Set across World War II battlefields in Europe, Day of Infamy puts you in the role of an infantry soldier serving with the US Army, British Commonwealth, or German Wehrmacht. Fight across 14 levels in player-versus-player matches or cooperative modes against AI.
Choose from nine specialized classes and work with your team to capture or defend positions, destroy equipment, and advance the frontline. Gunfights are highly lethal, so moving carefully and coordinating with teammates are central to surviving and completing objectives.
Use more than 60 weapons, customize them with attachments, and communicate through proximity voice chat or radios. Officers and radiomen can coordinate artillery and other support. Rank progression unlocks playable units, while weapon and character options offer further customization.
Players often remember the game fondly for its tense, tactical WWII firefights, satisfying weapons, and immersive battlefield sound and atmosphere. Some also enjoy cooperative or bot matches, though opinions on the bots vary. The most frequent complaint is that multiplayer servers are now sparsely populated or empty; reviews also report launch and crash problems on some systems.
