...which uses the same engine Day Of Defeat:Source will definitely look better.
===Sounds:===
First thing that really hit me in the face with sounds was the amazingly great title song! I love it, it always brings up a mood for battle. It sounds both melancholic and militaristic. Weapons sounds are allright, guns sound regognizable, and powerfull weapons sound powerfull.. where the peashooters sound like peashooters. The explosions sound nice and powerfull ... ...which improve them further. Im a big fan of the atmosphere in the game, and the sounds definitely are big part of it too. Theres war ambient sounds in the distance, enemies and team members yelling.. Germans speak german and Americans speak english so theres no stupid "germans speak english with silly accent" feature like in so many WW2 shooters, yet again serving purpose for the games atmosphere. Theres ingame VOIP meaning players can communicate ...

...get started i should mention day of defeat source is a multiplayer online game so it offers no single player mode. And the game is a first person shooter.
"Graphics"
The game looks fantastic, it all really depends on your graphics card in the end but if you have an average to good graphics card it looks and runs perfectly, It has nicer textures than other source games.
"Game-play"
This game is probably the best ever game I've ever played for ... ...want to work as a team and co-operate with you to take down your enemies, There are of course still the odd idiot or two but there are countless good community servers with top-notch admins to keep everyone in check and playing happy. There is two main type of game types in this game which are capture the flag where you win the round by controlling all flags on the map or detonation where you have to blow up your enemies targets which are usually ...

Day of Defeat Source
http://www.dayofdefeatmod.com/
yes, another WW2 online shooter. Its old(ish) now, but i found it for about £5 so i figured i'd give it a whirl.
The graphics are pretty nice, not bad anyway, dont know when it was released but it certainly isnt new. Theres a cool grainy function when you are waiting to spawn or dead and watching other people running about (spectator mode). Theres not much to each kit, just the usual. eg. Thompson, ... ...kit, bazooka, M1 carbine and a knife. I had a laugh, but it is hard, theres clearly a dedicated following and some weapons are bad-ass in the right hand, i died many times. There are evil campers who hide in dark corners waiting for a noob like me to run past, but they didnt seem to be too many, plus you soon learn to chuck nades or spay your thompson into the dark.
You can tell its source, cos people are doing some weird stuff modding it.
If you ...

DOD source is very underated game on steam. i bought it after having played counter strike too.
it is an online - FPS based game where you chose to be part of the us army or the german Vermarcht. the game also allows you to chose what kind of role your take on in your team. e.g sniper, assault etc. the weapon selection is very authentic and the recoils are very realistic to how it would have been in ww2. The maps are very authentic and some more ...
