Argh ok i've been playing with this for ages now and i cant get the text to go right please when someone auths this can they sort it out?
You gotta jump into HTML mode and remove all the dodgy HTML the copy and paste added :D
Hey aenas... sorry to find this out.. but theres a glitch/bug on the omaha map, because when i left the higgins landing craft near the shore... i fell right throught the map...
Looks good guys, downloading. Though one thing, the music on the video, I know someone worked long and hard on it, but to me, sounded more like a drama piece than an action packed, fast passed game track, as there were no sound effects of the weapons or action, so it did not give me the impression it was epic as I am sure it is... excellent work on getting it released after the theft guys, congrats!
Wow, I thought you´d release it at 12:15 american time, but that´s a great surprise! You just saved my afternoon!
Will be downloading and playing this when I get home today. Love RO, just never have time to play it, but I installed it just the other day so I could play this mod when it released, I hope the release goes smooth :)
Btw CaptainSource while I agree it is not the most action packed song, it is a Moby song called God moving over the faces of water I believe, it's just a song backing up some video and is a better fit than some techno/heavy metal which would have felt really out of place imo.
I thought the music was a bit epic, not because of the content being shown, but because its finally released, like we have reached the light at the end of the tunel :D
I've been waiting for this mod for a looong time. Finally is released. I'm downloading now and ASAP I'll post my comments here.
Thank you DH team :D
Fantastic mod, the best thing to do is play this mod to have your own opnios, wich (I'm sure of that) will be positives.
I had some CTD and conection problems that I am not used to have in RO, but the rest of the mod (game-play, maps, armys, effects, vehicles) are very well done.
Just one tip, the ironsight for the M1 Garand is to close to the soldier's face.
Time to buy RO for this mod!
It's only $5 this weekend, so now's a good time!
guys PLZ tel me how to downlode this one? i have RO game but i dont know how to downlode this game? PLZ HELP ME PLZ
lol @ over 10 new vehicles
just say the exact number if its such a smaller number
that only works for like over 1000, or MAYBE 100.
over 10 lmao.
The reason for not having the exact number in the Trailer was when the Trailer was made the number of new vehicles/weapons that would make the first beta release was unknown. We knew we'd have over 10 but we didn't want to put in a wrong number. Say we claimed 18 and only deliver 12.
So I could have put in this in instead...'new vehicles, not sure how many. Don't have an exact figure'...not quite as catchy.
Now compare the number of vehicles to the other RO MOD releases. So saying over 10 is a big deal in terms of RO mods when both previous MODs failed to even match half this number for their first release.
So the use of the term 'over ## vehicles/weapons' totally works in this instance.
:) lmao
nit-picking!
Even 5 extra vehicles is impressive. You wouldn't know that though, so shush.
O F***ING YEA
gave it a quick run, unfortunately I got that crash bug that everyone keeps mentioning, patch it up guys I wanna play this more :)
The previous Trailers I did had more traditional sweeping music. However like shadow-wi|| says we have reached the end of the tunnel (or the begining of a new one :P) and I think the music reflects that.
We wanted to do something different in terms of music/feeling from the last 3 Trailers.
Glad some of you liked it :)
harv r chat bullshit :P
haha :D

killer445
thx a million
:D no problem
So... game crashes on launch... no info on your forums... irc channel empty... hmph.
there a couple of bugs. fall to the bottim of map when exiting higgins boat + pplz skins r bugged sometines
I had the same problem on the Normandy map when I tried to play this online last night. It crashed as soon as I joined the American team, too. However, it works fine offline with bots no problem. While not as fun, it does show off the mod pretty well.
I've noticed odd little bugs while testing this out, mostly with the weapons. For example, you can't change out the barrel on the Browning M2 .30 cal, so if it overheats, you're stuck with a hot gun. The browning has no ammo belt, either.
The Revolver and Sten are very low on the screen and hard to see until you bring them up with iron sights. While understandable, it's a shame not being able to see the weapon model outside of the barrel. The Sten also has two firing modes, despite the fact that it has no indicator for it.
The only other problem I've noticed is with the M1 Carbine. It's a minor animation jitter. When firing, the bolt goes through the back of the stock. It's hard to notice since it lasts a split second, but it's kind of weird.
Anyway, RO's excellent gameplay being extended to cover the other forces involved in WW2 is a dream come true. :) It could use some tweaks, but I'd say you guys have a good first release on your hands. Good Job, you guys. :D
Oops, I just read the in game description for the Browning M2, and it said the barrel can't be changed out. Does the barrel just cool down after a while, then, or are you screwed?
Another thing I've noticed is that the Colt 1911 is missing faces on the inside of the slide, so you can see through it when it reloads.
Is that the ending theme to the movie "HEAT?"
Yes it is. Nice spot (I'm a big Michael Mann fan :D)
It's called 'God Moving Over the Face of the Waters' by Moby.
I NEED HELP! i get crashes when i play as american =(
help me please!
It's a bug we are working on fixing. We hope to have a fix for it and other bugs out this week.
ok, cool
I've got this setup and running. I can play as Americans without it crashing so it is possible. Does anyone know if bots are properly supported in this mod? They seem so rediculously stupid it is impossible to play with them. Most of them will not even move from the spawn. Otherwise a great job on the mod. Just add in some more sounds for the weapons just sounds for when you deploy the BAR.
Any news for the patch, yet?
plage of today servers are bot servers most of players dont want to play them and on rest of servers is empty
ok wtf is up with this i installed the game but i have no DH icon so i can play this game has been hacked.
why is there no DH icon so i can play the game
