Valve partners with Day of Defeat team
The company behind Half-Life will support the continued development of the popular World War II mod.
Valve Software has announced that it has formed an official partnership with the Day of Defeat team for the continued development of Day of Defeat, the popular World War II mod. Like Counter-Strike, Day of Defeat is a team-based game built on Valve's award-winning action game Half-Life, but it is set during World War II rather than in the present day. Players assume the role of one of five types of Axis or Allied soldiers in Western Europe, and they work with their team to complete various objectives, such as capturing an enemy area, defending a beach, or destroying enemy forces.
In addition to the new partnership, Valve announced that Day of Defeat 3.0 will launch next week with new missions and gameplay types, a new player class, and other improvements. For more information, visit the official Day of Defeat Web site and take a look at our previous coverage of Half-Life.
