Darkest Hour: Europe '44-'45
DarkestHourPoster.jpg

Release Date: 2006
Developer: Jackboot Games
Publisher: Steam (online)
Series: Red Orchestra
Platforms: Microsoft Windows
Genre: Tactical first-person shooter


Darkest Hour: Europe '44-'45 is a popular and critically-acclaimed game mod for Red Orchestra: Ostfront 41-45. A free DLC, Darkest Hour transforms the action from the Eastern Front to the European Theatre of Operations (ETO), adding new features such as:

1) New Armies and Campaigns: Players can control American, British and Canadian soldiers battling across Normandy, jumping into occupied Holland and holding the line against the German counterattack in Belgium.

2) New Weapons and Vehicles: Over a dozen new weapons and vehicles can be used, including several new Wehrmacht weapons.

3) More Classes: Players can call in artillery from the front lines with the help of Artillery Officers and Radio Telephone Operators (RTO's), and deploy playable mortars for fire support.

4) New Gameplay Features: Players under fire can hear supersonic ballistic cracks, suffer dehabilitating bullet suppression, be temporarily dazed by artillery and explosions, suffer wounds specific to body parts (i.e, getting shot in the legs impedes movement), mantle walls and, in some maps, parachute in from the skies.

The following firearms appear in the video game Red Orchestra 2: Ostfront 41-45:

Browning M1919A4

The Browning M1919A4 appears in-game, used by the US, British and Canadian faction Machine Gunner classes. Oddly enough, it is fitted with a deployable bipod despite the real-life M1919A4 using an M2 tripod - although it is clear the weapon in the game is not the later Browning M1919A6. The M1919A4 is also mounted on the turret of the M3A1 Halftrack, and pintle-mounted on the M8 Greyhound, M5A1 Stuart and the Mk II, M4A1 and M4A3 Sherman tanks.
