Unleash your inner Hitler. NEIN NEIN NEIN NEIN NEIN NEIN NEIN NEIN NEIN NEIN NEIN NEIN How this is Valve's neglected underdog I have no idea, never heard of DoD a day in my life until I saw the Valve bundle, gave it a shot and it blew me away. There are already so many army games out there, COD, Battlefield, Arma, a whole list more, yet Day of Defeat still somehow manages to stand unrivaled as a unique and insanely fun experience. Class-based teamfights set in an enormous list of maps, just you and your wits, no vehicles, no fancy gadgets, no nothing... against them. Props for realistic damage, you don't absorb bullets like a sponge, you die quickly just like that, not like other games where you can soak up an entire mag and brush it off, and oh my, the maps are so messy with many hiding spots, an enemy could come from anywhere. That combined with the fact that you die easily really sets a subconscious panic to be on red alert 100% of the time. That's what I imagine an actual war to be like. What an absolute gem. Still holds up today if you aren't nitpicky about older graphics, and Sturmbot is a thorough mod that allows for singleplayer if you're up for an offline game like I am, and the bots are no joke, they're as much of a ruthless threat as regular players are. 10/10

Enjoyable game just two teams fighting each other no vehicles just skills. Normally has one full server and the community are just nice people wanting to enjoy an old game. I think this game will still be played in the 10 years time.

Far from the most famous game from such a well-known company as Valve. This is a fairly simple action game, usually with the aim of capturing all enemy control points. The game features weapons and maps inspired by the locations of real World War II battles. First of all, I would like to draw attention to the fact that there are no official servers in the game, only player servers. We also immediately notice one of the most basic problems of the game - the extremely low number of online players. The screenshot below was taken in the evening, but even at this time there is only one almost completely filled server. In the morning and afternoon, the situation is even more deplorable. After logging on to the server, players are invited to choose a team, as well as one of five roles, each of which differs in the main weapon and additional equipment. During the game, another difference from other games of this genre immediately becomes noticeable - a strong uncontrolled recoil. To hit the enemy, you will need to shoot either single rounds or small bursts. There are several other strange solutions here, namely the extremely low speed while moving in aiming mode, as well as the need to wait 10 seconds after each death, which is very exhausting for every beginner who has just bought a game and is not used to its mechanics. Well, it's worth mentioning the graphics, which, in my opinion, are not the worst for the year of its release, 2010, but also not the best. In any case, both the price of the project and its system requirements are quite low, so anyone can get to know it, and thanks to the rather friendly audience of the game, you will have quite good impressions about it. โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–„โ–„โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘ โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–ˆโ–‘โ–‘โ–ˆโ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘ โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–ˆโ–‘โ–‘โ–ˆโ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘ โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–ˆโ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–ˆโ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘ โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–ˆโ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–ˆโ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘ โ–ˆโ–ˆโ–ˆโ–ˆโ–ˆโ–ˆโ–„โ–„โ–ˆโ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–ˆโ–ˆโ–ˆโ–ˆโ–ˆโ–ˆโ–„โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘ โ–“โ–“โ–“โ–“โ–“โ–“โ–ˆโ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–ˆโ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘ โ–“โ–“โ–“โ–“โ–“โ–“โ–ˆโ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–ˆโ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘ โ–“โ–“โ–“โ–“โ–“โ–“โ–ˆโ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–ˆโ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘ โ–“โ–“โ–“โ–“โ–“โ–“โ–ˆโ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–ˆโ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘ โ–“โ–“โ–“โ–“โ–“โ–“โ–ˆโ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–ˆโ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘ โ–“โ–“โ–“โ–“โ–“โ–“โ–ˆโ–ˆโ–ˆโ–ˆโ–ˆโ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–ˆโ–ˆโ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘ โ–ˆโ–ˆโ–ˆโ–ˆโ–ˆโ–€โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–€โ–€โ–ˆโ–ˆโ–ˆโ–ˆโ–ˆโ–ˆโ–ˆโ–ˆโ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘ โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘ โ•”โ•โ•โ•โ•โ•—โ–‘โ–‘โ•”โ•โ•โ•โ•โ•—โ•”โ•โ•โ•โ•—โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘ โ•‘โ–ˆโ–ˆโ–ˆโ–ˆโ•‘โ–‘โ–‘โ•‘โ–ˆโ–ˆโ–ˆโ–ˆโ•‘โ•‘โ–ˆโ–ˆโ–ˆโ• โ•โ•โ•โ•ฆโ•โ•โ•โ•โ•โ•— โ•šโ•—โ–ˆโ–ˆโ•”โ•โ–‘โ–‘โ•šโ•—โ–ˆโ–ˆโ•”โ•ฉโ•ฃโ–ˆโ–ˆโ• โ•โ–ˆโ–ˆโ–ˆโ•‘โ–ˆโ–ˆโ–ˆโ–ˆโ–ˆโ•‘ โ–‘โ•‘โ–ˆโ–ˆโ•‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ•‘โ–ˆโ–ˆโ•‘โ•”โ•โ–ˆโ–ˆโ•‘โ–ˆโ–ˆโ–ˆโ•”โ•ฃโ–ˆโ–ˆโ•โ•โ•ฆโ• โ–‘โ•‘โ–ˆโ–ˆโ•‘โ•”โ•โ•โ•—โ•‘โ–ˆโ–ˆโ•‘โ•‘โ–ˆโ–ˆโ–ˆโ–ˆโ–ˆโ–ˆโ•โ•ฃโ•‘โ–ˆโ–ˆโ–ˆโ–ˆโ•‘ โ•”โ•โ–ˆโ–ˆโ•šโ•โ–ˆโ–ˆโ• โ•โ–ˆโ–ˆโ•šโ•ฌโ•โ–ˆโ–ˆโ•‘โ–ˆโ–ˆโ–ˆโ•šโ•ฃโ–ˆโ–ˆโ•โ•โ•ฉโ•— โ•‘โ–ˆโ–ˆโ–ˆโ–ˆโ–ˆโ–ˆโ–ˆโ•‘โ–ˆโ–ˆโ–ˆโ–ˆโ•‘โ–ˆโ–ˆโ–ˆโ–ˆโ•‘โ–ˆโ–ˆโ–ˆโ•‘โ–ˆโ–ˆโ–ˆโ–ˆโ–ˆโ•‘ โ•šโ•โ•โ•โ•โ•โ•โ•โ•ฉโ•โ•โ•โ•โ•ฉโ•โ•โ•โ•โ•โ•โ•โ•โ•ฉโ•โ•โ•โ•โ•โ•
