The community is so small everyone is the comments has probably played together

i love this game, well balanced between arcade and realism. feels fast paced, but still feels tense.

This made me remember way _waaaay_ back when the servers populated here, and i recalled playing Germans in Crete invasion, we would throw wave after unsuccessful wave on point baker and finally in frustration the officer would call in a stuka on the point and then we'd all rush in and take it. good times. haha. The piat weapon in this was almost like artillery in itself, so powerful. actually in a game without armored units to destroy, there was a lot of anti tank stuff. lol

Try it with bots. You wont regret it. The AI feels great. They actually listen to your orders and play their roles

Kinda sad that this game got kina forgotten. I still remember playing with my german Kamerad, throughout Crete or Dunkirk.

One thing I recommend taking a look at is the singleplayer. Out of many games, the AI are smart. First of all, they can hear and react to the sounds, even footsteps! Second When they loose sight of you they aren't too simple, they do remember you went that way and either attempt to follow or throw nades but get this, say you are sniping from a window, when they spot you and try to shoot you they even do suppressing fire. If you hide into cover, the continue firing for a few second and have bits of gaps inbetweenfire to trick you into peeking so they can hit you. Another thing is, if you and an enemy bot are basically alone and your back is turned, expect to be stabbed in the back silently. Next, friendly bots, if you play as an officer and request a radio, a radio guy will come BUT if you request backup, a squad of guys will follow you for a brief amount of time to support you. If bots are in cover like a small wall and they get shot at, they will duck to cover, if the wall is too short, they will go prone. I have gotta hand it to them, their bots though not perfect, are fantastic. Now there are two bot difficulties, infantry and commando, at first commando feels like unfair bots, but over time you get used to it, I play single player often and I can easily say commando difficulty adds to the immersion, they are challenging enough to not make it feel like it's just a bullshit ai. The only problems I have is the specifically when the officer called artillery, he is more likely to target you like 80% If you enter a room without looking to you side, expect some sour kraut, tea sippin wank, or Yankee to come charging at you with a bayonet. If they are not using rifle, expect them to shank ya.

Better and more polished than Insurgency, yet it doesn't get as many players... makes me so sad. I pray everyday for giant youtubers playing this game so it gets populated

IMHO, this is the best WW2 FPS game! (For modern day shooters, Insurgency is severely underrated. It's also made by the same company that made Day Of Infamy... New World Interactive. Much of what I'm about to say below about Day Of Infamy can also apply to Insurgency.) This game is not a fcking grind, nor is it pay to win, or full of gambling mechanics (like lootboxes). It is a completely fair game, as every player has access to all the gear regardless of money/time spent. Unlike COD, this game is not garbage! It's not so demanding on your internet. It remains playable even if you have 200 ping on servers around the world... this is because of the slower pace of gameplay. The time to kill is short, but the average engagement takes longer (as people aren't running and gunning all the time, you have to scout for them). This means that not everything relies so heavily on having the best internet and using whatever the "meta" is, tactics have more of a role in how you do. This is not to say ping isn't important, but this game is easier to play than games like COD would be on a subpar connection. It's also a very well optimized game that doesn't require a power PC or a lot of storage, but it still looks nice and modern. Day Of Infamy also supports Linux, has mod support, and works offline. There's single player with bots. You are also given the resources to start your own server, which you can then find in the server browser (not some rigged MTX-based "Engagement Optimized Matchmaking" system designed to exploit players like COD). And to top it off, this game costs a fraction of the average "base version" of a brand new AAA game... and that's at regular price. On sale, it's even better! This game is better than Hell Let Loose or Post Scriptum as well, since it runs better than either of the two. Hell Let Loose could maybe become P2W in the future, seeing how they released DLC (and also from knowing some devs/staff who have had involvement in some P2W games before). I'd put more hope in Post Scriptum over HLL, do to this... but we'll shall see as time goes on.

One of the best tactical shooter from the decade 2010 - 2019.

The AI in this game are pretty impressive as well. I also love the rifle grenade, planting it right behind a sandbag and seeing a limbless soldier pop up 6 feet in the air. The sound design and voice acting is pretty awesome to.

