DoD: Source Free Weekend

[CSN NewsBot]

Haven't had a chance to try Day of Defeat: Source yet? Been unsure as to if you want to take the plunge and purchase the game? Well, now is your chance to get a taste of Day of Defeat: Source for free!



Valve is hosting a free DoD: Source weekend from February 10th to the 12th. All you need is Steam and the DoD: Source files pre-loaded onto your machine (or wait until the weekend of the event to download, if you so choose to).

This weekend Valve is inviting everyone to try Day of Defeat: Source for free via Steam. Visit Steampowered.com to pre-load the game and be set to play at 12:00 pm PST on Friday, when the Free Weekend begins. Join the ranks as Axis or Allies troops located in Western Europe during the height of the war in 1944.

Free is always oh so wonderful.

I was thinking about how solid of a game DoD:S is for the price. It's a game that would be worth buying for more, though getting it for 10 bucks with silver was fine with me. Not to mention it looks great.

yes sir! Free is always good What a great way to get people interested in a good looking game. I can't wait. I've been interested in testing it but didn't feel like paying just to test/play it!

DoD:S has to be my favorite source game.



I'm glad they're running this promotion. It's pretty smart. Get people hooked and then take it away :)



They're like drug dealers, giving you your first taste free.

Hi Gpig

[Vlux]

Crap, more DOD: S noobs. Jk.



Nice promotion, very nice. Hopefully it'll make a smooth transition and balance out the number of players on Source games.

Hmm it feels like DOD:s is in need of more players, so that will be a good thing!!
