Adds in the Americans and British, more than 15 new weapons, 10 new vehicles and a massive 10 new maps. Add in glider landings, parachute drops and beach landings and you have Normandy done RO-style! For the full details, plus a trailer and all the download links, head over to the Darkest Hour website - click HERE.

Well since its a 1st beta I won't really be too critical. I just hope you guys can solve the constant crashing on American maps, as it does clear out servers awfully fast :p. So far though my favorite feature is the Higgins boat on crack :D

I like a couple of the maps, and the weapons are cool. Think this could be good if it didn't crash so often. Hope to see a patch soon.

Congrats on the release!

Yeah it's very nice, but I quit playing when I got general protection faults. At least it's a known issue with alot of people. I'm sure it will get sorted out soon.

GREAT JOB.

I was surprised to see it came out a day early so i only got to play it a few minutes. Looks good so far can't wait to get home and play for a few hours :p

You guys really have to work on optimization.

First you should (or HAVE TO) start with collision models. I noticed none of your custom meshes are using collison models they all are using per polygon collison which works pretty well but it is far too demanding also your meshes don't have Karma collision which means ragdolls go through them. You can see that on the Pegasus Bridge map, go in the trenches and get killed the dead body goes right through them.

Also the metal trinagles which are supposed to block the tanks have set the default sound setting that means it doesn't sound like metal if it gets hit.

Apart of that and a few other nitpicks keep up the hard (and good work).

This is a lot of fun. Thanks for all your hard work. Hopefully soon there will be a bugfix for all the crashes.
