So, it's pretty late and I'm tired but I just gotta share some screenshots from this night
Darkest Hour session. I play with really low graphics (for the FPS sake!) so you have to mind that but I hope they somehow in some way show how damn awesome this mod is. If you have
Red Orchestra: Ostfron 1941 - 1945 you better get it now if you haven't played it.
I played with three two friends of mine, we used Skype and it was fuckin' awesome. Those two friends were:
Jaquio and
Frunckenhoff.
First we have
Jaquio trying to clear out some American infantry attacking our position with some grenades on
Hill 108.
Jaquio played as a rifleman and I had the Mortar Observation kit with
Frunckenhoff controlling the mortar in the rear area. The Americans put up one hell of a fight.
Frunckenhoff driving,
Jaquio in the hatchet. Me on the top riding as a simple grunt. I died almost immediately after this screenshot was taken. About one second earlier
Jaquio went down his hatchet and closed it. Like he knew...
This picture doesn't really show what really happened. Here the Americans attacked our trenches with both infantry and tank support. In this trench we had four MG42's doing all they could to stop the advancing Allied forces. The screenshot does not show how awesome both the Allied attack was and the defence of the Axis.
As you can see, I'm heavily suppressed by enemy fire.
Mortar spotting for
Jaquio.
Sir, we have a hit!
Then this dude came and blocked my view from the window I was spotting, I let him overheat his barrels of his MG42 and reload and then I spotted again.
Here I check the map to see where
Jaquios mortar rounds hit compared to my spot. This is one of the things that makes this mod awesome. Here I had to coordinate
Jaquio so that he hit the spot I had marked on the map, he can also see the spot and the hit (the dust cloud) but correcting it and keeping it correct is a hard job but for a good team it's really effective and powerful. We ruled this map with the Mortar.
Sweden - Representin'
Spotting for mortar once again, this time for some strange dude that really didn't get the hang of it until the last five minutes of the game...
Still, we lived to fight another day! That's all, thanks for watching!
