Insurgency is a very slow-paced game which awards lightning reflexes, situational awareness, and patience.Day of Infamy takes this to a whole new level with weapons that require more accuracy and patience. Alongside new weapons is improved co-op, single player modes and unique, entertaining maps. Because half the players in the game will be using slow bolt-action weapons, players have to be.

Day of Infamy is a multiplayer tactical simulation first-person shooter video game developed and published by New World Interactive set during the events of World War II in the European Theater.[1][2] It is a standalone to the Day of Infamy mod released for their previous title, Insurgency. Day of Infamy uses Valve's Source engine.[3][4] The game was released for Microsoft Windows, macOS, and Linux on March 23, 2017.[5][6]
There are various maps in this game, all of which are based around the western front conflicts of 1941-1945. The final update for the game was released on the 21st of December, 2017. After that, community efforts like Screaming Steel 1914-1918 were last updated in August of 2019.
Development[edit]
Day of Infamy began as a free mod to their previous title, Insurgency.[7][8] The mod was released to Steam's Workshop on January 16, 2016, and was updated through May 26, 2016. A closed alpha was released on July 19, 2016.[9]Day of Infamy was approved for release in Steam's Early Access program on July 28, 2016.[10] The game entered the beta phase on December 22, 2016,[11] and left Early Access on March 23, 2017.[12][13] Last update was on the 21st of December, 2017.
Gameplay[edit]
Day of Infamy draws a lot of its gameplay from Insurgency. Much like their previous title, Day of Infamy lacks a crosshair, HUD map, and on certain servers, a kill feed.[14][15] A player will die by being shot once with a rifle, and respawns occur in waves (when the team has waves available).[15] Each teammate gets a number of Supply Points they can spend on weapons and gear for their soldier, a class in each team to select and a weight system which affects Stamina and player speed. There are nine player classes that a player can choose from.[1][15]
The available classes are:
![]()
Each team receives a certain number of reinforcement waves dependent on game mode. Your team gains Supply points by completing map objectives and killing players from the opposite team.
Maps and Game Modes[edit]
The game is based around various operations and conflicts in World War 2. These include:
Battles and Casual w/ Bots focus on games with reinforcements and larger player numbers, with up to 32, to 40 players at a time. Special Assignments have 16 player servers, and no reinforcement waves available or limited and special case respawns.
Battles or Casual W/ Bots*[edit]Frontline*[edit]
Frontline is a 5 controlpoint based mode, where each team gets an equal amount of reinforcement waves. Each team has an HQ Radio, or the Base control point which can be destroyed. A team wins by wiping out the enemy team or seizing all objectives and destroying the Radio. Teams gain or lose reinforcement waves by completing or losing objectives and the team with the most objectives by the time limit, also wins.
Invasion*[edit]
An attack/defense game mode, where the attacking team receives about only 25% of the defender's reinforcements, and has to complete all objectives one by one, finally destroying their radio HQ or just wipe them all out. If attackers reach the radio or HQ objective, defenders will immediately lose all reinforcements. Attackers receive more reinforcements, and defenders slowly lose them, by successfully attacking all objectives.
Offensive[edit]
A minor variation on the Invasion game mode, where the defenders have infinite reinforcements and only have to regroup at their spawn to get their dead teammates back. Attackers have regular waves.
Liberation[edit]
A number of objectives are neutral and already available, to both teams and are able to be immediately taken in any order. Bonuses are given for taking objectives behind enemy lines. The advancing team gains more reinforcements, and wins by taking and holding all the objectives or by wiping out the enemy team.
Special Assignments[edit]Intel[edit]
A capture-the-flag style game mode. The attackers have to take an intel folder from the defenders, while defenders have to stop them.
Firefight[edit]
Similar to Liberation, players have to take all objectives or wipe out the enemy team. Players respawn by capturing objectives for their team.
Sabotage[edit]
Attackers are to infiltrate, seek out and destroy enemy AA defenses and Fuel depot locations around the defenders. The defenders are to stop them, and win if not all objectives are completed!
Co-op Game Modes[edit]Stronghold[edit]
Very similar to Invasion, except the defenders are all bots and attackers have to seize all objectives.
Raid[edit]
Fuel depots, enemy officers and AA defenses are all targets and the objectives of the attackers to complete. This is to simulate a special forces type, SAS style raid in World War 2.
Entrenchment[edit]
Very similar to Offensive, where Defenders are human players that have to defend against waves of enemies. They retreat to spawn to regroup and respawn all teammates.
Reception[edit]
Day of Infamy received a 77 out of 100 on Metacritic.[16]

Day Of Infamy Book Summary

Dear Reader,
Day of Infamy is a World War 2 themed First Person Shooter developed and published by New World Interactive, best known for their previous game Insurgency. The game plays similar to Insurgency featuring a combination of fast-paced movement with more realistic weapon handling. This review will focus on the Co-Operative mode as that’s the mode that interested me the most, and the limited amount of servers in Australia.
As in Insurgency, the player has to select a class before joining the action. Each class serves a purpose, from area denial, to close quarters combat, to long-range precision. Most classes can be devastating if used right, but can become very vulnerable in situations that don’t suit them.
Each of the three armies (American, German and Commonwealth) featured have unique weapons and equipment that offer enough variety to allow for different tactical approaches, but balanced enough so that no faction feels overpowered.
Sound design and atmosphere is something that has been absolutely nailed. Artillery strikes shake the ground and cause ears to ring. Soldiers cough as they run through smoke from grenades and scream when set on fire by flamethrowers. Officers shout for artillery over the radio. Machine guns bark furiously when fired, especially the rapid firing German MG 42. It could arguably have more gore, but overall it certainly brings an intense feeling.
Combat itself is often brutal. Although pistols and submachine guns may require a few shots to take out a target, rifles and belt-fed machine guns often only require one round to put somebody down. Fragments from grenades can travel much further than other games, causing injury.
CO-OP has three modes: Stronghold, Raid, and Entrenchment. Stronghold involves the players capturing or destroying various objectives. In Raid, there are three randomized objectives which players must find. Entrenchment requires the player to fend off waves of enemies.
Day Of Infamy Lan Coop
I find Entrenchment to be the most enjoyable mode, as it’s pretty simple and easy enough with a decent team, although not so easy that it allows for the player to be complacent. Stronghold is also pretty fun with an objective-minded team, but Raid really requires a very coordinated team which is rare in public play.
The biggest flaw with Day of Infamy is that it plays very similar to Insurgency. At times it feels more like a well-made mod rather than a full title. I do feel overall Day of Infamy offers enough different features, but if you’ve put a lot of time into Insurgency this game might feel a bit routine.
The AI is also pretty dumb. Although at range they can prove to be deadly accurate, up close they tend to freeze up. I’ve also seen entire squads of soldiers funnel into a room where I had my machine gun set up.
Day Of Infamy Speech Text
Still, if you’re looking for a tactical WW2 shooter, Day of Infamy is worth a look. It’s reasonably priced and well executed. It brings thrilling and at times brutal experience that requires teamwork and tactical play. Hell, it’ll probably be a better game than Call of Duty: WWII.
