--New infantry features, including Airborne drops onto the battlefield, bullet suppression and supersonic cracks, plus a new radioman class for calling in artillery strikes

11 new maps, including:
--Juno Beach – Canadians storming the beaches in classic D-Day action
--Carentan – the US 101st Airborne assaults the town shortly after D-Day

Eh ovako jel se ta beta 3.0 bas mora skinut sa steama ili moze i ovak nekako, ako moze oces mi zalijepit link jer sam trazio pa nisam naso

[Vragoder]

Koliko znam, 3.0 se skida isključivo preko steama. Original ROO je još uvijek na sniženju - 5 €!

Osim moda Darkest Hour, u paketu sa ROO dolazi još i mod Mare Nostrum: Homepage, Official Trailer
LP

[BeroVK]

Oke to me zanimalo hvala

[kasper_sky]

mislim da tako jeftina ww2 fps igra sa bonus free modovima koji su mrak, ne zaslužuje skidanje negdje drugdje(torenti) osim prek stema.

[Vragoder]

Pošto je RO/DH/MN isključivo online MP (nema SP kampanje, može training sa botovima), nema smisla skidati negdje drugdje
Dva-tri puta godišnje je free weekend ili sniženje.

[BeroVK]

Ma sve ok sam moram nekog ulovit sa kreditnom pa kupit cijena nije bitna ako je igra dobra

[Vragoder]

Je dobra, odlična štoviše, ali nije savršena. Unreal engine nosi svoje probleme. Ima bugova, pogotovo na mapama od community mapera. Ima blesavih igrača koji svojim glupiranjem uništavaju zabavu. Learning curve je dosta strma, potraje dok se naučiš efektivno koristit svim oružjima na različitim udaljenostima, dok se navikneš na kretanje od zaklona do zaklona, položiš vozački za tenka i sl

No, jednom kad "naučiš", osjetiš ambient i teamplay, povratka nema
A za igrača kojemu je RO stil MPa prihvatljiv, uz toliko puno sadržaja koji se nudi za 15€, omjer uloženo/dobiveno je u debelom plusu.

[Vragoder]

Dugo očekivani update je vani! (via Steam)

Smješten na bojišta zapadne Europe, Darkest Hour prati savezničke i njemačke trupe od iskrcavanja u Normandiji, operacije Market-Garden, "Battle of the Bulge", pa sve do kraja drugog svjetskog rata. Uz pregršt autentičnih modela vozila, osobnog naoružanja i raznih uniformi, igrače očekuju odlične mape, rađene uz pomoć satelitskih snimaka gradova i poprišta stvarnih bitaka. Bilo da se radi o pješadijskim, tenkovskim ili kombiniranim mapama, uvijek je prisutan veliki broj različitih uloga i naoružanja. Mnoštvo ograničenja, kao što su odsutstvo radara, health sistema, crosshaira, podsjetnika na broj metaka u šanžeru, oznake od kud je došao hitac, te učinkovit supression sistem, pružiti će osjećaj realističnog bojišta, te mnoštvo izazova i zabave za sve realism gamere. Darkest Hour dolazi isključivo kao multiplayer, a sve se staze igraju po Capture the Objective sistemu.

Darkest Hour 5.0 je posljednji update za ovaj besplatni mod. No, Developeri kreću u razvoj njegovog nasljednika - Darkest Hour 2!

Well folks, the time has come at last. The actual release of this update has taken a bit longer than all of us anticipated, but we hope that you will find it worth the wait. The final update for Darkest Hour: Europe '44-'45 is NOW available for download on Steam.

This is a rather bittersweet moment for us. With the release of this update, official team development on Darkest Hour: Europe '44-'45 has come to an end. While official development on the mod has ceased, we are confident that the game's legacy will endure thanks to YOU, the community.

Why would a development team work on a free mod for so long? Yes, Darkest Hour has been around for a long time - 5 years to be precise. First and foremost, we do it for the love of the game and the dedicated community that has followed us throughout the years. Without your continued support there would be no Darkest Hour, plain and simple. We've wanted to challenge ourselves and push the tools in our hands to the limit. We've wanted to perfect techniques and concepts for future efforts and Darkest Hour has been a fine vehicle for that. We are passionate about the history - the men and the machines that fought in the largest conflict humankind has ever known. And last, but certainly not least, we still have fun every single day!

We tip our collective hats with much respect to Tripwire Interactive who created the amazing platform upon which we have built our dreams. Their support and encouragement has been incredible, and we would like to take this opportunity to thank them once again and give credit where it is fully due. Bonam Fortunam lads!


To our former team members: the fine craftsmanship you have contributed to this long endeavor and the sacrifices you have made is not forgotten. Wherever you may be, we raise a glass (or three) to you.

Our personal gratitude to the clans, server admins, and others who have stuck with us through the "best of times, and the worst of times".

To our beta testers, who have spent many a long and late dreary hour running over the same old parts of certain maps or driving around in this or that vehicle to find out which part of the code we might have broken during that particular week - we salute each and everyone of you.

To all of our regular forum contributors, we know that it wasn't always possible to add or change everything you requested, or maybe even some of what you requested, but please know that everything you write here is read, considered, and processed...sometimes banked for future reference. Our greatest appreciation for your time and efforts.

Spread the word to all of your friends and fellow gamers: this old warhorse has a lot of life left in her yet! The future is in your hands. And if you haven't played in awhile, give us a fresh look - you might like what you find. See you all on the battlefield!


When one door closes, another opens...This post also serves as the first official public announcement of our team's transition to the Jackboot Games, LLC banner. You might notice some BIG changes to the place over the coming weeks. We hope that you will continue to share your thoughts and ideas with us as we embark on our next journey. Development is already underway on our new project - a standalone release built using Epic Games' UDK featuring the British/Commonwealth sector of operations in Normandy from the D-Day landings until the closing of the Falaise Pocket. Our pledge to you is to stay engaged and remain true to the type of gaming experience you have come to want and expect from us.

Have a happy and safe holiday season!