First played the game when it was a mod for insurgency. I bought it and had so much fun. It is sad seeing the game being abandoned by the dev team and then the community....

love the gunplay. the ttk is also perfect for older gamers who want something more thoughtful and methodic and somewhat realistic. go for it it's available for cheap

Glad I stumbled upon this video. What a trip down memory lane! On Steam, I clocked about 42 hours from 2017-18, as well as 195 hours of Insurgency retail. It's a shame about the dwindling player count, my guess is that NWI player base tends to jump whenever the latest entry comes out (I'm guilty of that as well, I stopped playing DOI and vanilla Insurgency spring/summer 2018 when Sandstorm hit early access). Pre-Sandstorm, I didn't like how NWI would end up buying up total conversion mods and then selling them retail, which split up the player base pretty bad. At one point, wasn't there a Vietnam mod and a World War 1 mod that got retail releases?

I bought this game on sale back in 2018 and played a ton with one of my csgo buddies. I loved every second, but he stopped playing games and I haven’t picked it up since. Sad to see it start to fizzle out, I think I’m gonna hop on tomorrow

Honestly hadn't played this game because I didn't know about it. I've still been on DOD Source

I love DoI, one of my fav shooters, the one problem I have is...... Explosive Spam and no spawn protection Last day played on crete and directly at the spawn someone use a granate and killed half the team multiple times Besides that, it’s a great game

Back in 2018 leading up to 2019 I played this game a lot. I miss it.

I love DOI so much more than insurgency sandstorm (that game has been a pain in the ass for me) yet issues like artillery and bomber spam on spawn, the ability to destroy the radio with rockets, artillery/bombing run and grenades, extreme flanking for mg spawncamping, going out of bounds with the bayonet, the flamethrowers being really inconsistent and the suicide bombers on Crete really drive me away from this game when i play it. There are also some great mods like those death screams mod that gives you lasting memories. Also another complaint is that you can use every weapon regardless what year it is.

It was my favorite ww2 game and have like 102 hours in it and played in early 2017 to dec 2018. At 2018 i couldent find servers below 300 ping due to the loss of players which killed it for me now i just play hell let loose which reminds me of this game but a large scale version of it and have pumped 121 hours in it. And foy is my favorite map in this game.

DOI has to have the best feeling guns of any WWII game ever made

It’s sad how tiny the community for this game is, such and underrated game.

Heres the Thing: games like COD are a lot of fun but lack realism, games like Arma are realistic but boring, Insurgency / Day of Infamy are the perfect balance of Fun/Realism truly a lesson for other studios on how to make a proper shooter

In my opinion, this game is way better than insurgency, so it's sad to see how low the player count is.

The enfield rifle on this game is so damn op

See you guys in 1 of the only 2 populated servers you can find a day

i just hop on into two full servers in frankfurt and then aussie server i almost recognize all the players

Clocked 200 hours into this in 2017-2018, some of the most fun FPS gaming ever.

I wish this would come out for next gen consoles. Got a series s and would love to play it

i miss this game so much :(

Im hoping they make a sequel to this, the same way they did with sandstorm and the og insurgency

Seeing into an enemies spawn is a major oversight. And a serious flaw that showoff of been rectified as soon as the community gave feedback on it. It shouldn't have even made it to the final product.

I always look for my name in the bottom left of doi videos

YOU HAVE TO CHECK OUT THE CUSTOM MAPS! they are bigger and better!

The biggest reason people don't play it is because they don't know it exists

The air support is the worst part of Insurgency Sandstorm as well.

This game is so underrated and way better and more polished than Insurgency! Fuck the devs that game killed Day of infamy and they have forever abandoned this WW2 classic!

This biggest flaw of Sandstorm is the limit to 10v10, dont why they did this especially with wide open maps. It's so nice when I started playing Day of Infamy and having those 32 player servers.

I mean no Wonder that it is fast paced, it plays on small maps where you dont have any cover, besides dog red maybe You could get shot anywhere just standing there thats why you need to keep moving DOOM logic.

