Day of Infamy

I noticed on steam that the DOI standalone has just come out , anyone planning this? http://store.steampowered.com/app/447820/

I bought this at the weekend. If you liked Insurgency then you'll like this. Can be a little frustrating at times when people just go off doing their own thing, as opposed to actually capturing flags etc.

Worth a punt at £14 imo. If you don't like it, just do a refund through Steam.

I played it when a few months ago when it was a very early mod and enjoyed it. Bought it proper last night with a few others and had a blast on it.

Download the real sounds mod, it's epic.

Cracking game! Well worth the £12 you pay if you already own Insurgency on Steam.

The MG42 with real sounds is a scary thing of beauty.

i managed to get in a game with Sidestrafe last night

Its going to take some getting used to how they have changed the classic maps, but i really enjoyed it.

already own insurgency but DOI is still coming up at 14 odd quid, not that a couple of quid matters but am I supposed to do something to get the reduced price?

eidt: ignore - I had the insurgency beta installed, when I switched back to the standard version the 12 quid price shows up

Installed this last night. They don't sound that 'real' to me?

Did you install the game or the game and the mods Tony was referring too?

Game then the mod after that. Some of the weapons sound good, but for example the MG42 and the K98 sound a little weak to me.

I see, sorry it wasn't clear from your last post.

I haven't tried this game myself, how does it differ from insurgency?

It was clear?

It's essentially Insurgency but set in World War 2, so you have Sicily, Dog Red (Omaha), Bastogne maps etc.

I like it personally, it's not your typical pick up and point FPS. It's quite tactical in all honesty. Voice comms is a must!

I think it's on sale for around £14 on Steam. I'd say buy it and give it a go. If for whatever you don't like it, just request a refund through Steam (just don't play for more than 2 hours)

You can request a refund for nearly any purchase on Steam—for any reason. Maybe your PC doesn't meet the hardware requirements; maybe you bought a game by mistake; maybe you played the title for an hour and just didn't like it.

It doesn't matter. Valve will, upon request via help.steampowered.com, issue a refund for any reason, if the request is made within fourteen days of purchase, and the title has been played for less than two hours. There are more details below, but even if you fall outside of the refund rules we’ve described, you can ask for a refund anyway and we’ll take a look.

You will be issued a full refund of your purchase within a week of approval. You will receive the refund in Steam Wallet funds or through the same payment method you used to make the purchase. If, for any reason, Steam is unable to issue a refund via your initial payment method, your Steam Wallet will be credited the full amount.

I've never heard a real MG42 so maybe they do sound more punchy in real life, either way I think it sounds ace.

Wouldn't want one fired in my direction.

Worth a crack?

I LOVE Day of Defeat, still play Source and it is still very active.

Does this do it better than DOD?

Gimpymoo · 25 Sep 2016 at 21:08

Nobody playing this thus far?

Gimpymoo · 21 Mar 2017 at 22:23

Game goes "Gold" in 2 days - hoorah.

A very underappreciated game in my opinion.

Developers are live streaming on this launch day.

PC gaming at it's finest.

This is superb, really brings back that nostalgic early to mid 2000's online gaming feel.

That is what most say when they play.

Flat out skill wins the day.

All the guff added since the mid 00's onwards has been stripped off.

A proper balls to the walls shooter with good teamplay.

I'd totally forgotten about this, got 6 hours on it when it was early access.

Downloaded it, time to get my MG42 back on Dog Red!

hughtrimble · 27 Mar 2017 at 01:26

This game is stonkingly good. The atmosphere when you get a full squad and air support...damn is it intense.

There's a Vietnam mod that whilst needing work, has a lovely feel to it, rather like Battlefield Vietnam (the original).
