Darkest Hour: Normandy 1944 Mod for Red Orchestra: Ostfront 41-45 Parachutes Are Next! news

With the success of our 1.1 release, our development team has been working eagerly to bring you yet another addition - the long awaited parachute system! After many delays we are finally releasing this system in the August patch. If you recall from our Feature Trailer, the chute system allows players to spawn inside airplanes and simply jump out the door at any point in its flight. As the player exits the plane, the chute will automatically deploy and slow the fall, providing some steering ability and realistically slight control over your landing point.

    

With this parachute system, we are releasing our first Airborne Drop map, Chateau Bellenau. As you can see from the pictures, Chateau is a night-map based on an airborne attack on a French mansion. This will give players the chance to test the new system while enjoying a very fun map.

The release of this patch will be announced in a few weeks, so be sure to check back frequently. In the meantime, keep an eye on our homepage, DarkestHourGame.com, as we have just finished the new layout and are coding in the new update system to hold a lot more content.
