Insurgency: Modern Infantry Combat mod spawned Insurgency standalone which in turn has a mod called Day of Infamy. This is the standalone and highly expanded version of that mod. Game mechanics shared with the Day of Defeat games include timed spawn waves and capturing areas of the map as well as the World War Two theme. The game is always talked about as a spiritual successor to the Day of Defeat games but other than these similarities I think comparisons to either DOD game are unjustified and just plain wrong. It feels like the Source engine but with an added dose of realism so for fans of Valve's games it does well to scratch that itch without having to go and play ARMA or Red Orchestra or similar games with realism as the focus. Judged on its own terms this is a solid WW2 multiplayer team shooter with a lot of content. Be prepared to be stomped by veterans of this game. Easy to get kills once you understand the pace of the game and know the maps a bit.
