Day of Defeat Half-Life Mod Released

Posted by simoniker on from the achtung-spitfiren dept.

alwsn writes "The greatly anticipated Half-Life mod Day of Defeat has just had v1.0 released. This is an amazing World War Two team-based mod, and there's a stand-alone retail release on May 6th. DoDHQ has a good list of mirrors - also, here's a BitTorrent link. Keep those file windows open once you finish downloading." Thanks to many submitters for pointing this out. Please note that you need a retail version of either Half-Life or Counterstrike to run this downloadable version, although, as mentioned above, the retail box will be a stand-alone title.

  1. Be nice to the new people... by alwsn · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I've been playing Day of Defeat for the past 2 or so years, since 1.0b and have greatly enjoyed watching my favorite mod grow into what it is today.

    I know one of the biggest problems Counter-Strike player and its community encountered when CS when retail was the flood of new, clueless people to forums and servers. I've already seen inumerous people who don't have a clue about DoD on servers.

    If you happen to run into somone new like this, don't shout 'n00b' at them, help them out. If they ask a question, give them a quick answer. Yes, you might die when you're typing out the response, but it's only a death. We were all new to the game once, and helping out people when they need it will help keep the strong community DoD is known for.