NWI makes game: Rocket spam: hi there

Has this game in my library for 2 years never touched. But I’m giving it a try cause I’m fed up with BFV. Ideally I’d like to play he’ll let loose but im broke as shit.

hey, at least the ai is decent in this game, id like to see some improvements or mods that improve them, but you can make them work on custom maps, so its not too big of a deal. really wish this game got a sequel like insurgency did. maybe ill make a bot mod for it that lets you play on all modes or something to keep the game playable on days when player counts are down. who knows.

tomorrow is the day of infamy haha get it???

great video pal, if you ever want to collab on this game or day of deafeat just let me know pal :}

I wish they'd port this to consoles. Glad it has bot support though

It is a great game. I play it a lot. Totally agree with your points. Another one though is the amount of racist shit in the chat. This would be with a few decent admins though.

I have 2,000hours on this game played it since 2018 in my opinion this is the best ww2 game on steam sadly devs have forgotten about this game im so pissed on the devs

played this game alot when it first came out then couldnt find a game. should i hop on?

Gunplay in this is still so much better than HLL

I hear that this game is dead, but I've been looking into it. I've noticed that insurgency typically has about 2 or 3 full servers at a time which makes it worth it. Does doi see enough traffic to make it worth buying?

IMO, people don't play this game because this is a difficult game to play. As you have notted, most of the problems are also present in insurgency, but people still play that game. The devs also released a few updates after launch that introduced new maps, that helped to bring back some momentum. But people would just quit again due to difficulty.

Are the devs still working on improving this game?

Is there a single player mode? Looks great - worth a buy if servers aren't populated. 👍🏻

devs gave up on the game way to fast. they couldve stretched it out.

Demobottle gaming

Dude my fps is about a 25 or even 20 on ultra low

Let's be honest Day of infamy is the new day of defeat.

I don't give a single fk about their darude sandstorm - day of infamy been way more fun. Incredible game, great sounds and awesome voice lines. It is rly sad this game got left...

got me to reinstall this! cant wait to be blown up by artillery over and over while desperately trying to make it up the beach on dog red. no other game on the market does ww2 the justice this game does. i've seen footage of hell let loose and it looks promising but for me the smaller maps and gun play of doi is unbeatable.

And here I thought you were saying japans attack on pearl harbor was perfect 😂 you scared me

Love the gameplay but hate the sound design

And to be honest, I Hope NWI never touches this game again, if you seen the state of Sandstorm you know what I mean

I bought the game but it wouldn't launch lol

I hate that this game is fast paced a lot, you can’t react that you’re getting killed as soon as you spawn

Tbh the only way to boost player count in the game is by making this game free

flamethrower is the best thing about this game

great ww2 game,

Day of Infamy is Battlefield 1942 2.0!

They ain’t a single alive server NA

So I read an old review and it mentioned monthly credit card issues. Is there a subscription?! I’d like to buy it on Steam now for $7.99 but not for a monthly fee.

Best is Pistole and knife aint useledd

Unfortunately, game is dead now

"Realistic": the only thing somewhat realistic in this game is the fact that you die easily. There is neither bullet drop / travel time, nor historically accurate equipment and units (you can use a MG42 in a 1940 battle and so on). This is a fun game but there is no reason to falsely call it "realistic".

too bad new world interactive just took the mod, made it commercial and dropped support immediately, so balancing wont ever happen. this is why the playerbase died.

all the ww2 fans are playing Hell Let Loose rn / kinda sucks as I think Post Scriptum and DOI are much better

The explosions are realistic. You realize the effective death radius from a 105 mm round is 200 to 400 meters right? Also, you can not see into spawn, you can see into maybe one spawn exit per map. Maybe don't use those exits? Every spawn on every map has 4 exits

Very great game but noobs cry to much, not for casual players.

They lost the vibe of the mod they based it off of which ruined it for me

This game was the last gift from my ex-girlfriend, and its one of my most played steam games ever! I love it, and I'm one of those who see this as the spiritual successor to DOD:S which I raped back in the day.

They advertise this game once every two years or so... that's why. So, lame

idk why people don't play this game now. My reason is lack of players if this game have a 1K+ player base i will reinstall it tbh i'm reinstalling it right now
