Nope, standalone, I'm almost positive.

Good price, but there are a lot of games that do what DoD does, but better. Graphics are pretty tasty, but really, that's about it.

 

[Treyshadow]

yes its stand alone. Good price with some very fun maps. Though I like BF2 better it is worth it just to play a few rounds with friends.

 

[duragezic]

This is hot. Easily the best $10 game I can think of.

 

[weezerdude]

Dod for 10 bucks is great!

 

[Stangs55]

I was as well. I knew once it came out retail someone would have it cheaper.

[Inspector Jihad]

[Winchester]

What is the different between the Day of Defeat and Day of Defeat Source? I have the former.

 

[DarkForceRising]

Day of Defeat Source is a complete overhaul built on the Source engine, which powers Half-life 2. The upshot is that everything looks nicer, moves nicer, and requires a higher power computer than Day of Defeat.

:Q

Was hesitant to buy it from Valve for $20 but for $10 I'm in.

I have 3 questions:
1) How long will the deal last? Thru this Saturday?
2) How does DOD:S compare with COD2, both in game play and graphic visual displays?
3) Is it a Multiplayer-online game only?
Thanks

 

[duragezic]

1) No clue
2) I've played both and since DoD:S is multiplayer only its a little harder to compare. Visually, COD2 has an edge due to immersive environments but DoD:S has the very clean looking like CS:S. Basically think CS:S-style visuals and gameplay but with WW2 levels, models, etc... As far as overall multiplayer vs. COD2, well it totally kicks its ass. Its much better than COD1 which I thought had a little better mplayer than 2 (but stilll not anywhere near DoD:S mplayer). To get the best of both worlds its like you need to buy COD2 for its killer single player campaign but DoD:S for lasting and hella fun multiplayer.

1) Weekly sale, until COB Saturday.
2) Haven't played COD2, but visually DOD:S is nice, but is really just a prettied up version of the old one. For $10 it's worth it, but COD2 has the "bonus" of a single player mode. DOD:S can get old fast, but is easy to pick up again only a week later.
3) Yes.

I agree with your assessment

Damn! I just bought this over steam after the free weekend for $20. It was worth it though. Before that I was playing CS:S and had become pretty tired of it and its players. On the whole DoD:S seems to have a much better team focus and a more mature player base so far. The levels are really pretty cool imo, they're more like the later more complicated CS:S maps like inferno, militia, nuke, port in their quality then the quick in dirty ports like dust and dust2. There's not a lot of official maps yet though.

For $10 I'd say its a great buy with out a doubt.

 

[Devistater]

My brother bought this for $20 (I already had the full steam package). Oh well.

BTW, I hated DoD original, but I love DoD S. Dunno why. I've almost stopped playing CS and CS S, I like DoD S so much.

 

[Smackattack]

I was a big dod guy in the past. I bought HL2 at retail and was miffed that valve didnt offer a $10 upgrade to silver level for retail buyers(which would have included HL1:source as well. I really wanted DOD:S, but paying $20 for it alone just stuck in my craw.
I played on the free weekend and glad i didnt jump at $20. Its well made and all, but after playing a lot of Battlefield and especially bf2, its just not the same.
Still, you cant beat $10 at this point if you havent tried it before. you cant go wrong at that price.

 

[Glavinsolo]

Got mine.
