Day of Defeat is a World War 2 first person shooter mod for half life.
History
Day of Defeat has had many beta testing before coming a popular mod. There were versions v1.0 beta - v3.1 beta. Before the release of Day of Defeat retail. The differences with the earlier releases were that axis sniper rifle was semi-automatic, no butt smacks, no grenades pick ups, no British, no type of rocket launchers and no bipod on BAR.
The retail version had the butt smacks, the British, single shot axis sniper rifle, grenade pick ups, bipod on the BAR and you were able to find a bazooka.
Day of Defeat now goes through the program called Steam. To play this mod you need a half life cd-key or day of defeat cd-key!
Here are all the weapons
Allies (American)
This is a shot of the model of the US soldier. Some may be different due to their class.
Garand
8 Round clip
Approx Damage 90-100
This weapon is a hit and miss. It can fire more rounds per second than the k98 but doesnt always kill in one shot. It has some recoil to it and takes time getting used to.
Garand Butt Smack
Approx Damage 65-100
Ah dont we love being evil. Doesnt always kill in one but when you low on ammo a butt smack is great!
Carbine
20 round clip
Approx Damage 30-40
This weapon is well under control as it has a very low recoil. It is weak but you are able to pull off some accurate shots quickly.
Thompson
30 round clip
Approx Damage 30-40
This smg is weak but quite accurate but also can fire off many rounds per second.
BAR
20 round clip
Approx Damage 65-85
This gun has a huge recoil, but with this you have a huge punch by doing some serious damage. It takes a while getting use to, but doing short burst make it accurate and deadly!
The BAR also comes with a bipod. This allows you to become more accurate and have less recoil. But also more difficult to escape a nade.
Greasegun (spudgun)
30 round clip
Approx Damage 40-50
This gun is quite slow firing and not really that accurate, but compared to the thompson it does more damage!
Springfield
5 round clip
Approx Damage 100-120
This weapon is very accurate, but slow firing, if you survive a round from this you're lucky!
The springfield's zoom is a 4 way cross hair. You are able to get more accurate shots. And has more accuracy then the axis sniper rifle.
Colt
7 round clip
Approx Damage 30-50
This pistol is for short range use. It fires quite quickly and has some firepower to as well!
Knife
Approx Damage 65-100
This is very deadly you are either lucky for surviving one hit or very unlikely for not killing them in one.
30 cal
150 round clip
Approx Damage 65-85
This machine gun is more accurate than the mg42 and does more damage but has a less fire per second.
Using the bipod you are able to become more accurate and have less recoil.
Bazooka
1 shot
Approx Damage 1-100
This weapon is not that accurate and is quite hard to kill people with this weapon. But if you hit direct on then bingo. Also you can use this for blowing up certain walls and objects.
This is the bazooka shouldered. You need to do this to fire the weapon, but also note in this position you are slow at moving.
Grenade
Approx Damage 1-100
This can be extremely deadly. They have a 5 second timer on them. So if you wish to prime throw to the ground then pick up with the use key then throw within the next 2 secs or you will kamikaze. Depending on you class will depend on how many you get.
Axis (German)
Here is the axis model.
K98
5 Round Clip
Approx Damage 100
This is a one shot kill rifle. If you survive you are extremely lucky. It is also very accurate and has little recoil!
K98 Bayonet
Approx Damage 65-100
This is can be very deadly in combat whilst people are reloading or if you get to close you can use this to stab you opponent!
K43
10 Round Clip
Approx Damage 90-100
This is a semi automatic rifle which can be a one shot kill, but not always. It has quite a bit of recoil making it difficult to fire the next shots if not crouch.
K43 Butt Smack
Approx Damage 65-100
This also like the garand comes with a butt smack!
MP40
31 Round Clip
Approx Damage 30-40
This is a weak smg, but whilst weak it has very little recoil allowing you do pop of more shots accurately
MP44
30 Round Clip
Approx Damage 40-50
This weapon does more damage than the MP40, and offers more accuracy, but has more recoil not as bad as the BAR. But this is another deadly Assault Rifle.
FG42
20 Round Clip
Approx Damage 65-85
This is an advanced gamers weapon. It has a huge kickback but comes with great accuary and firepower and also being full automatic. Difficult to get use to but good players kill well with this killing you within 2 hits!
With this version of the FG42 you are able to go in prone or to a wall and use the bipod for increased accuracy and less recoil!
FG42 Scoped
20 Round Clip
Approx Damage 65-85
No real difference with this, just with a scope. And of course gary in front of me whilst we were owning :)
You cant guarntee to be like a sniper as the recoil will make your scope go all over the place. I recommend doing single fire as this is an advantage over a sniper.
