Darkest Hour Release Update Part 3: Rule Britannia!

(For those of you who missed our Part 2 update it is in the DH thread in the mod section of this forum)

Another week has flown by already but as promised we'll keep bringing you new stuff if we can. This week is no different. First off we're finally showing you our Brit infantry in game. Please note, before we get a lot of complaints, the Brits pictured are wearing the MkIII helmet the MkII helmet is also in game I just didn't take any screenshots of it. The map pictured is Soviasky by Joeminator which was donated to the DH and has been used to test new content.The Brits will be helping push the Germans back on several of our Tank and Combined arms map as well as having their own Infantry map with the first release.

​

Our second British Commonwealth related image this month is the astonishingly huge Le Mesnil Patry. This Canadian tank map was created by {Snipe}Bando and promises to be tank heaven for those of you who like the larger RO armor maps.

​

The last thing we are proud to unveil is the reworking of our GI model. After 18 months in development we felt that the old GI from way back when we started in December '06 simply didn't cut the mustard anymore. Tman has modeled two outstanding variants for us one with an assault vest and the other with the standard issue jacket. Both were textured by Aeneas2020.

​

In other mod news I would like to post a thank you to Psycho_Chicken who has been helping us sort out our website, forums and ftp in the wake of recent troubles. Also please join us all in welcoming Pro to the team, he'll be joining myself on the Texture team and I am sure you will be seeing some of his work very soon.

Until Next Time,
Aeneas2020 & the DH Team

I wonder if the map on the first screenshot is from DH and who created it?

Did you just look at the pics?

I like how the third screenshot on the left of Le Mesnil is basically one of the streets from Last Battle copied.

actually hobo it isn't im afraid nice try though.

p.s. the map the brit infantry is pictured in is a slightly reworked Soviasky. Joeminator donated the map to us a while back and we have been using it for testing purposes, like i said we have tweak a couple of things to make it frenchified (random word)

and yes please anyone looking at the brit helmet please read the text before posting.

All of our maps apart from the one Aeneas2020 Mentioned are custom made.
the Mapper who has made Mesnil has never undertaken such a huge map before and has used some buildings from the map donated to us by Joeminator.

so a couple of them may look similar but it is in no way a copy paste job.

We are striving to be as accurate as possible with all of our maps and content, just seems that some people are only to quick off the mark to try and pull what we are doing down, before even seeing any of it in game.

anyway thanks for all the comments so far, crits are always welcome but please wait and see these things in game before judging them from screenshots..

Great update!!! Just one thing though do the US infantry usually have these markings at the back of their helmets ?

 

[Major von Mauser]

Seeing as that helmet is for Rangers, not Infantry.........

Ok...Thanks!!!

 

[Bluehawk]

The white "Follow me" stripe was worn by officers in rangers, airborne, regular inf etc.

NCO's had a horizontal stripe.

Sorry, to say so but I think its a lie. On the first screen its quite obvious that your "mapper" copied the complete trainstation from basovka and just added some new textures.
You may have the permission from the mapper but imo its rather lame if you're saying everything else is custom-made.

 

[smokeythebear]

I think the first screen is all from Last battle. Or a map that looks exactly like Last battle.

 

[SchutzeSepp]

it is last battle, with some changes. the team used it to test new weapons and features in-game because its a small and intense map well suited for testing new stuff.
