Day of Defeat: Source is free for this weekend!

**CingularDuality** · 02-07-2006, 01:55 PM

Valve is running a promotion this weekend, February 10th, 11th and 12th that allows anyone to download and install Steam and Day of Defeat: Source for free!

This is an excellent opportunity for everyone to try out TacticalGamer's outstanding DoD server, whether you enjoyed DoD for the original Half-Life engine, or you're completely new to this WWII masterpiece.

All you have to do to get in on the action is download and install Steam (Valve's content delivery software), create an account, preload DoD:S before Friday, and then just wait to kick some Axis or Allied butt!

Click here to get started!

This weekend, let's make every day of defeat a victory!

Now if we could somehow tie this into the upcoming Game Club night (which would likely involve a reschedule), we'd have a real whiz-banger on our hands!

We can move OFP to next week.

Now is this going to be a play only for the weekend free thing, or are they essentially giving away the game to whoever does this in time?

Tarpan, it's a weekend trial of DoD. I almost thought it was free forever if you got it this weekend but the Steam forums clarified this. As if the PR people don't know about the word "trial" to clear up any confusion.

I thought "Free weekend" was pretty self explanatory. Not "free forever" or anything.

And DoD:S is one of my favorite games of all time. For 10 bucks it was a bargain (I upgraded my bronze package from the ATi deal) and I play it more than some games I payed full price for.

Yipee, I'm gonna try this.

Hmmm, well this has taken all day to pre-load and it's got to 99.9% pre-loaded and stopped!!

India51A · 02-10-2006, 01:20 PM

It says we can start playing at 12pm PST! What time will that be here in the UK?

Free trial went great last night. Bought the game this morning.
