Most important thing for many of us

The vehicles that were an important part in first game are sill in development

"with a plot and cutscenes"

Although as you can see by the (?)'s from shifty they talk about ricochets killing you in the first game, and they call the dp28 an M60 so you don't know if they directly heard everything from 1C or are making some things up as well. The 50% done figure probably needs to be taken with a grain of salt as well.

The screenshots look much improved over the Alpha pics. The "radioactive" bloom problem seems to be gone.

I hope by the time the game comes out you'll be able to hip-fire most MGs.

Very cool preview, thanks!

Thanks for posting

The graphics do look much better, but they are of such low quality it is hard to judge it.

As for the rest, it is hard to comment, because the translation was so poor. But here are my thoughts anyways:

Nice to hear about the cut scenes for the Germans. Hopefully this means the campaign is a bit more than the MP maps strung together UT3 style.

Seems like the SMGs and DP28 will still have the crazy recoil though.

Hopefully the running and jumping won't be too quick - I don't want to see people running jumping out of windows with easy when they are packing an MG42.

And I just hope the mini map is gone from hard core mode.

Either way, nice to see more info. Looking forward to more.

If you guys can't do full open tank battles like we have in OST please at least have combined arms maps that have one tank in support of the infantry.

A good example of this would be like the Pavlovs House map where the Germans have a Stug tank for armor support and that's all. You could of course do the same for the Russians by using a T34 or something if the roles were reversed and they were attacking.

Thank you, man! Nice New!

[Private Who?]

nice. very very nice! If I had to guess, I'm thinking summer. Like July, when the offensive against Stalingrad began. But that's just my guess....either way I'm pumped.

"The questine whether the storyline will show moral problems of a nazi soldier, realizing that his is a murderer, was not commented by 1C. But you heard it here first!"

WTF is that about. the nazi soldier was no more a murderer than the russian soldier. only the nazi superiors were responsible for the holocaust and yet everyone thinks that all germans were sons of the devil.

This previewer is off base in many regards (such as saying the game has an M60). I'm not sure where they dug up the person writing the article, but there has been no announcement to him or anyone else about vehicles being in the game. He's just making assumptions based on what was in RO: Ostfront. In other words, its another case of a magazine article writer talking out of their "you know what". So take anything in that article with a grain of salt.

Thanks for the confirmation.

I figured half of it was either exaggerated or lost in translation.

Guess we'll have to wait for a better source for a proper update.

If nothing else, it will have baby launchers in it.

There has to be vehicles in rohos, or its going to be a big letdown, It should at least be better than the first, not taking stuff out.

Maybe DLC...oooh! ouch...

[Apos]

Well, vehicles were crucial part of Red Orchestra Ostrfront. TWI if You can't handle with tanks and your schedule is tight maybe you should talk with Darkest Hour mod guys. They made (imho) best mod ever, which extender basic RO tank gameplay to next level and make it more realistic. Quantity and quality of tanks in DH is decent.
