Day of Defeat Steamworks Update in Beta

A new update adding support for Steamworks is
currently available in beta for Day of Defeat: Source, the popular World War II
online action game from Valve, creators of the Half-Life and Counter-Strike
games.

Leveraging the recently released free set of
services available in Steamworks, the Day of Defeat update will add 51
achievements for DoD, player avatar display in the scoreboard and win panel, and
detailed player statistics integrated with the Steam Community features (www.steamcommunity.com).

This update also adds support for popular
features introduced in Valve’s Team Fortress 2 (TF2), the PC title named
multiplayer game of the year by Gamespy.com and PC Gamer. These include
"nemesis/revenge" freeze cam and new effects driven by the particle system
introduced to the Source engine for TF2.

In addition, this update will also introduce a
new map, dod_Palermo, which is a remix of the most popular community map,
dod_salerno.

Owners of Day of Defeat: Source, retail and
Steam versions, may join the beta free of charge. For more information about Day
of Defeat: Source or to join the beta, please visit
