We've been a little quiet here at the Darkest Hour HQ for the last few days. There has been a number of reasons for this, the primary one being that we are still trying to crush the last few bugs before release. Next week's update will bring you specific details on the release date and how it will be received but until then we have another short teaser for you.
First off this month we have another couple of maps that we have been working on. Exocet has created a brilliant early morning assault map in the form of Merville Battery. In this map the British Parachute regiment must assault and destroy the German guns that could threaten the start of the Normandy landings. If you thought Brecourt was looking intense you haven't seen anything yet. The second map is the new version of Tumbleweed's St Lo City. The original map featured for St Lo is currently being reworked but this second map of the famous city focuses on a smaller infantry only urban combat. The fighting is chaotic at the best of times as the Allies fight their way through the ruined city and capture the Cathedral at the Axis end of the map.
It just wouldn't be another update if we weren't showing you a new model and something new in game and this update is no different. As always Tman has been working hard this time bringing us the .50 Cal machine gun. This beast will be mounted onto some of the Allied vehicles to help keen the Hun at bay. Our latest addition to the game itself however is the new US Player models. As mentioned in the previous update our old model was severely lacking compared to our new overall design. We hope you agree that the new Gis look great. The screenshots here show off both the Assault Vest and Jacket Variants.
Finally just as a little extra teaser we decided to throw in some action shots from last months testing. Until next weeks update thanks for the support and stay tuned in.

Aeneas, man wat about that testing part u offerd me m8??? u know where 2 find me soo l8er
lol! Don't do this. They don't appreciate the work of their testers. I was one of them some time ago and I worked really hard on finding bugs and telling them. In fact I was one of maybe 4 guys who seriously posted bugs in the forum. Anyway, I got kicked out without a reason and never heard of them again. They didn't even response to my friendly asked question, why I got kicked from the team...
and no, I did not leak any info or material :)
that suxx
Ald for your reference what was your name on the test team. We made clear three things to any testers a) That they do not break their NDAs, B) they show up to tests at least twice a week, C) that they test online not just in practice mode. For you to be kicked off the team you must have broken at least one of these rules so you have no one to blame but yourself. To be honest i doubt you ever were a tester you are most likely just one of the hordes of people related to certain areas of the RO community who hate the DH mod.
Who could hate you guys....?
I had responded to a notice for beta testers a long time ago..probably like a year ago. I went to the forums and such, and I posted my info on your forums and got accepted, and then someone said they would contact me or something, and it never happened. yeah. i'd be all over that beta, it'd be sore after i was done with it.
Keep up the good work, and do me a favor and release this next week.
Also a question...will this mod work like CC in the stock server browser, or will it be it's own exe like mare nostrum?
Thanks for the kind comment. We get a lot of apps for testers but unfortunately our Test team functions as almost a seperate entity from the Dev team so really I have no say who gets accepted. The current reason for the downsizing in testers is that the attack on our mod last month left our forums in a complete mess that broke our registration and admin processes....Therefore we have been unable to add new testers.
As far as your question about the mod working like CC. For now it will not be intergrated into RO more numerous reasons. We are however working on a work around for this for later releases that should help people who want to switch between DH and RO.
I want this mod, I want this mod, I want this mod! ><
Keep up the great work! Hope both M1 rifles are really good and fun to use as well
so aeneas that is a no in other wordz?
