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.
