Darkest Hour March Press Release: Release Date Announced!
Welcome to the Darkest Hour March Press Release. As many of you will no doubt have realized by the news title and banner Darkest Hour now officially has a release date. You can be expecting to storm the beaches and drop from the skies above Normandy in May 2008. More details of the first release will be coming soon but until then we have another media update for you to enjoy.
The first piece of content we are proud to present this month is the British Commonwealth Infantry model. This model, like the Brit Paras last month, was created by Tman and Nights2006 with the gear model donated by Andrei313. Both model and gear were textured by Aeneas2020. The model comes in a number of varieties for each different unit represented in game including British and Canadian variants along with both the MkII and MkIII helmets. The Brit infantry are making their first appearances on DH battlefields as this article is being typed and we hope to bring you some in game images in the near future.
Another piece of content making a debut on the DH battlefield in the near future is the deadly M10 Wolverine. Modeled by Tman and Textured by Aeneas2020 this famous tank destroyer will be adding some clout to the allied line up (including the British Achilles variant). Although lacking the best armor and possessing a turret traverse time that can only be described as glacially slow the M10 was numerically the most important tank destroyer of the Allied forces in Normandy. When combined with the M4 Sherman and M5 Stuart the M10 completes a formidable armored opponent for the Axis tankers.
Lastly we are pleased to unveil a weapon that has been much demanded, since the days of RO:CA, the Fallschirmj

I bought RO just because this mod looked so good, and believe me i will get at least 50 people on it personally! Is the DH mod going to be integrated into steam as well? Also, i was just curious if this game has any sli optimization like some other games do. My new system arrives friday, and i got the 9600 gt sli config. Thanks!

It wont come via steam im afraid you'll have to download it and install but we'll make that as painless as possible....thanks for the support. As for SLI optimisation it hasn't been specifically designed for SLI as it is just using stock RO's graphics programming but a nice rig with SLI will def help you out a lot.

Darkest Hour Release Update! (Pt 1 April)
Darkest Hour Release Update! (Pt 1 April)
Welcome to the first of many Darkest Hour Release Updates:
From now until release Darkest Hour will be showing updates at sporadic intervals as we introduce new items and features into the game. With this in mind we have created a short video showing you two of the new features DH will be bringing you this summer. The first being our parachute system and the second being our radio man class.
The Parachute system will allow you to jump from a C53 Skytrooper over the Normandy countryside. As you watch the video you will realize that not only do you actually jump from the plane itself but you can also choose where to jump meaning endless possibilities in where to attack the enemy. The second of the features shown in the video is our Radio Man. This feature allows the officer to call down arty support from a mobile comrade (no more long walks back to the nearest radio). People many think this is a game balance nightmare however we can assure you the feature has been thoroughly tested to ensure it does not overpower one side or the other. Stay tuned for coming updates to see what other new features the officer role in particular has up its sleeve.

Continuing on with showing off new things in Darkest Hour we are proud to unveil some new vehicles and a new weapon in game. The first of these is the C53 shown so prominently in our new video. modeled by Tman and textured by Aeneas2020 it is a pleasure to jump from this thing in game (oh and before people ask the props do turn but they appear stationary in screen shots). The second vehicle in game is the M5 Stuart this little tank has become a new favorite especially in the infantry support role because of its small size, fast reload and speed it is the perfect thing to call when you need some help clearing out an axis position. The last vehicle this month is the much requested Opel Blitz. Modeled and Textured by ScubaSteve this truck has been dropping Axis testers into hot points on maps (not to mention the races that have broken out with it). Finally the Lee Enfield No.4 Rifle made its first appearance in DH with the latest build. With not semi automatic like the Garand this beast can still make a mark on the field of battle and has become two of our top devs favorite over night.
I look forward to posting with more news soon and until next time.
See you on the field,
Aeneas2020
