammates. The levels in the game seem to be just the right size. There is never an empty area; every part of the map is involved in some sort of action.
DESIGN:
I think the graphics, realistic effects, and class mechanics make DoD:S a good game. Since the original installment, DoD:S has been moved to the Source Engine. This is a big upgrade to the graphics. The environment looks more realistic. The effects of DoD:S model those of the real world. Explosions and bullet fire all react as if it was real. Most of the environment (signs, barrels, tables, and chairs) is destructable and shows bullet holes if fired into. I also like the different soldier classes in the game. Each soldier's strengths and weaknesses are balaced out by other members of the team which means that teamwork is essential for success. Since DoD:S is strictly multiplayer, the game relies heavily on interaction between players. Chatting and even voice communication is widely used during matches.

SUMMARY:
Day of Defeat: Source is a first-person shooter that is set during World War 2. It is strictly multiplayer. In the game, you are able to play as the U.S. Army or the German Wehrmacht. Each team is made up of soldiers from six unique classes. Each class has a unique set of weapons that is vital to the teams' success There are two main game modes. One mode is a standard Capture the Flag game mode. The other mode is centered around the destruction of the opposing team's various vehicles and defenses.
GAMEPLAY:
I felt that while Day of Defeat: source (DoD:s) is fun to play, it is no real different than any other first-person WWII based multiplayer game. This game is simple to play and enjoyable for hours but fails to bring anything unique and outstanding to the world of WWII FPS games. DoD:S is one of those games that you can play when you have an hour of free time and need something fun to do.
Playing with the different classes and weapons is fun. Each class seems to have certain strengths and weaknesses that makes
a player's strategy important.
