A little extra: some news from the newly-founded "Mare Nostrum" mod team... click on their banner above to take a look in more detail - they have a newsletter running there too. Of course, we are really pleased to see this one coming together and look forward to featuring other new RO mods here in the future. In the meantime, some more detail from the Mare Nostrum team:

Mare Nostrum is a modification for Red Orchestra that will take you from the deserts of Africa, through the Mediterranean and finally on the road to Rome.

There will be two campaigns, the first of which will focus on recreating the intense infantry and tank battles of the North African campaign during WW2. Due for release in the first quarter of 2007 it will be called Mare Nostrum: Afrikafeldzug 40-43.

You will be able to play as the British VIII Army or the AfrikaKorps. In addition to the new forces, we will be including a variety of new features for the first release including:

• 6-8 Historically inspired maps, focusing on combat at Tobruk, Agedabia, Fort Capuzzo, Sidi Rezegh, Gazala and many more!
• 14+ new weapons including the Thomson 1928-A1, Bren II, SMLE No. 1 MKIII, Pattern 14 sniper and the Panzerb

Mare Nostrum is a merger between the Africa mod formerly known as Burning Sands and the Italy mod formerly known as I Totally Forgot The Name Of The Italy Mod.

These features alone would make me want to DL it!

 

[daschewy]

also note for the italian campaign, it should be the italian and germans vs the brits and americans.

• Looking over the iron sights with MGs
• The ability to cycle the bolt to eject unused bullets.
• Mantling over objects such as sandbags and fences.

I've been checking out Burning Sands every once in a while, and heard about the merger a little while ago.


Looks very promising, and can't wait to check it out.

It will feel weird not having my trusty T34 to depend on.

 

[Feldwebel Crin]

Are we famous yet?

 

[FPS HS]

Great Job I like what I see look forward to your future press releases - Nice touch, btw on the old tattered newspaper with authentic advertising and everything.

So when can you guys sign autographs?

 

[Zips]

Wow, that's a great sounding mod there. Really looking forward to it!

 

[Mobius One]

Can't wait guys, the Thompson's gonna kick some ass.

 

[DirtyRat]

For those who haven't seen, HERE is our PR release.

 

[2Manny]

Looks awesome guys. Can't wait to try it

 

[Cyion]

If the African campaign portion is released in early 2007, and then appropriate fixes are made for it. Won't the Italian campaign never see the light of day until the next edition of Red Orchestra comes out with the Unreal 3.0 engine?

 

[Tiny]

Might seem abscent but when you do the Road to Rome part of the mod, you MUST include the elephant/ferdinand tanks. PLZ PZL PLZP LZPLP ZLPP PLZ
