Day of Defeat Server Hosting, Explained

What is Day of Defeat?

New to Day of Defeat?

What is Day of Defeat?

Day of Defeat is Valve's team-based WWII shooter, set in the European Theatre of Operations. It began as a Half-Life mod and came out as a retail game in 2003. Players join the Allies or the Axis and pick a class: light, assault or heavy infantry, sniper or machine-gunner, each with its own historical weapons. Rounds are won by completing the map's objectives, such as capturing points, so squads have to move together and cover each other.

Objectives Win Rounds.

Capture the map's points with your squad. Kill count does not decide the round.

Classes and Historical Weapons.

Infantry, snipers and machine-gunners, each with the arsenal of their side.

Why rent a server?

What is Day of Defeat Server Hosting?

Day of Defeat has no official servers and no single-player mode, so every game is played on a server someone in the community runs. A dedicated server keeps yours online around the clock, close to your players, without a PC left on at home. With us it deploys in minutes, with the starting map, tick rate, game version and passwords in the panel, match rules in the config editor, a choice of vanilla or AMX Mod X, and full file access over SFTP and SSH for your maps and plugins.

Always Online.

Your server stays up when you log off, so your clan can play any time.

Full Control.

Set your map, rules and passwords, add custom maps, and play vanilla or with AMX Mod X.
