[protector]

Just seen the new screenies they look awesome!

It could be like you have to dodge MG fire and get shot in three different places, kill 10+ enemies while dodging their nades and still capping the objective.

 

[aktionman]

All good news!!

And (for me at least) new screenshots! Will the helmets and boots really be so shiny in-game?

Red Orchestra 2:Heroes of Stalingrad will be shown at Gamescom 2009 (Cologne, Germany) in 1C

[DraKon2k]

awesome info, love the heroes thing etc., only thing worryng me is the sp campaign details, will it just be like BF42 with no story etc?

 

[protector]

Good point about the SP, it seems the TW lot have their heads screwed on so hopefully not, EA is only out for money making and also yeh helmets do seem a bit shiney...

 

[Rak]

Awesome. Putting a news on ROTr right now. Now, please please get a distributor in Turkey. I want mah community

Heroes: Obtain the ultimate goal and become a Hero online. Players with hero status inspire troops around them and cause fear in their enemies. Heroes have access to the best and rarest weapons and equipment, and will stand out visually from the rest of the soldiers.

How do players get to be an Hero? After getting a certain amount of achievements or maybe via DLC?

Stalingrad Campaign: The Stalingrad campaign will feature the multiplayer maps used in a campaign layout recreating the battle for Stalingrad from both the German and Russian sides.

So not a story driven one, kind of "Practice mode enchanced greatly"? Though it's good to hear the focus is still on the multiplayer, what makes RO so great

Red Orchestra 2:Heroes of Stalingrad will be shown at Gamescom 2009 (Cologne, Germany) in 1C’s business booth located in Hall 4 booth C-021.

See you there!

Edit: RO:HoS website is online btw. But why are the two soldiers are so hideous? :X

 

[Xendance]

I'll strangle someone if it's DLC :F

I wonder how you will stand out visually. Maybe you get to select diffirent uniforms?

Russian Snow Camo?

 

[O'Shannon]

sound like a mix of AA3 CoD5 and RO:Ost
-Realism of RO + vaulting ala AA3
-sort of "honor system like in AA3"
-and equipment stuff(hopfully not like in CoD).. maybe mag choise..(Drum)

hope the character customizations will be like UE3 were you can give your char some other cloth (at round-start-up you are dressing your char, so he is camouflaged as good as possible)

anyway as far as this equipmentstuff is not like in cod it is fine with me.. and hopefully the rare weapons are still somehow bonded to classes, and not so: every jerk is running around with a "silenced-ppsh" XD


AND i have question: did TWI use "motioncapture" in this game(did they earn enough moneys from KF and RO for it..XD )?

 

[PNV]

The website and screenshots are looking pretty good. Hopefully we'll get some gameplay out of Gamescom.

 

[Fedorov]

judging for those screenies i wonder if the game will support AA or will we have to force it in the CP

 

[LemoN]

judging for those screenies i wonder if the game will support AA or will we have to force it in the CP

those are most likley screenshots from an Alpha build

so you can guess it will look even better when its released

 

[protector]

I'm not sure the team would release official screenshots from an Alpha build usually you would take the best screenshots possible for your first media release to show off how good the game is looking. I personally cant see any major issues with how its looking graphically, a bit of jaggyness and some heavy highlights aren't major game breakers...

 

[Yoshiro]

As far as I know it's still being called alpha at this point.

 

[protector]

Well its a damn good looking alpha! most Alphas are still using blocks instead of player models lol

 

[[TW]Ramm-Jaeger]

As with all UE3 games the engine does not support AA in DX9 (those shots were taken on XP). I don't think you can even force it. And yes, the screenshots are from the Alpha build.

Thanks for the amazing screens, they look really good. Posted it on the website too to help spread the news among the Dutchies. Thanks TWI, keep it up.

How do players get to be an Hero?

I believe you open console and type "suicide".

I worry about TK/FF to get rare weapons from those heroes...

But snipers can easily distinguish heroes who are as a primary target, can't they?

Careful I believe the faces belong to members of the team lol... Lets just say they look like they have had a hard life.
