The Significance of the Online Battlefield: Darkest Hour

[@Andrew_L86]

As a developer who worked on Darkest Hour for 9 years, thank you for this. One of my favorite things about Darkest Hour are those rare moments where I'm standing out of cover somehow miraculously surviving the hail of bullets. Shouting at those around me to stand up and charge! Then lead them by example and run through the smoke somehow continuously dodging the wall of fire. Reach the other side and dive into a trench. Then begin to reduce the enemy enough that a few friends manage to join me in the risk. But that very risk is what actually makes the difference in Darkest Hour. It's a game that seemingly punishes risk, but ultimately is so rewarding of risk. This contradictory is the very one that exists in war. He who risks and fails takes the same risk as the hero who achieves. To me heroes of war are all those involved, to suffer because of war is a suffering of heroic proportions. Just as we should respect a deadly weapon in peace time, we should respect all those who are involved in such a human calamity. Darkest Hour paints this picture of "It's not possible" but yet "No, it's necessary." The game creates a need to improvise to get the job done. It requires thought, a thinking man's shooter. Sometimes the 1st, 2nd, 3rd solution you try doesn't work. This very need-to-improvise is what all combatants deal with, especially leaders. The respawn nature gives players a chance to learn and improvise, to take risks that only the brave would in real life. I think Darkest Hour does the best job of providing the stage for players to role play as a brave dog soldier in an impossible situation and somehow feel accomplished when some level of progress is made. Favorite part of your video: 7:15 - 8:37

[@crumpetcommandos779]

this is a youtube video i go back to fairly often, it's what got me into Darkest Hour 2 years ago and I haven't stopped playing. I was always a fan of RO2, RS2 and Insurgency but DH is all my friends and I play now for that "tactical shooter" fix. There's just so many moments that are movie like and I can genuinely recall entire matches in Darkest Hour and how they went. I especially love the suppression mechanics, I've had times where I've had to spray an SMG at a squad of enemies for them to all dive to prone instead of me just being able to beam all of them like in say Insurgency. I've cleared buildings full of enemies with grenades and a bayonet, only to be friendly fired straight afterwards. Despite it's age; it's gritty and realistic yet fairly simple, with great sound design and visual feedback (especially for an older game) You really nailed it with this vid, hope you're looking forward to the Sicily update just like me!

Great Job, I was lead Developer on this game for a good few years and joined the team right at the start of it's development. Had many great times not only making it but also playing and repeatedly testing it. Made some really good friends and some excellent artists. Theel and Basnet took over from me when I left and have continued to build on what we had achieved. in the video you have concentrated on the infantry side of the game, But DarkestHour had one heck of a good Tanking community and the coders didn't some fine work on getting the vehicles as near as the could to the real thing. All the best to everyone and keep it up guys.

@@mrdoubleyew6340 Just found the channel and this was an awesome video!

[@soldierorsomething]

I used to play Darkest Hour (total of 215hrs) but i havent touched it in 8 years, but your video managed to bring back a lot of memories, like the ultra slow acceleration when trying to run away from a grenade or having to shoot ahead of your target if you have over 150 ping (in order to land a hit), also the melee combat that you featured in the video was always a moment that made everyone panic and smash all buttons in order to kill their opponent. So all in all your video is a huge nostalgia trip and it also brings back those old memories of your team just getting moved down and after 10-15 minutes of constant dying someone manages to cap the objective but you still lose due to running out of reinforcements...but just getting that 1 objective after all those deaths feels like a victory (even if it´s just a pyrrhic victory)

[@Patric16]

That was the first game where I was frightened to cross a road and rather take it slowly than to rush. I think that also the fact that you can die in shot rather than being a bullet sponge adds to the immersion of despair

[@imaca6538]

Played this back in the day and forgot about it. Going through my steam library a couple of weeks ago, seen it and downloaded it. How did I forget it, absolute goat of a game. They defo don’t make them like this anymore

[@RichardVSmall]

I remember thinking that so many people die in a single match of Red Orchestra that it couldn't possibly be a realistic depiction of a real WW2 battle. So I looked up some battles of WW2 and how many casualties there were, then I compared that to Red Orchestra and factored in the duration of a match vs the duration of the real battle to find out how many people were killed per hour on average. Guess what... it was pretty much the same. People die at the same frequency in a real battle as they do in Red Orchestra. Think about all those random deaths when you're playing, those ones where you just drop dead from a gunshot out of nowhere, or a random artillery shell - where there was literally nothing you could do to avoid dying. All those deaths are representative of reality. For every 10 random deaths in a match of Red Orchestra, 10 real human beings would be killed in a real WW2 battle - most likely in similarly random and unavoidable ways. I think that really hammers home the point of this video. Death in war most often comes suddenly, randomly, chaotically and completely unavoidably. That is truly horrifying...