K98 Sniper
5 Round Clip
Approx Damage 100
This axis sniper rifle is another deadly weapon. Nothing more or less than the springfield!
Same crosshairs as the Fg42.
MG34
74 Round Clip
Approx Damage 65-85
The Mg34 is the first version of machine guns. It has a small clip but it is accurate and does not heat up.
Also comes with bipod for less recoil. And a hell load more accurate!
MG42
250 Round Belt
Approx Damage 65-85
This MG42 is nasty in many ways. You can literally run around with it in close combat and kill everyone, or bipod it. It get heated very quickly though and you use ammo in know time. it also has less recoil then the MG34.
Ah when this is mounted using the bipod, its deadly in wiping enemies, just dont get trigger happy!
Panzershrek
1 Shot
Approx Damage 1-100
Another rocket launcher. I find this one the most accurate of the lot.
Ah Sniper!
Spade
Approx Damage 65-100
Oh the spade dont we just love like the crowbar in half life. The spade seems to do more damage than the knives. So fun!
Knife
Approx Damage 65-100
This knife you get equipped with on paratrooper mission rather than the spade.
Luger
8 Round Clip
Approx Damage 30-40
This little sidearm has more ammo then the Colt, but has less firepower and accuracy, but gains by having less recoil.
Stielhandgranate 24
Approx Damage 1-100
The "stick greanade" this nade seems to go more distant than the "pineapple". Does the same job really!
Allies (British)
A British Model, notice this is a sniper class they will look slightly different in other classes.
Enfield
2x5 Round Clips
Approx Damage 100
Another 1 shot kill rifle. A little more accurate then the k98 due to balance of teams, also it can hold an extra 5 round clip!
Enfield Bayonet
Approx Damage 65-100
Same as k98 really!
Sten
32 Round Clip
Approx Damage 30-40
This is the british smg, which has a weird clip. But like Mp40 it offers more accuracy but pays for it in more recoil.
Enfield Sniper Rifle
2x5 Round Clips
Approx Damage 100
A scope added to the enfield and a extended barrel for more accuracy, also this version uses the clip.
Uses a similar sight to the k98 sniper.
Bren
30 Round Clip
Approx Damage 65-85
This is the british machine gun. It has a very small clip, but you also gain in the amount of magazine. You are also able to run around and be accurate with this unlike all the other machine guns!
Just a mounted Bren. Less recoil and more accurate!
Piat
1 shot
Approx Damage 1-100
I find the Piat does the most damage out of all 3 launchers but also has the least accuracy.
Very high sight.
Knife
Approx Damage 65-100
This knife is very similar to the US one.
Revelor
6 Round
Approx Damage 25-40
I find this the most accurate pistol out of them all, and also it does the most damage
Grenade (Pineapple)
Approx Damage 1-100
Very similar to the US version, described as a pineapple!
Note: Some values can do more damage than 100. But we have not decide to go above the amount of health per person has, also if you get a headshot none of these approx damages matter at all.
Some other features
It's a bit outdated but a very dark cooridor.
Also dod allows you to pick up the enemies weapon. Notice i am an amrtican nicking a FG42.

Tips
If you want to know how many frames per second in the game press the console button and type net_graph 3
The max frames per second is 100 it is set at 72 to increase type this in console fps_max 100
Im not quite sure what this next one means but it is called rate. It is set at 20,000 i would recommend setting it between 5,000-10,000 so i pick 7,000. You do this by rate 7000.
The main objectives in DOD are to defend your waypoints, its not quite capture the flag, but capture the point aswell there is demolition which is destroy a target that has been given to you.
DOD is an extremly good mod using the half life engine. It stands out above CS for me. It seems to have a more realstic approach. Good recoils done on the weapons, accuracy and damage dealt with. It has now become very popular as there are also less hackers on DOD than CS.
It also has many features that CS doesnt offer, which make it a great all round mod. It also offers some new features than CS by adding a prone position and sprinting. Ok these are basics which even new games are missing.
Im really looking forward to DOD on the new half life 2 source engine, it should be special.
Also on DOD as it goes through steam it has a voice mod, or application.
Also notice i am no weapon specialist at all. I only know what it tells me!
The most important thing for me in DOD is that it is fun, it is the most funniest multiplayer game i know of by allowing a voice application, sprays and generally k00l people that communicate. If you have a copy of half life download Steam and DOD and make sure you get on one of those servers now!
