I had a few issues getting the game to start, after selecting multiplayer and Public match the screen would go black, but exiting Steam VR fixed the issue. I then had issues where I'd get a message that the VR Headset needed to be re-calibrated (holding B on the left-hand index controller fixed that issue). The lead dev was able to assist me with my issues on the Discord Server (how many other games do the devs jump in to help you out or offer to do a special build to troubleshoot your issues) so I was able to get in and actually play.
My time is limited with two little ones so I don't have the ability to game as much as I used to. I enjoyed what I was able to play even though I was pretty terrible at it. I think I got one kill and died nearly two dozen times.
I didn't notice movement issues and it was pretty intuitive to get around. I'm fairly new to VR (just got my headset a couple of weeks ago and have really only been able to play for a couple of hours total). While I would get moments of disorientation from other games I didn't really notice it with this one.
I don't know what others are talking about with it being janky or having tons of issues, but my guess is they're expecting Half-Life: Alyx or a AAA game with a corresponding budget instead of what it is. I'm running a Valve Index with a 2070 so maybe my machine is just better equipped than what they're running. I also was playing on a Sunday afternoon and my match probably had 20 people in it, so there is a player base for it.
The game is a fun diversion and won't break the bank. I look forward to improving my skills in this game and playing more as time allows.

An extremely fun shooter offering 32 player lobbies! Yes the game population is a little slow at times but Ive been able to play 10 vs 10 rounds for a few hours on thursday evenings and on most sundays. This title offers full crossplay with the PSVR version of the game as well! In H&D D Day you will get to experience large scale maps with capture the point, death match, free for all, and battle royale style game modes. Try out tons of WW2 themed weapons and drive in tanks or jeeps to defeat the enemy. 1 small glitch the music on the menu would begin slowing down and sounding a little weird but went away after joining a lobby, and the sun had 2 sun beams in the sky which looked a bit weird through the lenses but it never distracted me or got me killed in any way. I would suggest this game if you like a nice carefree VR versus title, remember to hop on thursday evening and sundays!

Used to play this game all the time on psvr, now i can again on PC ...I love it!
First of all if you are expecting the reload mechanics of shooters such as pavlov, contractors etc, its not that type of game, so will take a little time to adjust...however once you get used to the controls, its really good fast paced fun...dont let the simplistic graphics put you off, its a solid game!
Tip: when i first booted it up, my guns were really tiny, you can adjust the weapon size in the menu

Finally Honor and Duty D-day comes to the PC. This game has a great following on PSVR and now with cross play should be even better. It’s a World War II shooter with (Team) death match and capture the flag modes. It has a great following all around the world with players from many different countries. There are peak times and days to find players with heavy traffic Sunday’s and Friday’s. The Devs are very responsive to the community and aren’t afraid to listen to suggestions. Strange Games Studio has been very dedicated to this game. It’s definitely a must own.
