So very stubbly.
This page is rather stubbly and could use some expansion.
Are you a bad enough dude to rescue this article?
Hmmm...
To do:
  • There is more unused stuff.
  • The game was originally on the World Opponent Network (WON), before being shut down and moved over to Steam in July 2004. Might be things of note about this.
  • Much like Counter-Strike, the game's "alphas" and "betas" (or its life as a mod before becoming a retail product) need to be documented in a prototype page. Some starting points can be read about here, here and here.
  • Patch history.

Math time! What do you get when you take Team Fortress and add WWII?

Answer: this game.

Like many of Valve's other games, this started out as mod for a game, namely Valve's own Half-Life. Also received a remake in the Source engine two years later.

Cut Mortar Class

A cut class intended for all factions that would use, as the name suggests, a mortar. It's not very obvious why the class was removed; perhaps the mortar didn't play well with the maps?

Valve seemed to have tried adding the class again in Day of Defeat: Source, but it ended up getting scrapped there as well

Unused Model Parts

Weapons

All Allied (and by extension, Allied Paratroopers) faction weapons will have invisible sleeves when being obtained via console commands in maps that have the British faction, and vice versa. One example is the Lee-Enfield rifle, seen below:

Revisional Differences

Menus

Just like all other GoldSource engine games, Day of Defeat received many of the same changes the others did when going from WON (World Opponent Network) to Steam in 2003.
