The BEST World War 2 game you probably forgot about...

  • A really good World War 2 game that died very quickly :(
    Day of Defeat was a Half-Life mod that evolved into its own game, and with a source sequel. It was quite the success back in 2003, but was criticized for copying battlefield since it came a few months after. Despite that, loads of people played it and liked it. However, it was short lived, and quickly died, almost being forgotten by everyone. Of course, there are a few people playing it, but nowhere near the number back in 2003. Shame.

      Too long.
      This game has a serious lack of shotguns and I'm really trying to get them over to TF2.
      But we played DOD a ton back in the day then went to DODS. It can be fun but also very snipey. The guns feel kind of weird and really think the game would be better off with shotguns.

But during development they decided it would make for a better experience if they go for the comic-look and fast gameplay we now today. TF2 is a cool game, but i think it would be interesting to see what kind of game it could have been if they had sticked with their plan.

    I used to be apart of a realism unit back in DoD:S, way back in 2014.. We were called the First Special Service Force or the FSSF. Later called the 70th Infantry Division or the 70th ID. We were run by a Vietnam vet who called himself Seadog. Probably my best years in gaming were in that unit, I loved everything about it, the camaraderie, the friendships, the discipline, the loyalty. Unfortunately the unit disbanded I believe in 2019 or 18.. Can't remember, I'm proud to be apart of Seadog's command for those 7-8 years. Never forgot this game, never will! :)

    I used to love DoD:S but I was a little late to it - I remember my dad playing on the Battle for Europe campaign servers every weekend and swearing like a pirate. Each battle was pre-arranged, the teams had tactics worked out on their forums, the results meant that the frontline on Europe would move backwards or forwards, and it was super serial.
    I miss him.
    P.S. The first day Source was out, I remember he got blown up by a grenade, throwing him into the air, where his ragdoll hit a bazooka, that then blew him into a bathtub. We laughed and laughed like hyenas.

    The thing I remember the most about this game is how snipers and MG's were limited to 2 per team at most so you didn't had half of your team humping a hill with an score of 2 - 1 at the end of the match and MG's were actually terryfing to confront face to face.

    Not gonna lie, dod was one of the best games I‘ve ever played. You were able to cook grenades, were able to pick up grenades and throw them back and guns actually did a decent amount of damage. So a Kar98 was a one shot kill (best weapon in the game) and the mg42 was rattling through everything. There were high up positions for snipers as well as holes in the floor where you could hide. Overall a fantastic game for it‘s time. The source version sucked though.

    I'll go ahead and quip in my thoughts.
    I used to be part of the community that beta tested the releases of the GoldSrc port and a very early version of DoD:S. The community itself was rather large for the time and even rivaled the budding CoD community.
    There were 4 sides to select but only 2 per time. Depending on the map you got the Allied (American/British) vs Axis (Regular/Paratroopers). Main differences were mainly in the weapons type. Rocket class wasn't added in during the initial 1.0 version but in a later revision. Rockets were meant mainly for demolition rather than enemy elimination.
    There were some major changes when DoD:Source came out. The British and Axis Paratroopers were removed along with several redundant weaponry. Other weapons were given to the rocket class for better defense. M1 Carbine for the Allies and the C96 Mauser for the Axis. Weapon mechanics were changed as well. Iron sighting for the rifles, select fire for the support class, sniper reloading rounds one by one instead of via stripper clip.

You got hell let loose and post scriptum with their gunplay and then you got a classic day of defeat with a gunplay better than those. (Im MG main btw maybe thats why)

    I think of 2 best WW2 games in casual and realistic, Day of Defeat/Source for casual and Red Orchestra 2 for realism. I had so much fun in DoD:S even just by playing in 1 server.

    Nothing beats rushing home at the age of 13, to hop on with the bois, onto a modded 60 player count massive DoD:source map and just experience the utter CHAOS that was war, with machinegun fire peppering over head and snipers holding every angle you could imagen while trying to capture the points in the middle of it all.
    I'll crack a cold one to that!

