Darkest Hour: Normandy 1944 is a modification for red orchestra. It will focus on the Normandy campaign in 1944 and will not only cover the landings and airborne drops of the 6th of June 1944 but it will also include the epic large scale tank battles that took place in the later stages of the campaign.

We have finally released Beta 1.0 of this mod and your opinions and suggestions are important to us so please post them on our forums.

Call for testers

If you wish to help in the testing of the official release and have your input count in the look and gameplay of the mod, contact me via PM through these forums and I will give you details of how to get set up.

All active testers of the official release will have an easter egg placed on their favourite map with either a picture of them or an inscription of their game name. Only the level designer and the recipient will know where the easter egg is located.

Get in touch now -  testing starts next Sunday (7th)

Hello,

This looks great and I am very excited to try it out. The gameplay of RO with the addition of all the new content looks great.

One thing though where can I download the 2.0 version?

When i install this mod it makes a folder in the red orchestra folder in the steam folder. I know thats not right cause i've used this mod before and that time i moved the DarkestHour folder somewhere but i cant remember where. So is there anyone who knows which folder it should be in?
