Game summary
Set in the European theater of operations during World War II, DoD players choose a specific role on their team, and tackle goal-oriented missions based on historical operations. DoD:Source takes the classic gameplay of the original Day of Defeat and improves the experience with updated or redesigned maps, weapons, and characters, along with Source engine gameplay and technical innovations, including state of the art graphics and HDR lighting. Try DoD:Source and we think you'll agree it's the most fun WWII action available online.

Play Day of Defeat: Source on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play Day of Defeat: Source on a Mac is through Parallels, which allows you to virtualize a Windows machine on Macs. The setup is very easy and it works for Apple Silicon Macs as well as for older Intel-based Macs.
Parallels supports the latest version of DirectX and OpenGL, allowing you to play the latest PC games on any Mac. The latest version of DirectX is up to 20% faster.
Our favorite feature of Parallels Desktop is that when you turn off your virtual machine, all the unused disk space gets returned to your main OS, thus minimizing resource waste (which used to be a problem with virtualization).
Day of Defeat: Source installation steps for Mac
Step 1
Go to Parallels.com and download the latest version of the software.
Step 2
Follow the installation process and make sure you allow Parallels in your Mac’s security preferences (it will prompt you to do so).
Step 3
When prompted, download and install Windows 10. The download is around 5.7GB. Make sure you give it all the permissions that it asks for.
Step 4
Once Windows is done installing, you are ready to go. All that’s left to do is install Day of Defeat: Source like you would on any PC.