    I despise online games, but this one I have so much nostalgia which will never be replicated. Steam said I have 2,400 hrs on it, but I feel it must have been 3,000hrs at least. I played DODS between it's release and up till almost mid-2010s.
    What got me hooked was the whole "realism" gameplay, or realism mod, so it's not part of the standard game. It pitches the two teams against each other, instead of capture the flag, it's about search and destroy, or elimination. The last standing team wins. There is no respawn so if you die you are out of that round. First you load the realism mod, then the admin pick a leader for each team. The leader takes turn picking which players he wants to be in this team. The first few picks are always the best players. It's a three round match, each team take turn being the defender or attacker. Defender stays on their side of the map and can't cross into enemy territory. When the realism round start, there is like a 5-10 minutes prep time where no one can shoot, the team leader hand out weapons to individual players and the defending team set up a defensive parameter. Normally, each team are only allowed 0-1 MG, 1 sniper, 1 rocket, 1-2 auto, the rest are rifles. Only the best players get the sniper rifle. When the round start, you don't just rush out to the other side of the map or you will be killed immediately. The approach is slow and careful. The attacking team will try to use alternative paths to get to the other side of the map and goes behind the back of the defending team. Only your own team can hear your voice communication, so there would be a lot of communication about the enemies location. There are other tactics like camping in a house and moving furniture to block the door or stairway, or pushing furniture to a certain location to use as cover, although some mods frown upon it. Sometimes on a big map, one of these realism round could last an hour long, and it would usually be down to two players left from opposite teams, trying to seek out each other. It can get pretty tense when you're the last guy alive left in team.
    Usually realism only happen later at night when all the usual guys gets together, and it go on until early morning 2-3am when people started leaving for bed. For a short period of time in my life realism was my life, it would be going to work during the day, then log on each night to play realism. There were a lot of different realism clans at the peak. What really killed the whole scene overtime were guys using hacks (see through walls), toxicity building up, and the interesting old timers who held the clans together leaving or the server maintainers quit, in combination of this very specific generation of gamer growing up and had to work or go to college. And a lot of them were I should say down in luck and joining the army. The peak of the realism was probably around the early 2010s. There might be some realism still going today, but it's very minimal.
    There was one famous character in the realism scene that anyone who played during that golden time knows. DeBlanc [505th PIR], he was a Louisiana Cajun cop, probably retired now I'm guessing. The dude is an old timer and a real character, very raspy voice, would come online drunk a lot of times. He would keep the mood upbeat for everybody in the server. It was always the usual guys you play with each night, so at times it was very fun just chatting about life and what you're up to.
    It was a very unique experience for its time, gaming has moved on now and doesn't have the same feel, different generation of gamers as well.

    Gun game is pretty fun in DoD Source, played it a few times. Also, this game had zombie mode just like Counter-Strike but it wasn't big enough and it was ran by a small community called TheVille ORG.
    The first GoldSrc game was ok, even though I only played it with bots because it's the only way to fully try it out.
    Both were good games but we're overshadowed massively.

    Finally, someone brings up this classic hidden gem of Valve. Man, had the WW2 shooter market not been so oversaturated by the end of the mid 2000s, this franchise could've gotten its own Global Offensive.
    Also, you can b-hop in DoD:S, it's very different from traditional b-hopping and requires a lot more timing and precision.

    • @BonJoviBeatlesLedZep
      @BonJoviBeatlesLedZep 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I think if any other company owned the IP (except maybe Epic or Ubisoft), it would already have happened regardless. Valve just doesn't make games anymore unless they push some tech forward or do something BIG (Dota Underlords is the exception lol)

  • @mushieslushie

    It's interesting looking back at these games in the final form, but I played them while they were still mods and being developed. There was so many maps that came and went, and also when the bazooka was first introduced, some of the maps had different paths that you could only access once you blew up a wall or whatever with the bazooka. One map had a latter to a sniper next that you could only get to once you blew up something so you could access the ladder. DoD was a super fun game and it's time may be over but it would be cool in Valve did something with it in the fiture.

    Great memories watching this video. I think that I started playing this game at its beginnings. It used to be fantastic. It would have the speed and frenzy as CS, but in a WWII environment. I would play for a clan and we even played the European DoD championship (we came last since my team would desert mid-game).
    In my personal opinion the downfall of this game was when they started to adjust the recoil of the weapons, the mussel flash and really poor design for new maps implemented with updates. I believe that Valve was not really interested in making this game a success because there was, probably, a fierce competence with BattleField and Wolfenstein.
    Great video man, and thanks for the smile after watching the video.

    I played it SO much. I loved the immersive maps ( too bad updates of the original DoD notonly added maps, ... but also deleted some.. :( ).
    The sound and ambient was amazing, I found. It also helps I live in Belgium and lots of the old maps actually look like the old towns here, or the Ardennes.
    I'm sad to see it go. I've recently played it a bit and it's either fully tricked out 'fun' maps or AIM maps with players with inhuman reaction and aim.
    Luckily I found my jazz with Red Orchestra 2 after this, DoD:S also kept me busy untill Infamy came along, but it's not the same...
