A quick comparison of the numbers of servers at game-monitor.com says:

CS:S 30000
BF2 4200
TF2 4000
DOD:S 2500
AA 1500
UT2K4 1200
UT3 700
MTA 220
RO 170

So, not many people play it, but you'll get a game this weekend with offer going on, and maybe an increase in servers after this week

I'm at 50% DL'ed so far, I'll post an IP where I'm playing later once I've got stuck in

or if any existing players want to post an IP where they play, please do

i loved that game at release but some maps were so huge you had to run for a few mins to get to the front and you must be carefull you can die easily too! i guess it can be kick ass with teamwork, vehicules etc..

it may not be hugely popular by comparison but there is always a dozen large servers near full during UK hours. Its all ya need

Darkest Hour got taken out of the oven a couple weeks too early. Supposed to be a hotfix out next week that sorted the crashes with the US maps & hopefully bug fixes for the rest later on.

I know graphics aren't everything but the game looks very dated. I bought it a while ago but never really got in to it but i guess at that price you've got nothing to lose.

Played it today.

The Mod and RO in general is quite good.

But the movement of your player :mad:

, very clunky. If they could make the movement more smooth and COD/DOD/CSS like then I'd play this a whole lot more.

It's supposed to be clunky. It's meant to be a tad more realistic than COD/CSS, etc.

But at the expense of making it fun to play?

I like realism but there’s a fine line between realism and annoying! For me RO steps over the line into annoying.
