The current update schedule for Day of Infamy consists of major content updates every few months, with smaller updates in between. We will likely do the occasional sale timed with these larger updates, as our total wishlist count on Steam is nearing 100,000 people. Today’s update would be considered an in between update. It contains weapon / class / artillery / gameplay balance, flamethrower dynamic lighting, a new weapon, and more. It’s nothing substantial, but it makes the game a bit more fun and addresses a lot of grief people have expressed. We are also releasing a new survey to go along with the update, so we can gather some feedback on the game and improve it going forward. We encourage you all to participate in the survey if you have some spare time. It can be found here: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/DOI_Early_Access_Survey_Aug_2016 Full changelist below:

The Future

For the next major update, in addition to various new content, one of the features we are working on is body dismemberment. It seems that one of the qualities of the game people love is its intense nature and gritty combat, so we expect dismemberment will only push that even further. We hope to have this in before Halloween time.

We’re in the design process for Day of Infamy’s ranking up progression system, as well as its competitive Liberation mode which will allow players to rank up faster. As you ascend through the game’s ranks, you will earn medals and unlock random unit badges/headgear. The unit badges would be visible on your character as an arm patch and special headgear. We are looking into the possibility of making these tradeable through Steam’s inventory system. Your profile card is essentially a trading card representing your persona. Players will be able to see the profile cards of friends and stack up against one another in leaderboards. On the back side of profile cards will show more detailed statistics of your persona.

We recently started a new official map, which is based on the classic Day of Defeat map Avalanche. The map is in an early block out stage, and will likely be tested on the beta branch at some point in the not too distant future, for those interested. If you would like to get beta branch event updates, we would suggest joining the official game group here.

Day of Infamy - Deluxe DLC

Experience intense close-quarters battles in iconic WWII settings. Day of Infamy is a teamwork-oriented shooter which aims to be a continuation and evolution of the original Day of Defeat mod released in 2001 - brought to you by the creators of Insurgency.

Features

Strategic Gameplay
Intense core infantry mechanics and a simplified HUD create a highly visceral and immersive experience. With a reinforcement wave system tied to objectives, the game maintains an emphasis on teamwork and coordination.

Iconic WWII Battles
From the shores of Sicily and streets of Italy, to the forests of Belgium and Germany. And of course the Normandy beaches.

Historic Armies
The Allied infantry forces of the British Commonwealth and U.S. Army clash against the German Wehrmacht.

Authentic Arsenal
Depending on your team’s supply, you may customize and upgrade your gear and weaponry, affecting your appearance, weight, stamina, and movement speed. The game contains a full-range arsenal including bolt-action rifles, pistols, revolvers, submachine guns, heavy machine guns, grenades, and flamethrowers. Fix bayonets, extend magazines, or swap iron sights with period-specific customization options.

Teamwork Required
Officers can direct their team in the field. In addition to a wide variety of command options, they may call in fire support if a radio operator is nearby. Fire support options include artillery barrage and smoke screen. Local voice is used to talk to your teammates in the game, but be careful because the enemy can hear you if you’re too close. Radio operators also serve as a communication beacon to those around them, as HQ and radio operator chatter can be heard through them.

Multiplayer Modes

Designed for up to 32 players engaging in sustained infantry combat, battling over territorial and destructive objectives that increase your reinforcements.

Frontline
Both teams are given the objective of pushing through the map. A team wins when all objectives have been captured, or if the time runs out and a team has majority control of the battlefield.

Liberation
To win, your team must capture all territorial objectives to liberate the area. Capturing points will gain your team more reinforcement waves. You will gain more waves by securing points behind enemy lines.

Offensive
The attacking team must capture one point at a time pushing back the entrenched enemy. When objectives are secured by the attacking team, additional waves and time is added to prolong the battle.

Cooperative Modes

8 player squads battle a challenging AI opponent in attack or defense modes.

Stronghold
Move through enemy held territory and secure the area. Your team will be reinforced each time an objective is secured.

Patrol
Patrol the surrounding area. Be especially careful, as there are no reinforcement waves in this mode. Once your squad has reached its waypoint, you must either return to base or eliminate any discovered enemy forces in the area.

Entrenchment
Defend the line at all costs. Make sure to fall back and regroup occasionally to keep your squad reinforced.

Community Features

Mod Support
People can create mods for the game that contain all new factions, weapons, and more. With Workshop support you can expect to see custom mods, weapons, player skins, maps, and various other contributions from our talented community. We are very excited to see what the community produces.

Achievements
The game contains a diverse array of achievements for players to feel a sense of progression learning the game’s various mechanics.