You put into words what I was thinking earlier this morning xD like, it's clunky, it's blocky, it's old, it's almost empty at times, it's not pretty, but it is THE most immersive WW2 experience you can ever play. This game is capable of giving you PTSD seeing all your teammates blowing up in pieces and then getting blown to pieces yourself, all to respawn and die in a brutal way all over again... This game has the right atmosphere and setting. I wish more people played this rather than PS and CoD or whatevs because full server battles are freaking amazing and you no longer get to see that these days :C

I spent many nights playing DH until the early hours of the morning. It was the best WW2 multiplayer game I've ever played. I have so many fond memories of playing, making friends through the game and joining clans. It was probably the second MP game I ever played online and I was hooked. I'm glad people still play. I wish the mod team would make their own standalone game on a newer engine. I know it would be insanely good.

I feel like The Last of Us' Factions multiplayer captures that frenetic energy of unexpected CQB with minimal training without the jank of an old game with awkward animations and dodgy netcode. Two player will desperately try to land their very limited number of shots, position outside melee range, scramble for improvised weapons, dive in and out of cover, and do anything it takes to survive the encounter.

[@Feitlebaum420]

Love this game! Still play it regularly. Joined a battalion once I was so into it. Boot camp was fun, funny and oddly immersive. I always thought this game has just enough realism and strategy to not be tedious and stay engaging. You make great points about the movement and player stamina and about how DH really doesnt give any Hollywood treatment. Player movement particularly evokes the feeling of being a soldier but not a war hero. Firearms (of WW2) are rather heavy, and like how could I realistically be expected to sprint with one for very long in addition to the like 80 pounds of kit and ammo on my body. And not to mention the sense of anxiety fear and dread when you realize you are out of ammo. I think DH is the kind of WW2 shooter you would likely find some people who do reenactment/living history IRL playing it. Also, I'm excited for the Italy update.

Played this a ton in highschool like 10 years ago. Played it again today on a full server (its saturday) had a lot of fun.

The only servers are hosted in Europe so you have to deal with higher ping, but i manage, even from australia. I've contemplated buying PS but I'm a cheap ass.

I absolutely HATE "realism" in video games. It gives so many people a false sense of knowledge and confidence in whatever aspect the game is portraying. Example- Tactical shooters, first person or otherwise. No matter how hard these try to be realistic, they will always fail. From my experiences in combat, the games lack on single thing that completely destroys any sense of realism (ok, there are many, but this is the biggest one)- the lack of a fear for your own mortality. Without fail, ever boot I've ever trained came in feeling invincible, only to find out very quickly how woefully unprepared they are for the real deal. Once that first bullet whizzes by, you will experience one of 3 primal feelings: 1. Paralyzing fear 2. Overwhelming panic 3. Uncontrollable adrenaline rush Nobody faces that first firefight like a pro. Yet video games make you think that's exactly how it goes down. Yes, over time you get used to it, and if you survive long enough, you will become hardened (or you'll break irreparably... either is possible). I've seen some of the "toughest" men fall apart, seen the meekest of men become absolute war gods, and experienced both myself. In the end, I want nothing more to do with war, even though I am absolutely a bad motherfucker, considering my career. If I play a video game, I'd rather it be without the "real" part. I *WANT* to be a badass cyborg. I *WANT* to be an unstoppable force of nature. Because the reality is fucking depressing, no matter how good you are IRL-- Nobody lives forever, and the best fall sooner rather than later.

[@eliascloudtottenhaimkompin4193]

good video, dh is one of the best shooters of the ww2, even though it has a lot to improve. But one of the problems that causes the game to have few players, is the decisions made by the admins, that is, they ban someone who jokes the word "nig .." in the chat, and it's okay if they want to continue the fashion of "blak lives matter" by george soros. But if they are strict about it, they should also be strict and ban players who use exploits and spawnkill on the maps, they know very well who those players are... but they still don't ban them, and it looks like a kind of mob. In my opinion that is what makes the game have few players, because as you say, the learning curve is brutal, and a new player who arrives has to learn that learning curve, but if in addition to that the poor new players have to face cheaters addicted to the game, who know all map exploits to spawkill, it will cause them to leave the game

are you sure it's not that high? I do not think so. In fact, not long ago they banned someone for putting "transnigers" in their squad's name, lol. But that's not the point, what I mean is that in the same way that they are strict to ban when someone uses "N word", or when a noob does an accidental TK, they should be strict with the cheaters who use exploits in maps, and with those who does spawnkill for fun, because that is much more damaging to the game and for the reputation of the game, since any game in which there is spawnkill is frowned upon.

