DAY OF DEFEAT
This game is a modification from the game Half life, where also Counter strike came from.
It is a multiplayer game, with users all over the world, you can end up playing on the same team with people from the other end of the world. -Personally, the people i have played that have been farthest away from me, have come from New Zealand, Australia, and South Africa., I regularly play with people from USA / Canada.
The game is played real time, wich means that the other people you play with see the same as you, depending on where you are on the map.
It is set in world war II, and is based on actual incidents and battles. F.x one of the maps is based on allied landings on D-Day. -Below is a screenshot of my view when i start this map as an allied soldier. As you can see in the top left, the Allied forces have a little under 12 minutes to advance of the beach, capture/destroy the two cannons, radiotower,and a bunker containing a third cannon.. -This is called a "objective based map"

-MAPS: there are an infinete ammount of maps for the game, downloadable from many different sites. -both stock (maps that come with the game) and custom (maps made by people that play DOD.
MOVEMENT: Remember. If you kill someone, the first place they will come looking for you, is that exact spot. -So movement is crutial. There is an expression that reads "Run&gun" witch really says it all.
As you can see from the picture below, there are many places to hide. -There could be an enemy in every crack, window, hole in the street, etc,etc. -But for me this is one of the major things that makes the game thriling.
-In games you buy, the "bad guys" are set. -They come around the same corner every time. If you get shot, you just start over, you now know where the bad guy will come from. Here you play other human beings playing their own game. -Nothing is set, The other guy will most lightly try to outsmart you just as much as you try to outsmart your opponent.
