Battlefield is better than this game. Why waste time playing a game with poor gameplay and graphics? There are so many higher quality games out there that people actually put money into, not some "mod".
Just so you know they still play carpathian crosses on a polish server every friday night :) its about 10-12 people every friday :) The name is in red yellow and blue letters you cant miss it on friday night :D Be there tonight! :)
it's great that we finally have the western front in RO.. the bad thing is that the DH community, or at least those who actually play it, are infested with some right wing extremist scum.. :E 60% of the time if you see a person wearing a SS tag, that person probably has a huge swastika in his living room. The game is nice but I hate it how it's filled with Waffen-SS Die PanzerArchloch Die Homomannen clans one after another.. there were other units fighting in the western front.. not just the SS.
You can't set the range on the American tanks. They use a different kind of sight (called a "non" ballistic sight). All you need to do is line up the numbered range mark with your target and fire (4 = 400 yards, 6 = 600 yards, 8 = 800 yards, and so).
@bakvarnyu for some of the allied tanks they did not have adjustable sights. You just used the stadia gradients by judging the distance. Tankers would use a choke method on a target then determine the distance. I know sounds complicated but some practice you will get it.
I know a lot of these levels from Band of Brothers; they are like, total copies (and Band of Brothers was an amazing series; very authentic all the way around) in a very, very, very good way.

why the fuck did they remove omaha that would have been the highlight of this mod I think carentan is the best map rite now and even so its not that special
Because it wasn't up to scratch. We only have a couple of mappers and a lot of work is required to get them up to a Steam quality standard. Omaha will make a comeback, but it's just not ready and won't be for a while yet.
We don't have any official guide, but if you drop by our forums there are numerous threads regarding server setup. They do a better job at explaining it than I could.

Too late for me! After realizing not too much has changed with the damned bugs in this mod , I'm finally giving up on this and will sell RO as well - overall it has disappointed me and I'm sick of this disgusting graphics! Even BF 1942 which is from 2002 has better graphics than this and is more fun to play - sry guys I'm out! But all a question of taste and just my opinion...
@PsYcH0xChicKeN Why has TheBigHase comment been marked as spam? I think it's fair that people who are considering buying the game should hear his point of view also. Personally, this is my favourite FPS of all time.
First of all you can't sell RO since its tied with steam so nice try. Secondly this game has way better graphics than bf1942, its also a way better and more complex game based on realism and authenticity, but i figured you're a call of duty kid/noob with no life so i guess it means nothing.
@lyth1um Yeah surethang. No way I agree - it looked OK for me and the time and I still like it today and Onlinegaming was and still is epic and so much fun. Nowadays though I recommend u guys to have a look on ArmA 2 Mods (Invasion 1944, Fields of War Normandy) and the upcoming game "Iron Front" - and then tell me what you say about that... And I have sold RO long time ago and it had disappointed me overall and that is my opinion and nothing more or less... ;-)
can some one pelase pm me? i need this mod for steam, but tis not working because ym steam is broken, if some one has the 3.0 version of this mod PM me and i need to talk to you, i need the mod thats in the source mods folder thing plz
First you need Red Orchestra. Once you have that download Darkest Hour via Steam. Make sure all preexisting Darkest Hour folders are deleted to make sure it installs correctly (particularly Beta 2.0 if you have that).
OOOH this is sooo good I think I'm going crazy! ;-) Really guys where is Omaha? A D-Day scenario without that is more than disappointing,huh! ? Hope u keep it up and we'll get more maps?
A fine Mod off of RO. What it lacks is YOU. There is a great concept that goes with this game that after you join up with any of the fine squads/clans you will see, its a form of realism. A strong CPU will bring out all the fun of this game.
I concur, Where did Omaha go? What about the map with the glider entry and the attack on the arty battery? Otherwise, I had an A M A Z I N G time playing last night. Great, great mod. Really great job guys.
It's there! Free at last! Halleluja! ;-) Now testing,testing - yo! Oh yeah - and OF COURSE thx for your work! Sure ur doing good to give others fun! :-)
Now it's evening - and it is still not there! Another delay, huh!? Well , we did not have many so far... I really expect a lot this time - and I'm not alone I guess! :-/
For those still wondering, the release was supposed to go ahead on Friday, but Valve lost internet connectivity and wasn't able to get it online for us. Unfortunately that means it won't be out until Monday, but some of you have been waiting so long that I doubt one more day will kill you. :)
Cant wait to try out the new Tiger 2 and the new tank mechanics. Just hope the optics are not as big(line thickness) and that the cannon dosent have as much spread as the Jagdpanther. Btw, how about some tank maps. Theres a whole small crowed of peeps playing tank only in RO vanilla.
So when is the stand alone Darkest Hour UT3 retail gonna be released? wink wink :)
It's not release yet. My understanding is that it will be uploaded at midnight Normandy time today (er...Saturday morning) whenever that might be for you.
DoD:S is a TF2 game based in WWII now because of the Orange Box Updates. DH is a more realistic and more capable game for units to be a part of. Tanks, artillery, bigger servers, bigger maps. It's what you want in a WII game that you want to have a unit in.
...and what I would like to see the most: A good and working Botsupport for this ! Not everybody wants to play Online all the time! Let's hope it does improve overall now at last...
Still beta? I wonder if this gets any better or even to alpha some day!? I think it has been overall disappointing so far due to the bugs and the long times u waited for further releases or news! Will have a look still!
I think you'll find that every mod out there, for almost every major game uses a Beta versioning system. It's not really a full release if they've got more content coming down the pike, is it ? ;)
As it was said on their forums today, the change log is so huge between 2.0 and 3.0 the entire internet would crash if you posted it. Hyberbole aside, I'll looking forward to this.
Just to clear something up BigHase, Alpha's come before Beta's, which means they are usually more buggy than beta's.
And to answer your question, we have gone a long way to find and fix any bugs in there. You should see a new, improved version of DH, smoothed out as much as possible.
Good work Phyco... you guys have be working so hard one this! Everyone please spread this link and rate it! the more ratings the more view, the more view the more people who want this amazing game!!!!