And I am not saying that offensive insults of any kind should be allowed, I am saying that it is ridiculous to ban someone just for say the "Nig.." word, if it is not said with the objective of denigrating another, it is as ridiculous as facebook, that you write a word and they ban you for 30 days

The only other WWII game that is near the greatness of this game is Hell Let Loose.

red orchestra ostfront is much better, all the good things about "DH" are ro1 stuff, especially the berlin maps and that hardcore "traumatic" war experience. And it is quite unfortunate that the entire ro1 community has gone to DH, and that everyone thinks that DH is like a "standalone game", as if the developers of DH had created the whole game. Ro1 is far superior, in content, better textures, better maps, hardcore recoil weapons, better ballistics, etc. In fairness, dh also has a few good things or fixes, like the ability to change fov, remove kill feed, ardennes maps, some weapons, and new factions. That's almost the only good thing, because all that BS of squads and rally points is a bad copy of PR, in fact it is practically plagiarism. All that squad system works fine in BF2, but in network orchestra it doesn't work, or it doesn't do much good. Ro1 is a game created for medium and small maps, except for tank maps. And it is more of a game for lone wolves.

If you enjoy DH, you might want to give Post Scriptum a try. IMO its the better game and not only moire historically accurate but much more intense. DH is good but Post Scriptum is just on a whole other level.

[@mrdoubleyew6340]

Its on my to play list.

[@heyho2752]

not true p.s is made by BOB fantasy boys so it only does that if you want to called the game which adds the fictional pontoon bridge to historical map to keep the crying populations bob fantasy in control "realistic" than i have nothing to argue with you

[@shackle_ton]

RO2 is better

[@guxtavouz]

Are you seeing the video or comparing games? FUCK YOU

[@mrdoubleyew6340]

no. It just aint

[@maxxpayne7964]

ro2 could improve and stop feeling like Battlefield if they were removed: - those shitty sounds that sound when you capture a cap or when you win or lose the game. -those icons that tell you where to attack and where to defend. - death messages on the screen. And also, if they improved: the sounds of the weapons and the bullets, some player animations such as leaning to the sides and in a prone position. And also, if they add more tanks and more vehicles. With all that ro2 could surpass dh in terms of immersion and freedom of action, and I am not saying that ro2 is inferior to dh, it is just that in terms of immersion it wins dh, but that happens only in some maps, as in almost all snow maps like cheneux, germany maps like pariserplatz, konigsplatz and kriegstadt, omaha maps, and some other maps like vossenack, stallingradkessel, lenningrad, fury, etc. Because in the other dh maps, like makhovo, berezina, puton en bessin, etc and many armored maps, the graphics are really shit.. and the textures look like paper, and they are poorly optimized. But you couldn't really compare ro2 to dh, because in terms of graphics ro2 and effects will always win ro2 as it is a newer game. Ro2 could be compared with post scriptum or hll, where ro2 is clearly superior

Nein

[@lt.sparky7776]

RO2 is a masterpiece, many DH lovers criticize ro2 because it has few tanks or vehicles, but what is better: have few tanks but excellently modeled, as in ro2? or have many tanks and vehicles, but modeled like shit and full of visual bugs, like in dh? ro2 has many things to improve, but those things are easily modifiable if the developers weren't so lazy

[@FaithHopeLove0123]

I have 3k hours on this game.. I stop playing it due to line wolf and cod play style from the toxic community. The pre capping of objectives and the devs adding shit from ps and hll into it.. miss the game when good players actually played it and used team work and comms. Sadly them days are over. Love the tanking! It was actually realistic unlike the new balance bs of trying to change history u see in hell let loose and PS.. and cod type of gamers have ruin this game and many other type of shooters with lone wolf coward play style and no team work or fighting for the current objectives.

[@EvoraGT430]

Same. The loss of the JR/Good Guys server was an immense blow.

[@FaithHopeLove0123]

Ro2 sucked was to much like cod. Which is terrible game. DH was amazing. Sadly the cod player base ruined it for me
