Editing Day of Defeat: Source (section)

===Production===
''Day of Defeat: Source'' was first announced for [[Microsoft Windows]] during the development of ''[[Half-Life 2]]'', the flagship game of the [[Source engine]], as one of several of the [[Valve Corporation|Valve]]'s [[GoldSrc]] powered games to be remade on the new game engine. In the aftermath of the release of ''Half-Life 2'' and ''[[Counter-Strike: Source]]'', very little information was released regarding the development of ''Day of Defeat: Source'' until 2005. In February 2005, Valve announced ''Day of Defeat: Source'', stating that the game was nearing its [[software release life cycle#Beta|beta development phase]] and would be available later in the first quarter of the year.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://uk.pc.ign.com/articles/589/589792p1.html|title=''Day of Defeat: Source'' Is Coming|website=[[IGN]]|first=David|last=Adams|date=February 22, 2005|access-date=June 1, 2008|archive-date=February 11, 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120211160331/http://uk.pc.ign.com/articles/589/589792p1.html|url-status=live}}</ref> The game was opened to an internal beta test soon after, which certain members of the ''Day of Defeat'' community were invited to join. The beta version of the game was shown as a straight conversion of the most recent version of ''[[Day of Defeat]]'', at the time even including the same player and weapon models as the game's GoldSrc counterpart. Due to the response of the beta testers, significant changes were made to the gameplay, taking it away from being a straight conversion: the behaviour of weapons was altered and several classes from ''Day of Defeat'' were dropped entirely. Later media releases showed the revamped version of the game, including its new player and weapon models, as well as new additions to the game, such as rifle grenades and smoke grenades. On September 2, 2005, Valve announced that they were "confident" that the game would be released that month,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://uk.pc.ign.com/articles/647/647820p1.html|title=''Day of Defeat: Source'' Is Coming|website=[[IGN]]|first=Tom|last=McNamara|date=November 2, 2005|access-date=June 1, 2008|archive-date=February 11, 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120211160337/http://uk.pc.ign.com/articles/647/647820p1.html|url-status=live}}</ref> and seven days later announced an official release date of September 26, 2005.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://uk.pc.ign.com/articles/649/649817p1.html |title=''Day of Defeat: Source'' Dated |website=[[IGN]] |date=November 9, 2005 |access-date=June 1, 2008 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120211160354/http://uk.pc.ign.com/articles/649/649817p1.html |archive-date=February 11, 2012 |df=mdy }}</ref> The game was made available for preload via Valve's [[Steam (service)|Steam]] content delivery system on September 14, 2005,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://uk.pc.ign.com/articles/650/650942p1.html|title=''Day of Defeat: Source'' on Steam|website=[[IGN]]|first=Tom|last=McNamara|date=November 14, 2005|access-date=June 1, 2008|archive-date=February 11, 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120211160405/http://uk.pc.ign.com/articles/650/650942p1.html|url-status=live}}</ref> and was officially released on time on September 26.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://uk.pc.ign.com/articles/653/653849p1.html|title=''Day of Defeat: Source'' Released|website=[[IGN]]|first=David|last=Adams|date=November 26, 2005|access-date=June 1, 2008|archive-date=February 11, 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120211160439/http://uk.pc.ign.com/articles/653/653849p1.html|url-status=live}}</ref>
