There is barely a HUD, which only serves to point the way to the objective you need to capture or defend. The hook about Day of Infamy is that it strips off the extra layers and miscellaneous details, to bring a shooter that focuses on only the bare essentials, and the result is a game that will constantly keep you on your toes over even the most minute details while doing said bare essentials very well.
It’s not that there’s anything wrong with that, it’s just that Day of Infamy is a prime example of not needing spectacle to effectively convey the immersion of what it was like to fight in those times.ĭay of Infamy is a pure multiplayer shooter built into a full game off of a WWII mod of the same name for Insurgency, a hardcore modern warfare-style multiplayer FPS that came out back in 2014. The historical shooter is gradually making a comeback, with series like Call of Duty and Battlefield attempting to glorify the events of each World War into visual and auditory spectacles.
