Day of Defeat Maps

Overlord



"Soldiers, Sailors and Airmen of the Allied Expeditionary Force! You are about to embark upon the Great Crusade, toward which we have striven these many months. The eyes of the world are upon you. Your task will not be easy, as your enemy is well trained, equipped and battle-hardened. But this is the year 1944! Our air offensive has seriously reduced their strength in the air and their capacity to wage war on the ground. The tide has
turned! We will accept nothing less than full Victory!"
-Dwight Eisenhower

Allied Objectives: Destroy the barbed wire with bangalores. Once on the bluff, use teamwork to capture the three Axis machinegun nests. Fight inland to capture the remaining Axis strongholds. As a secondary objective, once the Axis MG nests are captured, use the TNT found in the bunkers to destroy the 88mm FLAK guns near the rear of the map.

Axis Objectives: Hold the beach! Holding back the allied forces for at least 30 minutes will result in victory.

Allied Tips: Don't linger on the beach. Run from one area of cover to another, using the "sprint" command while you still have stamina. 

Axis Tips: There are dozens and dozens of great ambush spots. Well placed MG's can hold off entire squads.


Avalanche



Near Salerno, Italy 1943.

A couple of days after establishing a beachhead at Salerno, the American advance towards the hills
was stopped by a vicious German counterattack on September 13. Intense street fighting ensued, 
with some towns changing hands several times a day.

Objectives: Control the 5 flags to win. Some are "team" flags, so will require more than one person to capture.

Tips: The half-destroyed buildings through town are filled with great ambush spots. Be wary of dark windows - they're perfect hiding places for snipers.


Caen 2



The city of Caen is in ruin. Fierce battles are raging through the narrow, debris littered streets. Move your way carefully through bombed-out buildings and past long-destroyed tank hulks. Stay alive and capture what you can.

Objectives: Capture the flags. Also, TNT has been placed near each end of the map - use the TNT to blast your way through certain buildings to avoid exposure on the streets. 

Tips: Stay clear of the streets if at all possible, especially the main plaza. There are many less watched side streets you can travel to avoid the enemy.


Dog 1



The Dog1 beach is not a safe place to be. The number one priority of anyone on the beach is to get OFF the beach, as quickly as possible. Mortar shells are exploding all around you, the squad you landed with are cut to ribbons by machine gun fire and torn apart by mines, but somehow, through sheer luck, you manage to arrive shaken but unhurt at the sea wall. Once there you have no time to catch your breath. The enemy is out to get you.

Allied Objectives: Capture the beach!

Axis Objectives: Hold the beach. As a secondary objective, you can take shells to the large bunker artillery peice to fire down onto the beach.

Allied Tips: Staying on the beach is sure suicide. Blow a hole in the shingle as fast as possible, and get up that beach!

Axis Tips: Try to keep the allies on the beach. In addition to MG nests in the bunkers, watch the single exit to the beach.


Anzio



January 21 1943. All is ready for the incoming night-landing in Anzio.

Allied Objectives: Gain the control of the south side of the city of Anzio. Make your way through the town, take control of the 5 crucial sites of the city; this will open the way to Nettuno and will help the incoming landing. 

Axis Objectives: Take control and defend the town at any cost.

Tips: The empty store front near the center of the map is a great 'overwatch' position of the crossroads.


Zafod



Axis Objectives: It is down to the final moments. Our city of Zafod is the last defense for the fatherland. The only way through the city is the bridge in the middle of town, defend it and drive the enemy from our sacred land. 

Allied Objectives: The city of Zafod is a key strategic point to launch operations further into the heart of Germany. The city has resisted for weeks becuase the Germans cannot be driven out of the cramped city streets. Secure the town and wait for reinforcements. 

Tips: Securing the bridge in the middle of the town will let your team spawn closer to the front lines. Try not to linger near the bridge unless capturing the flag - it's a magnet for enemy MG fire and grenades.


Thunder 



July 18th, 1944. The allies reach the town of Saint-Lô after the British and Canadian assualt on and siege of Caen. The 1st American army with 35th and 29th infantry divisions begins the assualt, while Saint-Lô is supported by the German 84th infantry division and the 2nd Fallshirmjäger division. The Americans must sieze control
of the town to prevent the approach of the German 7th army from the southwest and support a German perimeter defense line which could delay the American and British
campaign.

Objectives: Capture the flags.

Tips: The rain and thunder in this map will mute all but the loudest sounds. You usually won't hear the enemy moving until you're right on top of eachother - so stay alert!


Ramelle



Ramelle contains one of the last remaining intact bridges in this area. Whoever holds the bridge holds the fate of the battle in their hands. 

Objectives: Capture the flags.

Tips: The buildings next to the bridge are great for 'overwatch' positions. Place an MG or Sniper in these buildings to cover any troops crossing the bridge and capturing the area flag.


Heutau



As the Invasion neared its end, there was only one last barrier left to prevent the Allied Forces from entering the southern regions of the Reich: the Chiemgau Region with the key city Heutau, the Wehrmacht´s last real stronghold.

Allied Objectives: You all know what is in front of you, the Germans are fighting like a cornered rat inflicting heavy casualties every footstep we try to proceed, Heutau is the key to this region and this region is the key to the Reich.

Axis Objectives: We now have the chance to beat our enemy and gain back the initiative we lost since Sicily, I don´t have to tell you what would happen if we loose Heutau so don´t even think about retreating. There is nothing else other than total victory left for us. We are expecting a massive assault in the late afternoon so get in position.


Schwetzingen



Allied Objectives: Gain control of the flags to win.

Axis Objectives: Axis receive points based on how long they hold out, and which flags they maintain.

Tips: The tower gives a great view of the town and bridge - but be careful, it can be easily fired upon at nearly any spot in town.
