Day Of Defeat: Source Update, New Map, FREE Weekend

Valve is giving plenty of love to Day of Defeat: Source as the latest update adds a new map, SteamCommunity features including Achievements, Player Statistics, Killcam, Nemesis and a FREE Weekend to compliment it all. Check out all the details below:

New Map: Palermo

Introducing Palermo, a new Day of Defeat: Source map from Magnar “insta” Jenssen. This map’s design was inspired by the Italian port city of the same name and was also based in part on “Salerno”, a popular community map. Palermo features five capture points, four of which often flip back and forth between teams during play. The central plaza’s two-person capture point is the map’s key strategic area.

Steam Community Features: 

Steam Community avatars will now appear next to each player name in the scoreboard, on the end-of-round panel, and as part of the newly-added freeze cam. Also, when you have friends playing with you in the game you’ll be able to spot them using the new Friend icon next to their avatar on the scoreboard.
