The latest milestone in Day of Infamy's development has been reached, as we move from Alpha phase into Beta. Thank you to our passionate community, who provided feedback through our surveys, forums, and analytical data that enabled us to make some major changes. Maps such as Bastogne and Reichswald have been overhauled, improved balance to player classes, performance improvements, and various bug fixes. We are also introducing several major features, such as stats and rankings, the unit system, air support, and new game modes. New shaders for characters and environment materials have boosted the graphic fidelity of the Source engine. As we move forward into the Beta phase, our focus will shift from experimentation to finalization. We will polish the visuals, improve the user experience, and finalize content.

Stats & Rankings

Official servers are now tracking player stats, that can be viewed in the Profile menu. There are several rank levels to attain, and when you advance, your character model will display the arm patch of your rank. Upon the game's full launch, stats will be reset for all players.

Unit System

With the introduction of stats and rankings, we have created a system to reward players with an unlocked Unit inventory item when they rank up. These Units will be strictly cosmetic, adding diversity to each faction and expanding historic representation. With the beta release, we are providing one Unit per faction exclusively to our Early Access customers. Anyone who buys the game after launch next year will not be able to obtain these Units, unless they are traded for on Steam. These "First Wave" Units are based upon units that served during the outset of the Second World War: Gordon Highlanders (Commonwealth), 1st Ranger Battalion (U.S. Army), and 1.Infanterie Division (German Wehrmacht). We already have several more Units in progress, such as Fallschirmjäger, 101st and 82nd Airborne divisions, 92nd "Buffalo Soldiers" Infantry Division, Canadian regiments, Australian regiments, Indian regiments, and even more planned.

Air Support

The addition of air support brings a new level of intensity to each battle. All factions now have a Carpet Bombing option, while the U.S. Army have a Mustang strafing run and the Germans have a Stuka dive bomber, with their fearsome siren.

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.
